The same people that did not give Tubby credit for the 98 title with Pitino's players can't just give Billy credit for the Sweet 16 with some other coaches players. If you look at it this way, Billy Gillispie and HIS players have won EXACTLY ZERO games in the NCAA tourney. Still never won anything and never will. Hope he brings that run and gun, man to man pressure defense, 94 feet of furious action to the Big Blue Nation and we will still go 20-10 and get booted out in the second round of the NCAA, which means..................we got nothing but big huge black eyes for showing our A$$E$ and out lack of class at how Tubby was treated.
He hasn't been anywhere long enough to win with his players completely (some of the guys on his last - and BEST - A&M team were recruited by him), but he DID bring in a 5 star recruit that would have played next year. He also recruited most of those star players at Illinois that went to the final 4 a few years ago.

Tubby was a great person, but there's no denying that these last 2 years were the worst non-probation years ever at KY and next year was definitely going to be worse.

This guy brings a refreshing bunch of energy into the program, and I'm looking forward to seeing what he can do.
