Re: 2009 Kentucky Wildcats Men's Basketball - 4th edition

I heard a great Cal story last week. A friend of mine was working one of Cal's camps at UMASS. Typically before these camps the big name coach gives some sort of rah-rah speech telling the coaches to have fun, teach some basketball, and then they throw out some cheesy Lou Holtz quotes or some other nonsense. Not Cal. Instead, Cal tells them this, "I don't care if the kids learn anything about basketball, just make sure they have fun so that they bring back their money next year." Absolutely classic.

BREAKING NEWS: Billy Gillispie Checks into Alcohol Rehab

After a couple of days of speculation and a report out of Houston, it has now been confirmed that Billy Gillispie has entered the John Lucas Center in Houston, Texas to begin alcohol rehab treatment. As many know, Lucas struggled with his own addictions in his post-playing days and his rehab center is well-known for its ability to help those with similar struggles. Gillispie had been reported to be in Houston working with Lucas and it is likely that after that time, he made the decision to enter the facility.

As many know, we have been hard on Gillispie for some time on this site, especially for his actions in the past year. Having said that, I believe in redemption and know firsthand the way in which alcoholism can ruin lives. I applaud Billy Gillispie for his decision to seek help and I wish him nothing but the best. I have spent a great deal of time making Gillispie jokes and his problems with alcohol have been a punch line for many on this blog. That ends today. The first step in changing behavior is to admit having a problem, and that step is often the most difficult. With Gillispie’s decision, he has taken that action today and I pray that this becomes the step necessary to turn his life around.

It seems that the article I linked has been edited since I linked it. Yesterday's version said BG hadn't actually gone to rehab yet.

That's the reason I don't criticize Mr. Claus. I don't want a lump of coal in my stocking.
