For argument's sake, let's assume BCG bolts, do you....

Go first to Billy D and see if he would reconsider.

 

I would do so very quietly behind the scenes.

 

Didn't Roy Williams turn down UNC a few years before he eventually went there?

[HammerTime]

I would do it quietly but if he wanted to I would take him in a second. UK doesn't do anything quietly. :lol:

[ColonelCrazy]

Billy Donovan would be the best choice, once again, for the University of Kentucky. I think you'd have to put some feelers out and at least see if there is any interest. If not, no big deal. Why not see if one of the top coaches in college basketball would come?

 

But, I think John Pelphrey will be the next coach at Kentucky. And, if I had to guess, it'll be in somewhere between 6-8 years in the future.

[DADDY CAT]

I would guess JP also. Ricky P has been mending fences, though.

Here we go with this mythical magical connection between Billy and UK. It's not there guys, move on.

 

If BG does move on, I think the best guy to make a run at would be Sean Miller. Look what happened last time you brought in an 'East Coast Guy'

[Chenoweth]

Seems like Lute Olson turned us down several times.

 

You will never get what you want if you don't ask.

 

I have no interest in Miller at KY.

Wanting to make a run at one of the best young coaches in the game that is a protege of one of the best runs in UK history is some sort of mythical magical connection???

 

Seems more like a very logical and rational decision to make a run at a young coach that has recently won back-to-back championships.

You misunderstood me.

[ladiesbballcoach]

You misunderstood me.

 

Are you Hillary Clinton??? You misspoke?

 

Seriously, what did you mean?

[LRCW]

No, I go after Sean Miller or Anthony Grant.

BRING BACK TUBBY

[big royal daddy]

Since we're all playin devil's advocate here and playing AD let's go and use the power and money and connections that go along with being UK and very quietly send outa feeler for Self and Howland first and when they say "No Thanks" here is your short list:

1. Donovan

2. Calipari

3. Barnes

4. Miller

:laugh:No, I mean that everyone assumes that since Billy was an assistant for 3 years at UK that he has this deep rooted love for Lexington or UK and that is just not the case.

 

It started a long time ago, with the ridiculous rumor that there was a UK clause in his Florida contract.

:thumb: Ditto. I am just not sold on that guy either.

The first 3 already told you no just a year ago.

 

I agree it wouldn't hurt to ask, only leaves one.
