    Not great X's and O's. He can definitely recruit, but the in game coaching just doesnt seem to be there.

    I guess of those mentioned, I wouldnt want Crean. Not a proven winner, not a proven recruiter.

    I am in the dark when it comes to Billy Gillespie. What has he ever done besides this past season to deserve a job like UK??

    I just know they finished no. 16 in the final coaches' poll. I'd take a 16 spot for UK basketball right now.

    He had perhaps the best college basketball player in 25 years on his team, along with all sorts of talent surrounding him, yet he didn't run a single play all season (seemingly) for Durant at a key moment. And yes, I saw Texas play about fifteen times this year (man-crush alert!) so I feel I'm qualified to say all of this.

    No thank you, Rick Barnes!

    I haven't really seen a coach I like. I didn't really like the sound of Donovan either, but at least he could have managed the situation immediately.

    Would you say Rick Barnes would be a quick fix type of guy ? You said it yourself, he had great players, big time recruits, I would have loved to had those kids at Kentucky this year.

    I'll give two, Barnes or Gillespie, who I believe will get the job.*

    *I have no sources telling me that thse two are the top choices. I'm just speculating.

    Not Pelphrey or Ford.

    I think Ford was about 2-12 against Lindsey Wilson's Hall of Fame Coach Steve Dodd while Ford was NAIA.


    Let's try Pitino again, Pat Riley, Few or Billy G.


    Steve Dodd over Ford!!

    I originally thought that, but I also really felt that Billy would be the next guy at Kentucky. I dont know what to think at this point.

    Pitino already said he was taking his name out before it started.

    Riley has said he would like to but does not want to recruit.

    I don't want Crean and I am not sure Pelphrey has enough head coaching experience for UK.
