The FANS are who makes this team what it is. They are the ones feeling the seats in Rupp Arena and they deserve more than what they have been paying for. If it were me on this team, I would be ashamed of the performance, and not want to bring the team down more than it already is. But as I said, its not the players fault so much as it is the sorry *** coach. If you people cant see that then you need to join him on his way out of here. As fans we should want more from our team and just the mediocrity we have been seeing since gillispie has been here. You are right, its the fans that ruin it for everyone else, but its fans like you that are willing to accept what is going on. I said it before and I will again, I never expected him to win a championship in his first few years, but ****, this man cant even win a conference championship let alone a game against Gardner Webb, San Diego, Houston, UAB, etc and so on. He is a joke and so are the fans that defend him to the death. UK and its real fans deserve more than this.

Listen man I am a fan from the outside looking in I support Nova and simply keep up with UK basketball. However, getting rid of him now would only hurt the program more in the long run. I can see why I Louisville fan would want to see him go because you know it would hurt them to. It would hurt in recruiting in not knowing what the future would hold with the coaching position. It yet again will set UK back 2 or 3 years, its not like the job is that attractive right now with all the FANS scrutny over every loss and the media frenzy. As someone who simply keeps up with UK basketball and not that much of a supporter you have to give the guy time to take the players he recruits, get them use to your system and to make something happen. I knew when they brought him in Kentucky was going to take their lumps. Did I think they would be more succesful then they have been sure I did. However, you must realize its not all coaching and the players are not buying into the system. Should BCG switch up the D you are darn right. However, its not all just that, you are not going to win many games when Kentucky shots the way they do. Only two players avg. in double figures all season. They only have one in side threat in Patterson which doesnt work well, Orton will be able to help out there. Porter is more of a shooting guard then a PG which will help with Valjorino (sp) coming in. This team is two missing links to be more succesful. Next season I look for V to start at the PG, Meeks if he stays at the 2 guard, Miller at SF then Orton and Pat on the inside. Porter will come in for Meeks at the SG, Harrelson will be then # 1 big man off the bench with Stevenson as the next one off the bench. Liggins will have to elevate his game in the off season as will Galloway and hopefully Kentucky can get another guard in the rotation for next season. It is a compelation of many things not just the coach. People simply look at it one way and find the easiest way to make an argument and that is that BCG does not know what he is doing. If he is not more succesful next season then sure I say give him the boot. But right now Kentucky need stability in their coaching position and needs the players to be more aware of THEIR mistakes as well. Its a team (coaches and players) not just a coach.
