The father of UK's leading scorer, Jodie Meeks, welcomed the news of Gillispie's departure.

"It clearly didn't look like it was working," Orestes Meeks said.
The elder Meeks suggested that Gillispie made it difficult for UK to maximize its potential.

"You don't want to throw gasoline on the flames, but, clearly, a lot of things happened behind the scenes that made it difficult for the kids to play basketball and focus on winning," the elder Meeks said.
