hoopboy Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Allen Cutler just reported it on 18. Said tonight was going to be his last game. Said Lee Todd fired him. He also said that Seth Davis reported it. Did anyone else see this?
gametime Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 This is from the last article by Davis... I usually try to avoid speculating on jobs that are not vacant, but unfortunately that is part of the job. That said, I can tell you that all eyes in the college basketball world are on Lexington, Ky. While it may be hard to believe that the school would get rid of Billy Gillispie after two years, I am getting indications that athletic director Mitch Barnhart could very well be moving in that direction. There is a concern that if Gillispie comes back, many of his players will either turn pro or transfer. One well-placed source told me last week that the decision to remove Gillispie was already "done." I believe that was overstated, but Barnhart's relative silence on this matter has been deafening. I left a message for Barnhart over the weekend and my call was returned not by him, but by an athletic spokesman, who naturally told me Barnhart had no comment on the matter. If Barnhart thinks he can wait another few weeks until Kentucky is done playing to resolve this matter, he is sorely mistaken. http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/seth_davis/03/17/hoop.thoughts/2.html
TubbyCAT Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 I saw the Seth Davis article that he wrote today saying that a source close to the program said to him it was a "done deal" already and BCG was going to be let go! It is going to be very interesting, but I would find it hard to beleive they would do this before the game tonight!
DADDY CAT Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Everything has been done strange this year. IF he's gone, why would they do anything normal at this point? Nothing would suprise me right now..... (EXCEPT RP or BD coming to Lexington!)
coldweatherfan Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 If they win tonight do they wait to announce it.
BigBlueFreak Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Did anyone else see this? I looked on their website and didn't see anything. I'm not surprised but I'm surprised that if it is true they leaked it before UK was out of the NIT.
Hatz Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 If they win tonight do they wait to announce it. I wonder if they will just go ahead and do it after this game irregardless of what happens. I think the problems are not just the season results. I think the way he's handled the pressure and the way the wheels came off, coupled with his earlier outside events may have led the powers to conclude the time had come now. If it is true, will UK be smart enough this time to take their time and talk to coaches after the tourney so they will have a larger field of possibilites? I hope so.
ADopted ADmiral Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Watching 18 news right now Cutler talking right now... Nothing to report...Just Rumors...
ADopted ADmiral Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 How does Davis Know this?When no one In Ky knows this...
HammerTime Posted March 17, 2009 Posted March 17, 2009 Just like Billy D had some money sent to him blah blah blah. I don't buy it.
