Heres what I would do. John Calipari built UMass into a nice program the time he was there, found out that coaching in the NBA was a joke, and has built Memphis into a powerhouse. He is a GREAT recruiter, plays the style of ball that every UK fan has missed since the Pitino days, and is steadily good each and every year. His teams reload. He has done everything but win a championship, and he's done it at two programs that werent known for their basketball tradition. If a guy like Calipari comes to UK, he'll be granted the challenge of rebuilding our tradition. I think he's up for it. I honestely believe that he wont be in over his head like Gillispie, and is the guy that will lead our program back to prominence (sp?)..so I would ask him to name his price and bring him to Lexington, which is a much nicer city than Memphis anyways, lol..

I don't think UK would put their program in the hands of a coach that had to leave U-Mass because of the problems they had while he was there. He elected to take a job in the Pro's instead of being sanctioned by the NCAA after the 96 season.
UK can't afford to allow someone who is dirty to come in and run this program.
