Seems as if the college sports world is enthralled once again with Kentucky basketball. I think the whole "will they fire him, will they keep him" deal is a conspiracy, wrapped in an enigma to keep Kentucky hoops on the forefront of the national headlines amidst the biggest sports spectacle in America (in which they are NOT a participant of). But, I digress.
I'm a biased supporter of Billy Gillespie. That being said, he didn't win enough games the last two years to keep the Bluegrass faithful happy. His team doesn't play as a team. Could that be because his style is such a contrast to the former coach's regime? Perhaps. That program was on the decline - sorry Kentucky fans. You just can't get the cream of the crop on name alone anymore.
I'm only writing this because I've heard / read / etc. several names pop up as possible replacements. Other than Billy Donovan, who do you want? No, no, no....Coach Cal can't do what he's done at Memphis and UMass at Kentucky. The SEC is a different animal. Those who disagree with me will say that the SEC is the weakest BCS basketball conference....2 of the last 3 National Champs out of your conference, and its weak? No, I'm talking about the caliber of student athlete Calipari can get into Kentucky. With an emphasis on STUDENT. Any thoughts?
