Seems a bit early to can Billy G, the guy has just about one recruiting class playing? At least UK went to the tourny last year, while Florida didn't.

This has to be false. According to DaKCMan, Florida is the best at everything and no one would ever leave that school.

Gillespie is gone all the same...

I did hear on ESPN that Billy G said they were "one fast guard" away....

.

What? You didn't even get in the tournament!

Well to be fair, their point guard this season was awful. He shouldn't be playing on any good team.

Patterson and Meeks were both All-SEC. UK should have made the tourney.

It was pretty funny watching the whiteboy play PG, defenders gave him an 8 foot halo anywhere on the court and he would NEVER shoot.

Donovan turned down millions in Orlando to stay in FLA. I doubt he leaves now.

Fritz88 · 03-27-2009, 02:01 PM

He is gone

The guy needs time although his firing is very justifiable.

EDIT: No it is not actually justifiable. I just realized he has been there only for two years. Screw UK.

They should also consider a new AD.

That is fair, but they're not a fast guard away. Meeks is really REALLY good. Patterson is solid, but you're not going to make a deep deep run with those guys. That and they are god awful on defense (the games I saw).

It should be noted that before he made that statement he was saying that he was "brought in to cut down some nets". I assume that's what he thinks this team is one fast guard away from.

I do acknowlege that it is too early to fire him. Especially at a high profile place like kentucky. You don't need to be scaring talent away by suggesting that you won't give them time.

That being said, I'm not convinced BG is a good coach. I don't know where he was before, but I haven't seen him field a good team without Acie Law III.

It's not the 1950's, any more you toothless, sour mash brewing ****s. Kentucky isn't entitled to have a great basketball team. It takes time and effort to build a winner.

**DaKCMan AP** · 03-27-2009, 02:15 PM

These rumors were around when Tubby was canned. Billy D is NOT going to Kentucky. Just dumb Cat fans wishing for it to happen.

Now a great hire for Kentucky would be to go after former Donovan assistant and current VCU coach Anthony Grant. I'd be upset if it happened, but it'd be great for UK.

I don't know why anyone takes that job now. Geez, 2 years? The guy never had a chance.
