Battle said on Finebaum today that He wanted to announce that he was retaining Grant after January but Grant told him to hold off.

Yea, I think Grant was ready to move on. I'm not sure his heart was in it this whole season.

I'll tell you right now that that's not true.

I think he just felt overwhelmed the last 2 years.

Yeah, I liked Grant. I just don't think he was cut out to be a head coach. That's not a knock on him, very few people are.

@jeffborzello: Memphis transfer Nick King picked up offers from Alabama and Charlotte.

@BAMAMIXTAPE: There have been rumors about Kentucky reaching to Dazon Ingram and possibly coming down tomorrow. We'll see how that unfolds.

They must not feel as confident about Newman if they are looking at Ingram

I like Nick King's game a lot. He was used horribly in Memphis. Highly rated kid out of high school.

Maybe you meant HC at Bama...he could and probably will be a good coach for somebody else.

he is lazy and has no PR skills. Name me a power 5 conference that will give the MS of basketball a head coaching gig.

I don't think so.

But the man is gone. I wish him the best. All hail Coach Johnson.
