      Default Rick Stansbury???

      If this thread gets closed I understand...

      What about Rick Stansbury???
      If anyone can find a reason why not to go after this guy please elaborate...Could this guy be the diamond in the rough?

      In my opinion this guy would be next coming of a Legend at UK...
      (As mentioned in another thread of a Legend in UK History)

      He is definitely a better choice than Ford...IMO of course...

      In order to understand my train of thought you have to put yourself in my position. You can't expect me to think like you because my life is not like yours.

      Taking over the helm as the Bulldogs head coach in 1998, Stansbury led his team to post-season tournament play eight times in ten seasons (five NCAA and three NIT tournaments), with five consecutive post-season tournament appearances, the first MSU basketball coach in history to accomplish this feat. His 2001-02 MSU team compiled the most wins in a single season in school history (27), winning the SEC tournament championship. His teams won the SEC West crown in the 2002-03, 2003-04, 2006-07, and 2007-08 seasons, with the 2003-04 squad winning the overall SEC regular season championship outright. Stansbury also owns MSU's record for consecutive 20-win seasons with four from 2002-06.

      Still not a "top coach" though...

      I agree that this may be a better option than Ford, and I also like Stallings at Vanderbilt. These hires aren't sexy enough though.

      Here you go read for yourself...http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Stansbury

      The reason I bring this up is because I was listening to WLAP 630...This morning and a caller called in and brought up Stansbury...It made alot of since to me...He is a great recruiter and He is second in the SEC since the year 2000 in wins against the SEC...Only behind Florida...He Understands UK basketball...Him being a KY native...He understands what is in store for him...I just feel this guy would bring Success...I could be wrong...Guys like Mitch were wrong and they are getting paid...Like I said this is just My opinion...

      Rick is also a Ky guy, played high school and college ball in Ky.

      He is 2nd tier, but ahead of Ford, IMO.

      2nd tier is very generous.

      I was told by my father that Rick told him he could not not coach at UK because of the pressure of the fans. A very good source. Trust me!

      I can believe that....Thanks for the Info....

      At the same time...I think Stansbury is the kind of guy that Salivettes on moving to that level and has run out of space...Just my opinion...

      He is not what they are willing to place their jobs on at this time.
      Good coach, not a "home run" though.

      Then who is a Home Run?...
      And just because they are a Top pick that doesn't mean anything until they prove it...

      I personally agree with the Admiral, I think this would be a great hire for UK.
