Rumors, Rumors, Rumors…

Bye bye Billy G? Two years, a missed NCAA appearance, and lack of personality appears to have Kentucky’s second year head men headed out of Lexington with an overall 40-27 record.

Billy GIllispie’s relationship with fans, media, and boosters was strained from the very beginning. This Texas man was hard to read, hard to approach, and hard to get a read on. He was a man of his convictions, going through full length practices on game days, and blowing off national media halfimte interviewers—Jeanine Edwards. The embarrassments and hard headedness has his bags packing and the University has just sent out a press release---

There will be a 4:30 Press Conference announcing a new head coach for the winningest program in basketball. The rumor mill has been churning for quite some time about who exactly will be the new coach.

Names of John Calapari from Memphis, Tom Izzo of Michigan State, and a hopeful Rick Pitino of Louisville. But all these were mere names, as the announcement takes place today, the coach has to be out of the season….

So, early indications are the the Wildcats have nabbed the man they wanted two years ago. Billy Donavan of the Florida Gators appears to be the next head coach. But this is merely speculation.

The announcement takes place today at 4:30 pm.
