Gillispie and UK settle

Given his recent troubles, this couldn't have worked out any better for Clyde. This should have happened long before a lawsuit was ever filed.

Really hope he gets his life straightened out and gets back into coaching.

Good luck to Gillispie. Hopefully he gets his life back on track and eventually gets another shot in coaching.

If BCG takes care of the personal issues, he'll have no problem finding employment.

Tom Penders and Pat Knight are a certificate of completion from a respected rehab center away from being unemployed if Clyde decides he wants one of those jobs.

If you were UT AD, would you hire him?

It would depend on who my other options were. I certainly wouldn't disqualify him for his personal troubles, provided he completes the steps he has begun taking.

So, how do you explain him going to the top basketball program in the nation that has essentially unlimited resources in recruiting and facilities and completely sucking. Now, granted, before you and Hat start saying, "well, he sure beat Tanning Bed.", he did beat us, but I would have thought at a program like Kentucky, if you were a great coach, you probably don't lose to teams like Gardner-Webb and VMI on your home floor and fail to make the NCAA tournament. Do you guys think that he should have just been given more time, or he just flat failed at UK?

His starting PG was Michael Porter.

The second season was an unmitigated disaster. The first year, he was a Patrick Patterson injury away from sharing the SEC title with a roster full of dreck.

I thought Crawford and Bradley, or at least one of them was a McDonald's All-American? And both were highly recruited, right? He had both of them and Meeks. Could you not explain having Michael Porter as PG in his second year as Gillespie failing to recruit someone better?

He did. Liggins did not live up to the hype...

1. Why would I give the first damn whether or not a guy was a McDonald's All American? Those guy proved by their production they were nothing more than decent players.
2. Meeks played that season with a hernia.

Couldn't you attribute that to poor evaluation of talent like you and Hat consistently do with Pearl?

I'm not sure I have ever commented on Pearl and his ability to evaluate talent. All I have ever said is that his teams play ZERO defense. And that's hard to debate...

If Clyde recruited a string of Mazes, Marques Johnsons, and Goins types, yes. His track record indicates he'd have been more likely to follow his mistake up with a Donald Sloan or a Filiberto Rivera.
