Kentucky Grabs Billy Gillespie as New Coach

As I predicted in a post on March 22, Kentucky has announced Billy Gillespie as their new coach. He is an awesome coach for them to take, having experience as an assistant coach with the Fighting Illini, prior to turning around two programs in Texas as the head coach, UTEP and Texas A&M.

Billy is the hottest coach in the NCAA, and can be expected to have Kentucky in the final four in the next 2-3 years, and another championship before he is done. Billy, good luck at Kentucky!

Billy Gillespie to Kentucky?

So it is now official, Kentucky's coach Tubby Smith is going to Minnesota to coach the Golden Gophers next year. So who will Kentucky take as coach of one of the top tier programs in the country next year?

I don't know for sure, but I do know that the hottest coach in the NCAA over the past few three years has to be............

BILLY GILLESPIE, currently coach of the Texas A&M team.

Let's see how the Aggies do in the stretch run in the tourney. I have them making the final four in my bracket. There was already speculation that Gillespie was headed to Kentucky prior to the announcement that Smith is leaving, so this rumor will only gain steam.

If anyone knows of a better candidate for Kentucky, please post a comment.
