I give him credit. Most kids commit early and with coaching changes end up reopening their commitments. I think of Patterson two years ago. Imagine if he had committed when Tubby was the coach?

Calipari interview today on CBS. Gotta love Seth Davis bringing up the money and Cal shooting it down real quick.
Re: 2009 UK Basketball Thread - Part III
Just thinking about where UK would be today "if"....
I seen some reports that Izzo was a target if Cal said No. Lets say he had of said No.
Would UK have waited for Izzo to complete tourney run or you think they would have settled for someone else ?
Dont get me wrong, I am glad he didnt say "no" but just curious on your thoughts....

Good question. Also, those who wanted Anderson instead of Izzo... I can't help you. Dude can coach at any pace.

Something to keep an eye on in the coming days:
Where Reggie Theus ends up.
He is being linked to both Memphis and Arizona and also has connections to DeMarcus Cousins. If he lands at either of those jobs we will have competition for his services.
Arizona is getting pretty desperate after everybody has turned them down. I have even heard Josh Pastner being mentioned.

There is more truth to that rumor than you would think. In fact, he is not out of the mix at Memphis either. Most people know that Josh's ultimate goal is to be a head coach--not just a 'recruiting guru' under Calipari.

Sounds like Memphis may be down to Plan Z by the time they make a hire. Drew told them no. Allegedly Arizona will make a run at Sean Miller. Something I read from Cousins' dad made me think whoever hires Theus gets Cousins automaticly.

I seen last night where Henry has picked Kansas on ESPN ( at bottom of screen).
It still may happen but at least right now, it isnt true per Henry's dad.

Re: 2009 UK Basketball Thread - Part III
Miller is apparently headed to Arizona. Being a Xavier fan consists of long periods of contentment followed by being hit in the nuts with a crowbar. Literally none of the names mentioned inspire any confidence.
Miller apparently told the XU executive committee on Friday that he had turned Arizona down. The AD, armed with this info, headed to Detroit for the Final Four. It sounds like everyone was blindsided by his change of heart.
Re: 2009 UK Basketball Thread - Part III
Is it a confirmed story about Miller to Arizona? I had only seen reports that he 'met with' the AD today.
With the way the last two weeks have gone for Arizona, I would not be popping the champagne corks until Miller inked the deal.
Re: 2009 UK Basketball Thread - Part III
Wow, Louisville is more of a basketball school than I gave them credit for. :laugh:

Hey coach Cal...NEVER apologize or feel guilty for being successful. NO ONE would turn down 30 million dollars.:thumbup:

SportsCenter just said he turned the job down.

Pretty dramatic change of heart. Maybe he just wanted to ride on an airplane.
