[OMG]

I'm not gonna talk about the game as much as the coach for U.K. Right now, Kentucky has 3 standout players, Patterson, Crawford, and Bradley. Stevenson is overachieveing right now and will not continue play like this for the rest of the season. It's basically a 3 on 5 game every night out, most of the people you see on the court right now, you won't see next year.

Next year, you already have two of the top players in the country committed and if you think you won't have the number one recruiting class then you're crazy. Billy G is one of the top 5 coaches in College Basketball, he took two down and out programs and made them contenders. He takes over a heralded club this year who is down. Not horrible, but very down. Anyone who says they won't buy into his system is not watching bery close as this is the best your two seniors have ever played. They do buy into his system, but you don't have enough players to run his style of play. And don't try to say change it, it's not the way he coaches. Be happy with your down year knowing you might actually be a legitimate contender next year. And Patterson will be around for a while, because Billy G doesn't recruit the players who are gonna have one great year and leave, he recruits guys he believes in and wants to build tradition with him.

Don't complain about your coach, be happy you have this coach. Be happy for the fact that in 2 years you may be the favorite for a National Title. He shouldn't change his style of play this year, because now he gets to see how everyone who isn't a senior is going to fit into it next year.

I just think it's sad that some, not all people rip a coach of this magnitude for the fact he can't win games when no coach are going to win as many games as fans wanted. You lost a few you shouldn't have talent wise, and you won a few you shouldn't have talent wise(Tenn, Vandy). Just take a bad year. Florida is rebuilding this year aswell as U.K., but i'm not ripping Billy D, and Billy G should be praised for the job he's done getting the full potential out of your seniors when most people thought that wasn't possible.

i agree with everything you said except for two issues.....number one....billy g is a good coach but saying is in the top 5 in the country is obsurd, he's hardly been around long enough to have that title and not accomplished hardly enough either, and ill name you five off the top of my head better...billy donovan, coach k, tom izzo, roy williams, rick pitino...just to name a few i could go on.....number 2....the reason people aren't bashing billy d. is because he just won back to back national championships, if he were in the same position as billy g. he would be hearing the exact same...
