Evidently winning just doesn’t cut it for Kentucky Basketball. Now former head coach Billly Gillispie recently was let go from the Wildcats coaching position. He had coached them for three years and had a 39-26 record with the team.

I just don’t see the cause for Kentucky to bail on this good coach. He was named co-SEC coach of the year last season along with Bruce Pearl of Tennessee. His squad from last year made the NCAA Tournament. He recruited great athletes like Jodie Meeks for the squad. His team was on the bubble and barely missed the 2009 NCAA Tournament.

I think he should have been given one more year with his recruits to become seniors before giving up on him. I guess the Kentucky Athletics Director had higher aspirations for the team like making the Sweet Sixteen or something (which no SEC team did this year).
