March 28, 200917 yr "If I'm Mitch Barnhart, I'm on the phone all night long with one Robert Montgomery Knight. Are you kidding me? Can you imagine Mr. Knight at Kentucky with all those resources? I would hire Knight to coach for 6 seasons and hire Ford to be his assistant. Then, I would turn the program over to Ford."
March 28, 200917 yr Dick Vitale uses every opportunity possible to suck up to Knight. No way in hell that he would ever end up at Kentucky.
March 28, 200917 yr Author Dick Vitale uses every opportunity possible to suck up to Knight. No way in hell that he would ever end up at Kentucky. This thought was also mentioned on 4 separate radio shows tonight. They said you would get 3 things guaranteed with Knight: 1) you would win 2) you would have a clean program 3) you would see your kids turned into men They said Gillispie is a jerk and we now know that. We already know that Knight is a jerk, but he is also the greatest coach alive.
March 28, 200917 yr Exactly no way. Does no one care about our storied tradition, we don't need IU's tradition. Besides he would be a short term hire, very short term. Terribel idea for anyone to suggest. We would get laughed off of National TV.

I don't think we'd get laughed at at all. We would be the top program with the top coach (in many opinions).

A comment on #3, didn't BCG already try to do that and people are crying now that he worked the players too hard, I mean their mommys and daddys had to call in and complain about the amount of work BCG made them do, real mean I guess. Knight cannot coach in the 21st century, too much has changed and his philosophies could not be carried out.

I'm not going to say he is past his prime, and I know it is tough to win at Texas Tech, but after his last title at Indiana, they never really contended too often.
