Gillispie Without Contract After Being Hired At Kentucky

**Beef** · 11-16-2007, 04:52 AM

UK and Coach Gillispie still have yet to agree to the terms of a contract with the Coach running the basketball program based on a "Memorandum of Understanding Offer." When will this contract be signed!?! Not that it really matters, I'm sure it will eventually.

Mitch Just said on the pregame show that there is a signed Memorandum but that the lawyers couldn't come to an agreement on the contract. So its all done.

I had no clue you could be coaching anywhere without a contract, seems like a big deal to me.

Well, the Memorandum is a contract so to speak. It outlines all of the terms of the contract such as pay, bonus, and such. The big problem is what is considered a "reasonable" cause for UK to fire Gillispie without paying him more money. The Coach's lawyer says that UK's conditions are too broad and he wants exact situations (such as Tubby had).
