Im with ya theVILLE, dont let these idiotic uk fans get to ya, they just cant get over Pitino leaving them for a better gig. Sure he failed, but at least he tried coaching in the NBA. He could have succeeded but he was stuck with a prima donna in Antoine Walker that thought he was bigger than the Celtics. Pitino realized his mistake and went back to what he does best, coaching the college kids, and he has done very well for himself at Louisville, sure it took him a couple years, but thats ok, hes still one of the best coach's going today. Again, congrats to Louisville and Rick on winning the Big East conference and tournament championship, and good luck to them in the NCAA, I'll be pulling for them all the way.

I agree with this post, UK has gotten away from what the UK style of basketball was. Whenever UK was on top 96-98 they played like Duke does now, they could shoot the ball, the hustled after the ball, they always had movement in the offense. After watching UKplay LSU, I was disgusted...they had no movement on offense what so ever. Harris stood over in the corner the entire game, he is absolutley horrible. What UK needs to do is get a coach that knows what UK basketball tradition is, I for one would love to have Travis Ford or John Pelphrey as the coach. I honestly just think that Gillespie can't coach. People say that UK fans have to high of expectations, but now all we want is to make the NCAA tournament.

Best I've read in a long time...............................................................................................................

So Lee Todd says that Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart will sit down with head basketball coach Billy Gillispie at the end of the season and then report back to the president on the status of the program.
If I could sit in on either meeting, I'd have just one piece of advice:
If you're Kentucky, be KENTUCKY!
That means:
1. Sign the contract. If Billy Gillispie is to remain as coach, he needs to sign the formal contract. Barnhart should demand it. Now.
I know, some say the contract is a non-issue considering there is a memorandum of understanding between the two parties. They're wrong. It's a symbolic issue, and an important one.
This is Kentucky basketball, after all. Either Gillispie wants to coach at Kentucky under the terms of a formal contract, or he doesn't. If he doesn't, there are plenty more coaches out there who would gladly take the pen.
2. Quit talking about softening the schedule. The schedule is too soft now. Stats whiz Ken Pomeroy ranked UK's non-conference schedule 243rd in the nation this season. True, Indiana's rare rock-bottom season didn't help. But there are too many Longwoods, Delaware States, Lamars, Mississippi Valleys and Florida Atlantics on the slate.
The excuse I hear from the Craft Center is they need a schedule that helps teach the kids how to win. Please. This is Kentucky. The kids should come here knowing how to win.
3. Stop discounting Kentucky kids. That doesn't mean the roster should be filled with nothing but in-state players. But while not a single UK player made the All-SEC Freshman Team, Bryan Station product Shelvin Mack was averaging 11.7 points and 3.5 assists per game as a freshman at Butler. Steffphon Pettigrew, a sophomore from Elizabethtown, was averaging 12.7 points and 5.1 rebounds at Western Kentucky. I'm just saying.
4. Respect the uniform. If a player refuses to come into the game, he shouldn't be playing 27 minutes the next night. If a player quits the team in a huff â if that's truly what happened â should he really be in at a key time of the next game?
And, by the way, we're all tired of the Bob Knight-era mind games, of the rumors about lockers being emptied and nameplates removed, of rumors about whether so-and-so was allowed to ride home on the team bus.
5. Take better care of your former players. If you think the current players aren't happy, talk to the former ones. Most say all they feel is a cold shoulder.
They lost their one connection to the basketball office when longtime secretary Marta McMackin was transferred, then retired. That's one reason why players such as Mike Casey, Kenny Walker and Jay Shidler have spoken out publicly about the problems at the Craft Center.
And when was the last time UK retired a jersey at Rupp, anyway?
6. Remember what you represent. Don't be boorish in halftime TV interviews or post-game radio shows. Don't accept ESPN's request for an all-access feature, then limit the access. Don't ignore boosters who travel on trips.
Don't tell a media member who is trying to give you a compliment â as a Florida writer did by remarking that UK took the Gators' Nick Calathes out of the game â that he doesn't know how basketball should be played. Is that too much to ask?
7. No more one-man committee. Under most circumstances a coach deserves more than two years in a job, but if Barnhart and Todd honestly believe the situation has become untenable, so be it. But next time, no more one-man search committee.
This state, this university, this fan base has plenty of knowledgeable minds about the game of basketball who would love to help with the process. This time, I'd use some of that brainpower.
After all, I'm guessing that the Billy G. Kentucky basketball has (so far) is not quite the Billy G. it expected.
That can't happen again

Still think we as a "Universit" isn't acting like University of Kentucky when it comes to sports.
