Well , if it’s true ….. I love her ! I don’t give a damn where accurate information comes from .
It's not so much about the basketball but the quality of life. Left coasters are snobs because of their beautiful mountains and wide open spaces and such. Also much wealthier. Moving back east is almost like a step down to a 3rd world country to them.
Agree.. But that IS something Arizona has going for it over UK... Tuscon/Phoenix > Lexintong/Louisville. I'm sure some won't agree, but that's probably how the majority of the US feels.
I think a lot of coaches would rather be Bruce pearl...be a top 5 paid coach, be able to bring a couple 5 stars in every year, advance past the 2nd rd one time in a decade, have a few losing seasons, 64% win record, and never have to worry about any noise ever
Mitch didn’t reach out to anyone.
Someone on here had it right yesterday. Mitch was caught with his pants down.
He had said several weeks ago the mens and womens programs would be evaluated after the tourneys.
He knew the women had no shot and planned to let her go which he did forthwith.
He thot the men would at least get to the sweet 16 with a shot to go further. He was not thinking at all about getting rid of Cal.
The little propaganda video was his reaction to all the fan blowback which caught him asleep at the wheel. He had not and did not look for another coacjh.

I might be wrong...and if I am, please correct me...but, wasn't it Pilgrim that reported late last week about a group of UK donors (all not named Craft) who had a plan to buyout Calipari's contract? I know it was a subject beat to death here on this board but, I am not sure about the original source for that scenario. Pilgrim's name has popped up quite a bit over the last week.
As far as Barnhart is concerned, I don't think he ever seriously considered firing Calipari. And we all know what he thinks of UK fans (remember his microwave comment?) so, is he REALLY listening to us? Very doubtful.

If anything he went through back channels to see if the timing was right for Drew . If Drew just said he’d have to think about it, that was enough to scare Mitch .
Could be Lloyd.. Someone over weekend (maybe Pilgrim?) said there had been some back channel to him. He was interested, but not until next year.
This sounds very possible but, would Barnhart have spent the money to buyout Calipari? I mean, if it REALLY came down to it?
I don’t understand what you’re even trying to say . Over the years Ive had a lowly basketball manager, a lowly trainer on the football staff , and a father of a current basketball player tell me things (information if you will ) . I appreciate every bit of it . AND it was/is accurate.

Thats a good question. I’d say without a guarantee from the only coach he had considered, he didn’t even think about it. He had no appetite for a coaches search at this time .
It's my understanding Wright was put in a awkward situation on live TV when asked about the UK job if it was open. He did a remarkable job of dancing around the question then according to a couple people while off camera said it would be 1 place I can see myself re-entering the coaching ranks.
Then the story took a life of its own.

Hurley's comments? He just can't stop complaining about ****, hammering officials maybe worse than anyone I've ever seen. He's recently complaining about the transfer rule and doesn't think its right/fair/etc.. meanwhile two of his best players are transfers. Complaining about other coaches, complaining about fans,
I'll tell yah this, if we land him.. he better win and win asap.. we won't tolerate his nonsense as a fanbase, and other schools will surely loathe Kentucky even more with him as our coach (similar to how so many loathed Duke with Coach K's act). That's going to be a big problem for him going forward. Guy is a hothead for sure and strikes me as someone who wants and expects the game to just bend over for him, instead of earning it.
Edit: Saw just now, he's whining about his bracket and thinks it's too tough.
This ^ is soooo true and fans always seem to act like these scenarios are ridiculous. There are people that get info just because of WHO they are or WHERE they are. When my son went to UK he was a good friend of a manager. The manager saw / knew a lot of things. Some good, some bad, some just nothing at all. I don’t really know how these athletic programs hide as much as they do.
He’s the laziest AD in America he has to be ….. If he would’ve put in the work we could’ve had a good basketball coach for next season. I mean just look at all the hires this guy has made and the contracts he has given out….
Kerr is getting I think $17 million per year and his latter contract years will eventually rise to $30 million. But I don't know of any others making that kind of money.
what difference does it make now, or would have made? mitch already knew who was going to be coach next year.
i have never heard him... but this is always "the scoop" that is relayed back here
It makes absolutely no difference. I guess my nosiness just wants to know.
I’ve hit the big time my friend. If only I liked white claws I’d fit in awesome on here
Maybe because Flagg lives next door. That would certainly be a consideration for me so that mom and dad can see all the home games. JMHO.
People I'm confident have interest:
Jay Wright
Billy Donovan
Hurley
All the NBA coaches
Few
People I doubt have interest:
Lloyd.
I would guess it's from that list.
