Can you blame us? It seems like everyone and their brother has a connection to the UK program. I've heard soooo many rumors over the past 10 days and none of them are probably true. It's nothing personal but I don't believe anything without some kind of verification or sources.

 

Until I see a press conference with Billy stating that he is the new UK coach, I won't believe it.

My source regarding this thread was Bret Bearup.

 

Another call I got tonight reinforced it.

Him not going to UK does not mean Pitino was telling him not to go there...

Darth Vader strikes again!:sssh:

Pitino used pretty stern words and evidence in his mind.

Any clue as to what he said?

Him not going to UK does not mean Pitino was telling him not to go there...

I don't think many people realize how powerful Pitino is in todays game...

Honestly, he may have just been looking out for him.

Bottom line he didnt want to compete against him at UK.

He may have mellowed but he still has an ego.

Only one of those two can go in the same post...

About 3/4 of the way down...you see evidence of Pitino advising him not to go.

However, that was not how he said it.

Surely Pitino didn't advise him to go to the NBA.

Pitino would not steer Billy D. wrong. He is a better man than that. IMO.

I think what was said was if you HAVE to go pro, this is the situation you should go for.
