Gillispie to be Kentucky coach

[the Talking Can]

it's being reported on ESPN right now


that is TERRIBLE NEWS for the Big 12

[the Talking Can]

they're saying he never signed the extension that A&M offered, had been waiting on Kentucky....

[Mecca]

Yea I was just about to post this......it's in the box on ESPN news....

All the Big 12 coaches are bolting for better jobs....

[the Talking Can]

i think he'll do a great job....the Big 12 has to start over again....does this mean A&M and KSU will fight over the same coaches now?

[teedubya]

this does suck.

[Mr. Plow]

Wow. That sucks bad for the Big 12. How many new coaches has the Big 12 had between last year and this year?

[Archie F. Swin]

that blows...he's from a little speck of a town some 70 miles south of here.

[BigRedChief]

Yea I was just about to post this......it's in the box on ESPN news....

All the Big 12 coaches are bolting for better jobs....
The Missouri Valley keeps it coaches and has a higher RPI than the Big 12.

The Big 12 is turning into a football conference.

[eazyb81]

Been a rough two days for the Big 12, but this should propel some of the mid-tier teams such as Mizzou, ISU, and possibly Baylor.

[kepp]

but this should propel some of the mid-tier teams such as Mizzou, ISU, and possibly Baylor.
Possibly. But I'd rather us (Mizzou) get better than everyone else going downhill. This is really bad for the conference.

[eazyb81]

Possibly. But I'd rather us (Mizzou) get better than everyone else going downhill. This is really bad for the conference.

Why can't both things happen?

I'm a Big 12 fan, but i'm a Mizzou fan first and foremost.

[Reerun_KC]

Wow, this is depressing... A&M was becoming a solid team and program in the big 12, I am sure Billy G will possible do well..

He will regret moving from a place where he was God, to a place if he doenst have a NC in 3 years they are going to be calling for his head...

Good luck Billy G, 3 years from now you will be looking for a obscure job just like Tubby...

[DJay23]

Good hire by UK. I think Gillispie can win it all (multiple times) at a powerhouse like Kentucky.

They gave Tubby eight years without even making the Final Four....they're not nearly as bad as you make them out to be - Tubby just sucked.

True, True....

[the Talking Can]

that's because he won a title

[eazyb81]

that's because he won a title

Yep, with Pitino's players.

[Codered]

Wow Gillispie just got a better job then his mentor. The Big 12 is slowly becoming the place where coaches spend a few years polishing up their resume for the big dogs.

So can you give examples?

[kepp]

Why can't both things happen?

I'm a Big 12 fan, but i'm a Mizzou fan first and foremost.
They can both happen and I'm confident that they'll continue to improve under Anderson. But Mizzou's improvement will likely be overshadowed by the other changes in the Big 12.

[Codered]

So can you give examples?

I guess if you haven't been paying attention...

Gillispie to Kentucky
Sampson to Indiana
Williams to North Carolina
Huggins to West Virginia

Self to Arkansas? (Okay that wasn't funny)

[the Talking Can]

Yep, with Pitino's players.

doesn't matter, the reason he got 8 years was because of the title...Gillespie won't get that kind of patience...

[ROYC75]

I guess if you haven't been paying attention...

Gillispie to Kentucky
Sampson to Indiana
Williams to North Carolina
Huggins to West Virginia

Self to Arkansas? (Okay that wasn't funny)

You make it sound worst than what it is.......

Gillispie is a solid move up ........
Sampson is minimal at best .....
Williams went home, it was only a move up to him, basically a lateral move.At best, easier recruiting off the east coast.
Huggins ....... see Williams to NC. At best a slight move up due to the Big East Conf. Alot of talented schools to compete against.

[eazyb81]

doesn't matter, the reason he got 8 years was because of the title...Gillespie won't get that kind of patience...

Maybe, but I also think he will get enough time to recruit the players he wants for his system. At UK you get your pick of the top players, so there really is no excuse for not winning big after a few years.

[Reerun_KC]

I guess if you haven't been paying attention...

Gillispie to Kentucky
Sampson to Indiana
Williams to North Carolina
Huggins to West Virginia

Self to Arkansas? (Okay that wasn't funny)

Oh I have been paying attention, but dont forget about Colorados coach Patten to when somewhere in FL?

Lets not forget Quin Snyder... He left for greener pastures...

What about the Nebraska coach, where did he go before Sadler came in? Or what ever his name is?

Gillispie to Kentucky - of Course Leaving A&M for Kentucky is a step up..
Sampson to Indiana - Was going to be fired at OU for major infractions - Indiana took a chance on him.. So he didnt bolt from the Big 12
Williams to North Carolina - Well no brainer here, Lateral move, only Move Roy would make..
Huggins to West Virginia - This is a step up from KSU? I guess if you are talking the battles of the NIT, then yeah it is a step up?

Not everyone is using the Big 12 for moves to elite teams..

[Skip Towne]

You make it sound worst than what it is.......

Gillispie is a solid move up ........
Sampson is minimal at best .....
Williams went home, it was only a move up to him, basically a lateral move.At best, easier recruiting off the east coast.
Higgins ....... see Williams to NC. At best a slight move up due to the Big East Conf. Alot of talented schools to compete against.
Sampson was facing NCAA trouble for making in excess of 500 illegal phone calls to recruits. He was basically run out of town.

[the Talking Can]

Maybe, but I also think he will get enough time to recruit the players he wants for his system. At UK you get your pick of the top players, so there really is no excuse for not winning big after a few years.

i agree....I think he'll be successful, he's a good recruiter just like Self and now he has a "name" to flash to recruits...he has strong ties in Texas...but regardless, he has 3 years to make some noise...some KU fans already are on the fence with Self....fair or not

[Codered]

I'm a big 12 fan myself... I know it sucks.. There is always an excuse for the move, but in the end they left a Big 12 school for another school.

[Reerun_KC]

[ROYC75]

Sampson was facing NCAA trouble for making in excess of 500 illegal phone calls to recruits. He was basically run out of town.

I know, I was giving him the benefit of doubt with the history of both schools........ Why I said minimal at best, IU is no easy place to recruit either due to all the other schools. For years, Knight had a grip on that but Knight left and IU has not been the same.

[Hootie]

well he's white...so they'll like him much more than Tubby.

[teedubya]

So I guess KU and Kentucky will have a yearly battle since Gillespie and Self are such good friends.

This is good because we need to win a few more against Kentucky.

Your right Kansas created this game, If you know anything, anything about basketball history you know that it all started where? Kansas.... Actually Dr. James was from Mass... But moved to Kansas to coach and start this game called basketball...

Look like Jokes on National TV when it counts? Dont you wish your team could be in that position every now an then to look like the so called "joke"?

Oh no wait, you would rather never go to the tourney and lose then to be compared to Kansas.. I am sorry I forgot...

Wow, turn your TV off when you post, it clouds your mind with reality.

KU's history runs as deep as any college program in the country. As many here has posted before I could respond to your blonde momment, one doesn't have to look very far to see what KU Basketball means to the college basketball as a whole.History, players, coaches, wins, just about anything you want to look at.

Many colleges have their defining moments with sports, KU's is always in the top 5 of college basketball programs across the country.


Now back to your movie, we don't want you to lose site of your destiny.

[RP_McMurphy]

True Tubby had two horrible teams these last two years and spent most of the summer recruiting season on the golf course.

They gave Tubby eight years without even making the Final Four....they're not nearly as bad as you make them out to be - Tubby just sucked.

[RP_McMurphy]

Tubby had a 94% approval rating in 2004.........he was popular then got lazy and got ran out of town.
well he's white...so they'll like him much more than Tubby.

No doubt KU has history. Yale has a very deep history in college football.
Care to tell me how you arrive at the conclusion KU is always top 5? Do you get those metrics from one of the polls or some other defnable source?

KU is definetely a top tier college hoops program but they are a level below NC when it comes to national championships and NCAA tourney performance. NC plays in a premier hoops conference that includes Duke. KU plays in a football conference. Outside of the fact you are a fan of KU how can you say the two programs are equal?

[vailpass]

Total all time wins: NC - 1914, KU - 1906

What are the W-L records over the past 15 years? What are their respective NCAA tournament records? How many national championships have each team won? What is the strength of each team's conference?

INCAA tourney records

Top 5 teams:

Kentucky 100-44 (49 years)
UCLA 94-34 (41 years)
North Carolina 92-38 (39 years)
Duke 85-28 (31 years)
Kansas 76-36 (36 years)

Final Four Appearances: (top 5)
17 - UCLA
16 - North Carolina
14 - Duke
13 - Kentucky
12 - Kansas

[carlos3652]

North Carolina and Kansas have been in two finals since 1990,

NC won in 93 vs Michigan and in 05 vs Illinois
Kansas lost both Finals to 91 Duke and 03 Syracuse

[carlos3652]

From 1990 to 1999 Kansas compiled a 286-60 record, the best win-loss record of any team in the decade. From 1994 to 1998, the Jayhawks won 62 consecutive home games at Allen Fieldhouse, which was the longest such streak in the NCAA at the time. The seniors of 1998 (Raef LaFrentz, Billy Thomas, and C.B. McGrath) went 58-0 at home during their KU careers.

[carlos3652]

18th consecutive appearance for the school in the NCAA TOurney and the 23nd in 24 years; Kansas missed out on the tourney in 1989 because of NCAA probation. KU ranks fourth in NCAA Tournament appearances, with 37.

Sorry Laz, facts are facts. Every basketball fan outside of KU land knows there are two programs at the pinnacle of college hoops over the last 10-15 years: NC & Duke. Everyone else is a level below.

No, they haven't established sustained excellence plus college BB is extremely watered down now compared to the teams of the 80s and 90s.
KU, NC, Duke, Georgetown and many other schools fielded teams in the era when players stayed 3 or 4 years that would wipe the floor with the Florida team.
Florida's collebe b-ball team is much like their baseball team: won a championship or two fair and square but far from being included among the elite as an overall program.

Sad but true. We only had one national champion this year and weren't even in the mix for the overall championship.
There are a lot of good young wrestling coaches out there now, some from the Gable tree included.
Parity is good for the sport but I miss the days when opponents were defeated the minute they saw Gable and his boys in black take the mat.

I'm a Huge Tubby fan and have always supported him. But the fans can expect a final four more than once every ten years. And with the returning players and the poor recruiting it looked like it would take another 5 years before we would be in a position to compete for a final four. And all of this is comming from a Kansas fan who would have been done with Bill Self had he lost in the second round this year. Get a life and form an opinion of your own. Or just paraphrase Andy Katz some more. I could care less.

WTF are you talking about?

I was wondering the same thing. Also that long armed mutant in his avvy freaks me out; I can never tell if that guy is supposed to be human or alien or just plain ugly.

The Missouri Valley keeps it coaches and has a higher RPI than the Big 12.

The Big 12 is turning into a football conference.

I love this board.

The Big 8/12 has always been a football conference. It always will be.

All the people here in Lexington seem to be very happy about the signing. I'm not sure, but I thought I saw that the Herald-Leader actually put out a supplement to their morning paper this afternoon running the story and offering highlights and comments from various people.

Although it is fricking snowing in this town tonight :cuss: :cuss: it seems to be a very happy place.
