December 16, 200817 yr What's the point of this?? I stopped reading when it said Gillispie has not been a part of doing much charity work...Silly post.
December 16, 200817 yr I think they will be ok, they have a nice class coming in next year. We knew from the start he wasn't a very good in game coach, better get used to that.
December 16, 200817 yr Author The purpose of the post is to express that there is more that goes into college basketball, especially at the University of Kentucky. Public relations is key to winning over a fan base that will scrutinize your every move. I for one agree that basketball at the collegiate level should be about coaching and teaching players. However, there is a subtle obligation to relate to fans and the community. What's the point of this?? I stopped reading when it said Gillispie has not been a part of doing much charity work...Silly post.
December 16, 200817 yr This is why I often felt uncomfortable scouting games. I didn't see any of that from watching that game.:confused:
December 16, 200817 yr Give BCG a break... He can't make chicken salad out of... Let's see, what is the rest of that old saying? :lol: Its too early to label him a bad hire, IMO. Let him get a season with his own players on the court and we'll judge the hire then.

As far as the fans and Coach G., I believe he is very fan friendly, I watched him sign autographs and take photos during halftime of the Holmes, Scott Co. game Sunday until play resumed. Again, Pitino is gone, move on.
December 16, 200817 yr Coach G has been very generous to local charities and has been very respectful every time I have seen the man in public.

Wasn't it Coach G that was listening to a "buy a dog sell a hog" type show in a tiny town in Central KY and ended up buying a person a car or something?

I know he heard a story about a woman who was trying to pay for a funeral for her dad or something and he sent her a check to pay for it. Then there was this...
