March 27, 200917 yr Author I think John Calipari is the only coach that anyone in the second year of their job should be fired for. Thats not including people like Coach K who are set at a top program. Memphis is a top program now but it doesn't have the overall prestige of a UCLA, UNC, Duke, UCONN or UK. Cal is a good coach but his teams have lost two huge games in the past two tournaments by not being able to shoot free throws. What's up with that?
March 27, 200917 yr Hot off the presses...it's back again... http://www.whas11.com/justposted/stories/WHAS11_090326_Top_gillispie.74c3bf6f.html
March 27, 200917 yr I doubt that there have been any real LEAKS. Just because someone knows someone that has a sister whos stepfathers brother-in-law used to clean BCG's pool was told by the maids second aunt that got the information from her imprinsoned brother, does not constitute a leak. The leaks come from those sources then reported as fact on message boards. Joann Pitino was NOT in AZ looking for houses! I think I found the leaks............
March 27, 200917 yr I think what you are seeing is that UK will not classify this as a firing but a resignation. Then they can negotiate a buyout. The impasse of the contract and refusal to sign could result in a resignation...and kick a buyout into play. Just me thinking out loud there...that is why the firing stuff is shot down. Billy Donovan has a one month window from March 1 to April 1 to leave without a stiff buyout penalty. I didn't know this. This is great for us right now , just puts us short on time. I like BCG but Donovan is a proven winner. I'll take experience over a diamond in the rough anytime. I do think that BCG will be a great coach one day, once he is given another chance or stays atUK long enough. I am sitting in a position where I wouldn't mind BCG back next year. But Donovan is the better proven coach, has UK ties and just seems to fit right in to UK. I first of all don't agree with getting rid of BCG unless a Donovan, Pitiono or a Caliparie is interested in rolling into town on a Thursday evening. Kinda like replacing a new good player for a veteran, makes sense just hope that guy isn't a rookie MJ or someone like that. Just never know.
March 27, 200917 yr ^ Yeah NIT the last 2 years sure proves that. He's the product of one great class.

He has been to the NIT 2 straight years with what some feel is a better roster that what UK currently has................

His last 2 NIT performances have certainly proved he is a PROVEN Winner?????
March 27, 200917 yr His last 2 NIT performances have certainly proved he is a PROVEN Winner????? No, I was going by the 2 National Titles a couple years ago. Winning back to back titles proves your a winner right???:deadhorse:
March 27, 200917 yr ^ Yeah NIT the last 2 years sure proves that. He's the product of one great class. I agree:thumb: Although we know he can coach a little better than BCG... IMO he is a better x/o guy than BCG, but then again, so is close to half of NCAA Div 1.
March 27, 200917 yr No, I was going by the 2 National Titles a couple years ago. Winning back to back titles proves your a winner right???:deadhorse: Some say that was a once in a lifetime class, that chose to stay together.......
March 27, 200917 yr Some say that was a once in a lifetime class, that chose to stay together....... Yeah and some say he wears a Championship ring on each hand, but hey what I do know.
March 27, 200917 yr Author I don't care how good of a class you have, back-to-back national titles are very difficult, especially the 2nd one. BD can flat out coach and recruit.
March 27, 200917 yr I agree:thumb: Although we know he can coach a little better than BCG... IMO he is a better x/o guy than BCG, but then again, so is close to half of NCAA Div 1. How do you people come up with these crazy ideas like this??
March 27, 200917 yr How do you people come up with these crazy ideas like this?? We just watch the games.
