Where was he going to put him on his full staff? Barbee and Justus filled the spots
Is there a rule on how many assistants you can have associated with a basketball program???
you're right. we're clean, everyone else is dirty. Every top 10 player we've gotten didn't want a thing and every top 10 player that goes elsewhere is a dirty, rotten, scoundrel. I wish I could live in that reality with you.
Seems like the pictures with Pitino's staff while at Ky there were a ton. Tubby, Billy D just to name a few, but seemed like a lot. Not sure this is the photo I'm thinking of.

Right, but I don't think this was the pic I was thinking of. Wasn't Tubby and Billy D assistants at the same time? Who were all the assistants on that team if so?
Man those were some staffs. Even when we had Rod it was pretty good. I just think like most on here we need a shake up with the staff. Barbee is only here because he played for Cal and got fired from AUB I believe. We need some new blood on the staff. A recruiting manager like I have seen mentioned would be cool too. We just need a face these younger kids can relate to and talk NBA futures with. Or a up and coming young coach like a Billy D was for Pitino. Just seems like it's time for a change after losing Rod, Slice and O.
And this is exactly why I've been saying for a couple years now that we need Coach O back in the worst way.
Oh listen, I'm 100% with you. I think we payed for almost all the elite players we got the first 5-6 years. And I know you probably realize what that means but just to clarify for the obtuse posters I don't mean UK payed them duffel bags full of cash. I think in some cases we give players money on campus but I think it's agents/handlers/ and shoe companies and O was our liaison to them and made sure the money went to the right places. Hell, at Memphis(I'm not going to look up the name of the prep but if you don't believe me you can) Tony Barbee then O sent all these kids they were recruiting to the same shady prep school to get them eligible when they would of never been able to get eligible other wise. Actually, I just remembered the name it's Laurinburg Prep. Antonio Anderson, Shawne Williams, Joey Dorsey, Robert Dozier, all went there and there was plenty more I just can't think of off the top of my head. I think it's highly probably the 200k for AD was a real thing and a lot of people who know AD's father do too. He was worth every penny and more.
i have made this exact statement and been told i am a "troll" and i am not a UK fan just because i am not naive and bury my head in the sand. I honestly am not looking forward to the Nike trial later this year. Just like new unknown info came out in the Adidas trial, i am certain some will in the Nike trial also. I just hope we avoid it.
This is likely the case. I don't think Cal approached him because there isn't a vacancy right now.
If Cal had really wanted O back, there would have been a vacancy. But, Cal is loyal to a fault, especially to the guys he has hired. Might end up costing him down the road.
Omg. I can’t believe my eyes.... miracle7 with a negative take and accusing UK of cheating.
Because Miracle7s is a Duke fan pretending to be a UK fan. Him calling out Cal is his way of justifying Nike sending Duke all these players recently. He's going the everyone does it route like UNC fans during their academic scandal.
