I heard Kentucky fans have narrowed it down to 4 candidates Adolph Rupp, John Wooden, Phil Jackson and Jesus.

Cross off the Lord, because he would turn the other cheek rather than beat teams 101-40. Rupp, as all opposing fans know, was a racist, so scratch him off as a candidate. Wooden is beyond UK's mandatory retirement law. Jackson is an NBA guy. Oh, wait. Coach Piteener came from the NBA too. Maybe we should call Jackson.

Basically, it says that BCG burned too many bridges. If you're gonna be a jerk, you better produce, or it's hard to justify why we keep you around.

That's part of the rub. If you aren't going to get along with the people who make the decisions about your employment, you had better produce enough to make yourself indespensible.

Nice guy + winning = stadium named for you
Jerk + winning = statue outside the arena
Nice guy + losing = some brief period of latitude
Jerk + losing = unemployed

All 4 of these already said no.


HOWEVER, my SOURCES tell me that Joe B. Hall and Ex Louisville coach Denny Crumb will leave their radio show to CO-COACH the Kentucky basketball team. Crum does the offense and Joe B does the defense.

I'm still struggling to figure out how not sucking up to clueless sideline reporters, parasite boosters, and the Harry High Schools of the world equates to being a jerk.

I was seriously hoping to see a sideline reporter choke-slammed so that the NCAA would make all halftime on-court interviews a no-no....

I was thinking more along the lines of getting along with your boss.

I'm not the biggest Mark Story fan, but this quote from his article previously posted pretty well sums up what I'm trying to say:

But if you are going to be the "difficult one," you better darned well produce at a level that justifies how hard it is to put up with you.

This is going to severely set back Kentucky's program even more. Does anybody know what time there is going to be a press conference regarding the decision?

For as much crap as the University of Tennessee received publicly when Fulmer was first fired for firing someone with so much success over the years, Kentucky Basketball has taken that to a new level of never being satisfied with the whole Tubby Smith saga and now this BCG whirlwind.

Does anybody know if there is any site that is going to have a live feed of the announcement?
