our AD decided to retain him.

I'm going to do something here I rarely do. Give Barnhart credit. He sort of forced this by telling Cal things were going to change in how the basketball dept was ran at UK. Knowing that Cal's ego could not handle that and he would leave. Saved us $33M and we get what the majority of the fanbase obviously wanted.

Barnhart played 4D chess, and didn't blink and ultimately won.

As I said previously, this works for Cal too. He gets chicken money and has a chance to salvage his legacy if he can get some March wins in Little Rock. Win/win for both teams. We win more though.
