re: If Kentucky is the Top Job In College Basketball

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?
