All right maybe this isn't breaking news, but Kentucky is going to call a press conference to announce that Gillispie won't be returning to Lexington.Gillispie lead the Wildcats to the second-most loses in the programs 106-years as a program. Their 20 wins this year wasn't enough to get a NCAA tournament appearance since 1991, and they weren't eligible that year because of probation.
Gillispie's attitude in general lead to his downfall. He didn't exactly endure himself to the community. He had a high-profile run in with ESPN sideline reporter Jeannine Edwards. He was recruiting 8Th grade students.
His tenure in Lexington was a bizarre one to say the least.
The first candidate for the Kentucky job will be Florida coach Billy Donovan. He is the logical choice because of his ties to the program. It will be interesting to see you they will hire.
They screwed over Tubby Smith, now Billy gets screwed.
