Matta said he won't talk to UK. End of story.
Seriously though, if Matta didn't pursue the IU job, why would he pursue the UK job?
For every action there is an equal and opposite criticism.

Contractually Smith probably has to allow him to talk, so the question this story is based on probably only had one answer. I seriously doubt that Thad is going anywhere, he has a very good recruiting class coming in next year again, and a GREAT recruiting class coming for 2008. He is already one of the highest paid coaches in the country, and frankly Ohio State has all the resources or more, than Kentucky could offer. Kentucky's job has more historical prestige, but Thad is sitting on a home field advantage in terms of recruiting. Quite frankly it is embarrasing that Ohio State hasn't had more success over the years, considering the instate talent, and money in the athletic department.
Hugs, smiling, and interactive Twitter accounts, don't mean winning baseball. Until this community understands that we are cursed to relive the madness.
One possible lure for UK is that it is a school where the basketball program is top dog in the athletics department, whereas at OSU, the basketball program will always be second to football, no matter how successful a coach you are. So if ego and wanting to be top dog are what drives you, UK may be the place to be. And lets not forget Ashley Judd in the stands.
At this point, if Matta leaves again after he has said he won't, he may well end up looking like he went to the Nick Saban school of how to further your career.
Wear gaudy colors, or avoid display. Lay a million eggs or give birth to one. The fittest shall survive, yet the unfit may live. Be like your ancestors or be different. We must repeat!
As an Ohio State fan, if Thad Matta left, it wouldn't be the end of the world. You could always find someone to take his place.
Some people play baseball. Baseball plays Jay Bruce.
Ashley Judd, does that make UK more or less attractive?

My dad got to enjoy 3 Reds World Championships by the time he was my age. So far, I've only gotten to enjoy one. Step it up Redlegs!

A few years ago...I about burnt out UK football till they hired a young coach (who I liked his offense) by the name of Hal Mumme who got me intersted in football again.
I have done reached that stage with the basketball program and there are only a few guys that would bring back that excitement again for basketball.
Matta is alright but he isnt one of the guys. No offence to OSU fans on here just merely my opinion.
