Either a health issue, personal issue....or maybe he wants that one chance in the NBA?? Weird for sure. There's not a lot of class in college hoops. There's less now. 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was pulling for them this year. Definitely seemed to run a good program the “Wright” way….and for many years a fun offensive system with the movement and bigs shooting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cal hasn't won a tourney game in 3 years so I'm not putting them in any F4's anytime soon. I just think Calipari and the stress of that job has 1-2 years more max. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some of my UK friends think he only cares about who he puts in the draft, rather than postseason success. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of course, it could be that because his post-season success is much diminished that he has to emphasize who he puts in the draft. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know 2 UK guys. Both have wanted him gone for 4 years. The last 3 haven't helped...especially with Tennessee, Auburn, and now Arkansas having more success. Problem for me is I hope and pray that Walmart and every Perdue Chicken heir ponies up or Eric M is going to be in Lexington in a few years. That could be scary.

Would going to UK even be enough of a step up to make it worthwhile at this point? He's getting whoever he wants at Arkansas and is under way less pressure to perform there. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he’s from Lexington so that’s probably one and only dream job territory for him. The question is whether it would be mutual.

I think the best shot anyone had at luring Billy back to college was us, and that was timing as much as anything with KD having left OKC. At this point Billy has established he is a very good NBA coach and I don’t see him walking from that. Jay Wright to UK… not happening. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
