KY fires b-ball coach

there are also rumors, and yes I said rumors, or borderline abusive treatment towards the players. I can't verify the accuracy, but if true, this guy is going to have a hard time finding work.
After hearing Barnhart, on a few occassions, mention the well-being of the student-athletes, well.....that would make sense.
Problem for UK though is that to the bball world it looks like the crazy fans ran off a 20+ win coach, when that looks to not be the case.

Yes they are flying. Halftime of the ND game, Billie G told Meeks not to leave the locker room. Apparently an assistant coach went to get him.

Heard that Travis Ford is not a so-called blue-blood, so I think he's way down the list.

Calipari to UK is pretty much a done deal.

There will soon be three Italian guys in all of Ky- Pitino, Calipari, and me.

Still no word.

If this falls through then Lee Todd and Mitch Barnhart need to be removed.

Memphis is fighting hard. Heard Pitino hates Calipari so much that if Calipari takes the KY Jelly job, then Pitino would explore Zona. But thats from the nutcases and Bilas.

If that even had a hint of truth than PLEASE TAKE THE JOB IN KY CALIPARI!!

Though it would not make sense to me for Pitino to leave Louisville because Calipari takes the Kentucky Job... how do they relate with the exception of both being located in the same state?

This whole thing is affecting tons of top recruits as well as coaching changes. Mike Anderson is being floated for the Memphis job. Memphis had by far the top recruiting class in the country next season, and those guys may end up having to re-commit. Lance Stephenson has also delayed his announcement (again) because Kansas, his probable destination, may be able to use a scholarship on one of the guys Memphis would lose (Wall, Henry, Cousins), meaning Lance would have to go to either Maryland or St. John's.
