The State of UK Men’s Basketball
January 21, 2008
I confess, I’ve been slow to welcome Billy Gillispie. It’s nothing against him as a person or a coach. I don’t think he’s lacking in either area.
My attitude was the result of absolutely, positively adoring everything about Tubby Smith. Okay, maybe not his offense, but everything else. I still think Coach Smith was one or two assistant coach changes away from more another run at the championship. People in my own household argue with me about that, so don’t feel bad if you don’t agree. I think Tubby and Donna Smith and their family are about as classy as it gets. People like that are the reason the phrase “good people” was ever created.
