Just announced Elzy and UK part ways after 4 seasons.
Elzy fired.
- Thread starter zannmann
- Start date
Mitch does have a pair now let’s see if Cal flames out if he’s got it again…. Back to Elzy let’s see if he can make the right hire because I don’t trust him to make any kind of right hire….
Because Elzy and Cal are really similar...
I figured this was coming. Will be interesting to see who he brings in. I’m not as negative on his hiring ability as many others are. I’m more negative on contracts that he gives.
It was time. Gave her opportunities. She had that good run to win the SECT. But hasn’t done much sense.
Wish her well and now time to find a new, better replacement.

"Apples to oranges" doesn't even do this justice. More like comparing apples to shower curtains. Just ignorant
Is there any chance Mathew Mitchell gets his old job back?
Mitch will want to stay in the Pat Summit tree and Kara Lawson is the only one that has a pulse. Duke is a good WBB gig, but Kentucky would be better and will inevitably have more resources over the next 10-15 years as the ACC crumbles. She would move the needle nationally and I think may even make a few of us pay more casual attention locally.
I suspect KP will get his pink slip Wednesday morning. Unless by some miracle UL wins tomorrow night.
Good call. She was given 4 years. Program was getting worse each year. I think it was a bad call to remove the interim tag in the first place.
Yea ok whatever you all say expectations of the men’s team are a little higher than the women’s team and we all know that Cal has been living up to those the last 5 years. 9-16 year , worst tournament loss in school history( 15 seeded Peacocks) , One NCAA tournament victory since 2019, the wins against ranked teams are pitiful the last several years. But sure buddy apples to oranges!
Thank you, Mitch. You may have just saved U K women's basketball.
Lesbihonest, the hot ones aren't going to play for your team. They prefer the rug.
Men's teams expectations are, let me get this right, "a little higher" than the women's? That's your stance?!?
Yeah, the 15-seed upset was brutal. Show me a blue-blood program with a loss like that who turned around and fired their coach. I'll wait. Go back and look at Duke's upsets, Purdue's upsets, Virginia - remember Virginia, first ever 1 seed to lose to a 16 and then turn around the next year and win the title. I bet they're pretty happy they didn't let posters on a forum decide the coach's future...
If you're going to have this conversation, at least be real enough to point out that the NCAA tournament was cancelled in 2020 when we had a prettttty decent team. So to say "since 2019" is a bit dumb
If you want a young coach with tremendous upside, I'd go with Kim Caldwell at Marshall. She's a winner and the fans in Lexington would love her style of play.
Cal will have his day don’t worry the 9-16 year should’ve gotten him fired automatically any other coach at UK wouldn’t had survived it. Since his contract was setup so shitty he survived it but his lives are running out he will eventually get what Elzy got today it’s only a matter of time!
The GCU coach is quite the looker, too.
Being a big fan of diversity, maybe there’s a hot, busty Latina that’s right for the job?
Yep, her and the coach at GCU already made the leap from DII success to success at DI....basically the Transy coach a step ahead of where she currently is.
Caldwell would be a great get. She went 68-4 in her last 2 years at Glenville State, including a DII national championship and Final Four. Marshall averages 86.1ppg (3rd highest in the nation). They went 17-14/9-9 last year under their previous coach and she is 23-6/17-1 so far this year.
She would be a great hire.
Probably not. His last season he was losing personnel left and right to transfers. Which happened but then he had his accident. He’s still not 100% and has kinda stated he’s pretty much done with coaching.
Sometimes I'm not sure if you're Jim Halpert or Quagmire.
I don't believe so. It's also worth noting that he kind of puttered out at UK. I would have loved to have seen what he could have done with Howard, but he went Round of 32, miss the tournament, Round of 32 in his last 4 seasons (COVID was the 4th). Seemed like he had hit his peek.
I would look at assistant coaches at South Carolina, Stanford, Oh St, Uconn, Iowa and so on. Those teams are perennial contenders, so I would imagine some of those coaches have the skills and recruiting abilities to build a program up.
They could always try to poach the Transy coach as well.
