I go by the old saying believe none of what you hear and half of what you see. Some on here would be a lot better off with this advice. If you don't see it yourself and you just hear it from someone it is still rumor. No matter how reliable the source.

I like Coach BCG and until it is proven to me he has done wrong other then by hearsay I will keep on liking him.

 

Guys, this stuff isn't coming from someone at a bank who saw so and so....

 

This is coming from people who have dealt with the SITUATIONS DIRECTLY, 3 of the people who have told me about the situations I have known my entire life, just so happens they work in Lexington now....................

 

 

I am not blasting the guy, I'm giving you FACTS of why there is a contract situation.

 

 

As a matter of fact, I have talked/met BCG on more than one occasion. I like him, I think he is on the verge of becoming a GREAT coach and is a GREAT recruiter. I also knew about his problems before, but thought they were dealt with and figured he knew he would be under a microscope here at UK, especially with the history and tragedy that happened 8 or so years ago with the football team.

The 2 DUI's aren't a rumor.

 

I'm a UK fan, have been long enough to remember Macy transferring from Purdue and The Twin Towers being a front-court and not a horrible tragedy. That being said, UK fans drilling other coaches for getting A DUI but ignoring a guy with 2 because he can get good 18 year olds to come to Lexington is hypocrisy at its finest.

 

No rumor. No innuendo no witch hunt. Facts -- even Joe Friday would be okay with that.

If he can't get it together to keep one of the best jobs in college basketball he has a serious problem.

Bottom-line: UK panicked, hired a guy that could recruit (because that was knock on OTS), and are stuck with a guy with questionable (at best) character. Keep in mind, many UK fans on this site HAMMERED Huggins when he got his 1 DUI and threw around all sorts of platitudes and niceities about being a leader of men. However, UK went out and hired a guy with 2 DUI's and equal or worse off the court issues, and many UK fans want to defend him.

 

As I said in another thread, his off-the-court issues will catch up with him and it will lead to a very bitter and ugly Divorce from UK. Bet on that. While this fan base wants great recruiting classes and Final Fours, they also want someone to represent them well -- that ain't this guy; or at least it doesn't appear that he is.

 

In the Bengals thread last season, we found out that character does not matter and winning is that matter. You can have a person with questionable character if they are the one helping you winning.

 

I am glad to see the Wildcats modeling their commitment to winning after the Bengals.

 

BTW, how did that "character does not matter" mindset work for the Bengals?

Just to clarify, are those two DUI's while AS UK coach or before he got here?

Before he got here...

I go by the old saying where there's smoke, there's fire...

Golf clap.

That's not to say that he couldn't have already had one in Lexington.

The tone that I was getting from the thread was that he HAD had a DUI (that being an official one where a police officer actually arrests him and does not give him a ride home) while in Lex.

Nope. Not yet.

 

Probably should have. And I'll leave it at that.

I feel like I am reading a tabloid magazine in this thread. :lol::lol::lol::lol:

Don't you know that's how it works around here? Everyone but UK is fair game...

I'm sorry, but how can some of you not see anything wrong with the Head Coach of your basketball team partying with coeds (most likely intoxicated) into the wee hours of the night, especially when said coach has had DUI's previously?

 

Nothing good can come of Coach G. behaving this way. Period.
