Gillispie is a JERK

Where is LIO when you need her? She is supposed to be checking my spelling. :)

I'm not implying anything. I'm simply reminding everyone it's best to have their own house in order before casting stones.

Whoa, whoa, whoa now...I'm the one who started this thread and I never said anything about what Pearl or Gillispie do on their own time. All I did was reference two recent situations where Billy Gillispie was seen on camera in a very unsportsmanlike manner. 1.) Ridiculing a female reporter on what was a very legit, insightful question. 2.) Not shaking the hand of a fellow SEC coach after a loss.

I went on to say that Pearl (from what I personally have seen) always treats the media and opposing coaches with respect. That's it...

I'm well aware that both Gillispie and Pearl have plenty of personal faults (as we ALL do). The events I'm speaking of happened directly on camera and in my opinion, really reflect bad on Gillispie and UK.

Funny how that doesn't say "Convicted" isn't it? How many parties has Billy Clyde thrown that an underage kid left drunk and then died in a wreck? Again, fanbases in glass houses...

Source for CBP's conviction of wrongdoing? If not, I'm seeing a double standard.

If you think the remedial piffle Janine Edwards tried to pass off as a question was "legit and insightful," that's all I need to know about you. Also, what the Hell does it matter that she's a woman? She chooses to interject herself into men's basketball, she's subject to be treated the same as anyone else.

If he hadn't cut the deal for reckless driving he'd have the DWI on his record. You know this and so do I. Not to mention it's not like he's only had one incident with drinking and driving.
I'm sure you base that assessment on your lengthy history of defending and/or prosecuting DUI cases. I'm actually not surprised you're the kind of rube who believes everything the police puts in an arrest report.

Come to Malone's in Lexington during happy hour. My cousin, who's a waitress, will be happy to point him out to you. :eek:k:
You mean the way any barmaid at Rooster's, Ray's ESG, The Copper Cellar on Cumberland, or the Downtown Grill and Brewery can direct you to Bruce's favorite tables??

I don't have anything against Pearl or Gillispie, but I will say that both of their programs should be performing at a higher level right now. They should be judged soley on their wins/losses and tourney performances.

To a large degree things like "morality" and "honest recruiting" are just imposed or projected on to coaches by fans to make us feel better about ourselves.

I'm frankly not a Billy G fan. You don't do those sorts of things at UK and get away with it these days. Kentucky fans expect 2 things: For the coach to be respectful/respected, and for them to win.

And you ignore the 2nd part of the post to call me another name. I do love how you stay on topic.

Bullcrap. If he was winning KY fans would be all over the media and they would tell Darin Horn to suck it up.

What happened to the charge in the other incident you're babbling about?

What's your point? People don't get picked up multiple times for DUI for no reason. I'll go my entire life without getting picked up on suspicion of DUI and he has more than 1 arrest on his record for it.

It was a legit question. If you have a problem with sideline reporters then that is a different subject. I personally dont like them. But, she was there, asked CBG a valid question and he was jerk about it. The show of class in the situation is this, even "IF" CBG thought it was a stupid question, he shouldnt have responded the way he did.

I think if he had it to do over again he certainly would have handled it differently, but I still say if he was winning in KY the people here would be all over said reporter. I just don't think it is as big a deal as talk radio in Lexington has made it out to be.

It probably isnt a bid deal in the grand scheme of things, however, as the title of the thread suggests, I think CBG is a jerk.

So we believe the police when it comes to Pearl and disregard them on BCG? I'm glad we're staying consistent.

If this is the Janine Edwards incident then it seems like much ado about nothing.

YouTube - Billy Gillispie Halftime Interview

I suppose he could have been a little more polite, but, yeah, it doesn't seem like much at all.

I agree with what LexVol said. I paid catspause a brief visit after they lost to Ole Miss, and they didn't seem to make a big deal out of the interview. After they lost again on Saturday, and he appeared to refuse to shake hands with Horn, angry catspause posters lumped the two incidents together.

As for all of the talk about Gillispie's alcohol use, my understanding is that it reached its peak in KY while they were really struggling in the first half of 2007-08. That talk started to go away up there when they made their turnaround and started to win more.

:good!:

FACT: At some point in their careers, ALL cops lie in police reports.

FACT: ALL cops lie in court.

I think this is spot-on.
 
I think it will be interesting to compare the first 4 years of each of these coaches at KY and UT respectively. Pearl has 2 Sweet 16s so far and 3 tourney appearances so far. I think that BCG may do as well as Pearl, but I don't see a Sweet 16 in year two.
