Parker is dead on in his assessment(sp). It may take another 3 first round exits from the NCAA tourney and a couple of NIT appearances before the Louisville Brass grows a set and sends him packing. But, Ricky P lost it a couple of years ago when his team did not come to play against California in the first round of the NCAA and he has yet to get it back. By the way, his nomination to the Basketball Hall of Fame is a joke. If he wins in 1997 then stays at UK and wins in 1998 there is no telling how many titles and victories he has by now. The Hall of Fame would have came calling a few years ago by now. But his tenure at Louisville is not Hall of Fame material, his tenure with the Knicks and Celtics is not Hall of Fame material, His tenure at UK is Hall of Fame material if it had more longevity. But to put him in the same institution as Rupp, Smith, Coach K and the likes is laughable.
