Damn. I thought they'd give him another year. Wonder how UGA and Bama feel about this. UK is going to get their pick IMO.

Kentucky is a meat grinder, they might as well make a pitch for favorite Pitino again.

Gillespie can thank 1 person and 1 person only for getting him the job at Kentucky.
Acie Law
I wonder how much $$$$ Gillespie is gonna get outa this Firing? He might actually be happy about it. Still getting paid and not having any pressure.

This is what the report is based on. May or may not happen.

"I usually try to avoid speculating on jobs that are not vacant, but unfortunately that is part of the job. That said, I can tell you that all eyes in the college basketball world are on Lexington, Ky. While it may be hard to believe that the school would get rid of Billy Gillispie after two years, I am getting indications that athletic director Mitch Barnhart could very well be moving in that direction. There is a concern that if Gillispie comes back, many of his players will either turn pro or transfer. One well-placed source told me last week that the decision to remove Gillispie was already "done." I believe that was overstated, but Barnhart's relative silence on this matter has been deafening. I left a message for Barnhart over the weekend and my call was returned not by him, but by an athletic spokesman, who naturally told me Barnhart had no comment on the matter. If Barnhart thinks he can wait another few weeks until Kentucky is done playing to resolve this matter, he is sorely mistaken."

Pitino is the Steve Spurrier of basketball coaches. They are great as long as they have better talent. Put them in a place where all the talent is good and they suck. Spurrier in the NFL and Pitino in the NBA. Both rode out of town on a rail. Overated!
