^^^We all know how much you hate God but please can't you just leave religion and politics out of this hire!!! We just want the best BASKETBALL COACH.

My beef is not with God but with organized religion---any religion. I'm in awe of the Universe . I'm not in awe of Man's religion. I'm a very spiritual person and when I view wonders of the Universe like solar eclipses I definitely feel my connection to the Universe. Organized religion and spirituality are two totally different things.  Richard Dawkins explained why the Universe doesn't need intelligent design. And certainly, we can be in awe of our magnificent Universe without believing there was a Divine Creator.
The reason that religion was relevant to this UK hire is that Scott Drew is on record as saying that his most important job as coach is to lead his players to God, not winning basketball games. Nothing would make me happier than having a coach who is an anti-theist whose ONLY objective is to win basketball games. That would be ideal. Just win, baby!!! Leave the religiosity in the closet.


Let's go get Hurley or Donovan and give the new coach more money than any coach has ever gotten coaching basketball.

More than likely it’ll be Scott Drew.

And I'll join two Redhound coaches,   one current and one former, Tony Pietrowski and Rodney Woods, and root for the Big Orange over Drew's Blue.

Would Danny Hurley(or Billy Donovan)  turn down  $20 million/year for 10 years? I think not!  Offer it!  Hurley would be on a plane and in Lexington tomorrow.

I understand the dislike of organized religion, but 
when I  look at this beautiful world with all the vibrant colors of flowers and birds amongst way too many other names to list I know that this had to have been created by a great architect

Doesn't have to be intelligent design, imo,  but I am certainly fine with anyone looking at the Universe and believing that way. Religion, though...  man,  that is some toxic stuff. People kill each other because they believe their religion is right and another is wrong. I just despise it. The Universe is magnificent, except for human beings, who do everything they can to destroy the magnificence . If there was a designer, he should have stopped before humans. That was a failed design.

Scott Drew is pretty close with Mitch Bernhardt. He took a Baylor team that wasn’t good and turned them into national champions two years ago.

I’d be okay with Drew but he wouldn’t be my first choice. He’s my 3rd.

For me, get on the horn, offer Danny Hurley a deal and make him tell you no. Then offer the same thing to Billy Donovan and make him tell you no before offering it to Drew.

 I agree with you. And if Danny and Billy say no to $20 million a year(which they wouldn't), then offer it to Stevens, Wright, Few.  Drew would be way down my list. Other than the Naty season, he's been pretty pedestrian.

And the LORD was sorry that He had made man on the earth, and He was grieved in His heart.   There are lots  of great people in this world though. Look for the good and you will find  the good . I hope they get Billy D, Stevens or Wright. Barnhart needs to hit a homerun or go sit in a dugout somewhere else.
