Coach

U of K fired the guy and now they are trying to beat  him out of the six million that was part of the buyout. It will be interesting who they hire as it's not as good a job as it use to be. It is still a good job, but it will take a unique person to withstand all the "unbasketball" pressure.

Louisville got knocked out of the tournament today, so now we can get on with the handicapping of the Derby.

March Madness

The big question here in Kentucky is whether the University of Kentucky will keep basketball coach Billy Clyde Gillispie. Minor problem: It would cost about six million to buy him out. I personally, would welcome such a buyout (any takers?) If they do get rid of him, who would be the new coach? Post your pick.

Keeneland opens a week from tomorrow so get your khakis and navy sports coat out.

Basketball

Who would have ever thunk…..The Commonwealth of Kentucky will have three teams in the NCAA and none of them is UK (which has a home game in the NIT which is a 4th seed AND they cannot play on their home court as the Kentucky Boys Tournament has it booked.) SO, they will have to play in their practice facility where the girls play. Memorial Colosseum………How things have changed.
