You DO realize the NCAA will salivate at a chance to hammer us right? Because we all know that will happen.
Doesn't matter what other schools have gotten away with. Kentucky is held accountable.
Give me Sean Miller
- Thread starter Woodsmoke

Then we lawyer up like Kansas and UNC did. They’ve shown they’re terrified and powerless when programs do that. Hell, Louisville is where they are now because they didn’t do that. And look at the punishments the ncaa actually is handing out. Louisville cheated again WHILE ON PROBATION and got nothing but a bs fine.
I’m just not afraid of them anymore. And i don’t think any power 5 program with money should be. Mid and low majors? Yeah. They’ll still go after them.
The people who know and from things I’ve heard it’s pretty clear Scott Drew is going to get the first and last call, as long as Mitch B is AD.
-still young 52yo with 21+ years of HC experience
-Sees eye to eye with Mitch B
-probably hitting his prime
-Palatable to fan base and Administration
-Won a national championship at Baylor (nothing left to prove there)
-plays an exciting brand of guard oriented basketball
-his teams play no middle defense which ice and deny screens (which force the other team to play his pace/brand of basketball unlike John Calipari who thinks he’s the damn style bender)
-experience within the Big 12 which might be the only conference tougher than the SEC so it’s an easy transition
-has won pretty much >20 games each season after probation
-can recruit Texas
-Waco is apparently a miserable town and what he’s been able to do at Baylor he can do 2x better at UK
If I were AD id rather roll the dice with Nate Oats but I can fault the pick. It’s not a sexy pick but it’s a safe pick and it distances you from Calipari. Kyle Tucker, Branham, Pilgrim have all pretty much confirmed Drew would be the call. Let’s pray he says yes because I have a feeling holtman gets the call after that.

i like drew but as for miller noy winning it all Arizona. roy williams couldnt never win the big one at kansas but he won twice when he changed scenes to Caralina.
Yes, nearly every coach should be eliminated when searching for a Kentucky head coach.
Yes. Cal took UMass to the FF. UMass. Never won anything before. Even with Dr J.
Never won anything after he left.
Then Cal restored an awful Memphis team to greatness.
Then he completely turned UK around in one season.
Miller has never done anything close.
He did cheat to win and still didn’t.
Maybe he runs a “modern offense”?
I can’t tell.
He’s a loser no matter if it’s modern or old fashioned.
We're just scrolling down the list I see.
Why don't you take a look at his last 3 years at Arizona...3 tourney misses in a row. Isn't that what you're fed up with or are you just throwing darts at a map now

If we are giving credit for close losses in the elite 8 then why do we have a problem with Cal?
I'm pretty sure the fanbase won't be consulted or even considered when the time comes to make a new hire. The elite level booster will get a say and Calipari WILL recommend Miller. That's going to happen. So, prepare yourself.
Barnhart apparently thinks Drew is #1 on the list and I'm actually fine with that, IF he will come to Lexington. No guarantee he wants the intense spotlight of UK. he has turned down some offers recently though. Of course none of them were UK.
I think Tommy Lloyd may get a look as well. He's really accomplished nothing yet but, he's a reasonably safe hire if untested.
Miller would be able to recruit at UK on a level he couldn't at Arizona and certainly not at Xavier. Plus, UK has a very interactive compliance dept. So, the checks and balances are in place. But, honestly what are we complying with in 2023?

I know it would probably be a waste of time, but I would give Jay Wright a call. If he said no I'd call him again. Persistence is how C. M. Newton got Pitino. But I like Drew too, Musselman would get a call, maybe Oats, I think he relies on the 3 too much though. One coach no one's mentioned that has done a good job is Buzz Williams, I think he would do a good job here.
