As much as we didn’t like him as UK fans, he’s still the General and awesome coach. RIP
He always had a unique perspective as suggested by the following quote. Glad he was went back to IU before he passed. Living in Indiana I know this is going to hit many people here very hard.
“When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ***!”

Great basketball mind for sure, also a first class A-hole.....As much as we didn’t like him as UK fans, he’s still the General and awesome coach. RIP
A very worthy adversary and a great coach. RIP.
Rest n peace he always got the best out of his players
Shouldn't you be watching "Blue's Clues" or something similar?
That's right you're the one that suggests I waste my life away smoking dope. When your hero (avatar) is a raging alcoholic and dope smoker...

My Moma taught me if I didn’t have anything nice to say about a guy…..
Only thing I ever enjoyed about him was his "gameface" clip. Only wish we had kicked his butt more.
Not to kick a man who died but he was 15-18.
Let’s all throw a chair in his honor.
We did. He was a character. And controversial.
And as much as we didn’t like him. He was still someone’s grandfather and dad.
Prayers for his family, his friends, colleagues and former players.
One of the best we loved to hate him and he loved that we hated him.As much as we didn’t like him as UK fans, he’s still the General and awesome coach. RIP
At the end of the day he was one heck of a coach. May he rest in peace.
I don’t think he ever cheated and he graduated his players. Despite his anger issues he did have positive attributes. RIP to a legend.
Who now becomes the biggest living ******* is sports?
We arguably took part of his soul away. The 1975 loss still haunted him years after the fact. Sorta like Cal and 2015.
Father Time forgets no one. Those of us who grew up watching him coach at Indiana know that a legend is gone. Time is running short for all of us 
In an effort to say something nice about him I’ll note that he had a 43 percent winning percentage against Kentucky which might be his most impressive coaching credential.
Also, while he competed against several Kentucky coaches he only sucker punched one in the back of the head before running away. I guess that’s better than he treated his own players.

Won't shed a single tear. He can f off.
Really, the positive attributes were even more than not cheating and graduating players.
Most people would be surprised at how generous and thoughtful he could be - because he was simultaneously (and more publicly) one of the world’s great a-holes.
And despite the rivalry, he had some great relationships with the likes of Cawood Ledford, Joe B. Hall, and especially CM Newton (who was one of his closest friends in coaching and an assistant on the ‘84 Olympic team).
