You have been here long enough to realize what happened last year is considered living in the past. So what happened in the1950’s is living in the Paleozoic Era. Kentucky is the best college basketball program of all time. But like fellow top five program UCLA, much of that is built upon a foundation constructed over 50 years ago.
So your answer as to why they are the top job today is that they are the top program all time? If so, fair enough. You could have just said that.
My point was that if Kentucky really is the top job, why have they not hired more established big name coaches their last three hires. Instead, Kentucky hired a a coach that was previously at Tulsa and Georgia, then one that was at UTEP and Texas A&M, and then one that was at UMass and Memphis. They had all shown success; but not at top level schools with all the bright lights, added pressure, and additional demands of a Kentucky.
Why does Kentucky not hire an established successful coach from another top 10 program who has proven they can succeed on a comparable stage?

Probably for the same reason that Alabama football didn't.
