Justus came to UK after serving as the head coach at Davidson Day High School in Davidson, North Carolina. In both years at the helm, he guided the Patriots to the Elite Eight in the state tournament.

Prior to his time at Davidson Day, Justus served as the head boys’ basketball coach at Woodberry Forest School in Woodberry, Virginia, from 2008-12. During his time at Woodberry Forest, he guided his team to the Virginia Prep League regular-season championship in 2010 while advancing to the Virginia Prep League championship game in consecutive years, a first in more than two decades.
---------------------------

Barbee was hired as UTEP’s head coach in 2006. During his four-year tenure at the helm of the Miners program, he averaged 20.5 wins per seasons and exceeded his win total from year to year. His most prolific season at UTEP was his last in which he led the Miners to a 26-7 overall record, a C-USA regular-season title and an NCAA Tournament appearance in 2009-10.

He became Auburn’s head coach prior to the start of the 2010-11 season. He spent four seasons as the head coach of the Tigers and has amassed an overall 131-127 record as a head coach.

Hey Chad, on your next Zoom call with King Andy & His Merry Band of Fops, can you bring up the point that I'm really disappointed that it took him 21 paragraphs to talk about racial injustice in his lawsuit against the legislature over effing COVID? That's not the sort of progressiveness I expect from our betters.

"21. Despite the grave and extraordinary circumstances facing the Commonwealth, immediately upon gaveling into the 30-day Regular Session on January 5, 2021 -- a session in which a state budget must be enacted -- the General Assembly chose to prioritize legislation aimed at taking away the Governor's executive authority to address emergencies rather than legislation to address COVID-19, to pass a state budget, to provide affordable health care, to address racial injustice, to invest in education, to address the opioid epidemic, or to appropriate more than $220 million to help small businesses."

A drinking game where any time a Democrat inserts race into literally any topic would be certain death.

- Just received shot #2. Feels awesome. Looking forward to my parents and wife getting theirs, and SAE completing his, of course. My 78-year-old father-in-law who’s battled prostrate and skin cancer received his first dose last week in Virginia. I’ve worried a bunch about him.

- Speaking of, they’ve just sold their house in Virginia and should be ABH’s neighbors by late March.

- I’m much more forgiving of bad driving from cars with UK stickers/plates.

- I’m enjoying “Pretend It’s a City.” As a sophisticated traveler, I’ve been all around the continent and even Europe, but no place has stuck with me like NYC. Loved it.

- Still waiting for a real breakthrough. Maybe tonight? It’s why I keep watching.

- Always thought people talking about getting home to their kids being the highlight of their day were exaggerating a bit but my legit favorite thing every day is waking up my daughter. She’s so smiley and sweet in the morning. Starts beaming as soon as we wake her up. It’s the best.
 
If you want a much more entertaining walk down basketball memory lane than the painful-ass recap of the cursed 2017 Regional Final yesterday (wtf, assholes?), the newest episode of Crime in Sports is about Rod Strickland. LOTS of Kentucky connections, including clowning on both Rex Chapman and Rick Pitino.

And in retrospect, okay, Toast, maybe he shouldn't be around the program. 😬

My bad. Was more a reflection on the unreliability of memory.

Is understanding a thermostat just something that women have zero interest in? I regularly find our thermostat at home 5 degrees higher than normal because my wife "got cold and want it to warm up quicker"

Now the one day I come into the office it's freezing because the office that has the the thermostat has a woman in it with a space heater going full blast.
 
- Isn't that GIF kinda saying that Kentucky is the pits?

- Still love it when I'm watching a CBB game on a Fox station and they use NBC's old NBA music.

- I realize there are advantages to the new way of doing things, but I kinda miss the old Signing Day, when everything hinged on that random Wednesday in February. It was/is the only reason fax machines still exist, no?

- I'll never be smart enough to know how it can be the exact same weather conditions two mornings in a row, and you have to scrape frost off your windshield one morning and not the other one. Just another thing I'll never understand, along with magnets, Carson Daly, and why DePaul rehired Dave Leitao.

- Doesn't matter how Cal feels about Reed Sheppard....if I'm Reed Sheppard, I honestly want no part of this Kentucky program right now. We all know how that movie would end.

- Underrated author....Pat Conroy. "My Losing Season" is a great memoir from his time playing college basketball back in the day.

- Teaching the oldest how to drive has been a surprisingly fun experience. Trying to put her in different situations (crowded parking lots, merging onto New Circle, navigating Hamburg, etc.). I don't remember my parents doing that at all. Seems like they just wished me luck and told me to figure it out.
 
@FearThe Blue you good, it was the prolonged remembrance that got me. (My memory of that game is fuzzy because I was nursing a bourbon hangover, but honestly I feel it's better I don't remember much other than the last shot and throwing my remote.)

@WilliamJ I wish I could take up for my gender on that one but unfortunately, on the whole, your assessment is correct. I'm an outlier as a cheapass, since I used to keep my apartment's heat on 65 all winter and just piled on blankets. Grateful every day the guys in my office run our thermostats tbh.

My dad took me for a couple laps around the bus circle at the local elementary school before telling me to drive him to the convenience store for some smokes.
 
The best thing I ever saw on signing day was I think Bama putting the smokeshow in charge of retrieving the faxes of their NFL players throughout the day.

My wife has an app and the physical thermostat but neither 'work' when she's tried. Yet somehow the house is either warm or cool by magic.
 
I got my second COVID shot (the Faucci Ouchie) yesterday in case anyone needs to bitch about it.

Huge pickup for Stoops this morning. A major talent at a major position of need, and ripping him away from the deep south schools that coveted his signature 😎

Polar vortex descends on KY this weekend, boooo!

Quoting out business insurance, this is an area of weakness for me. All those terms and clauses run together 😴

I've not been as down about UK basketball since the probation period under Sutton. I'll still turn on every game and cheer them on, but the redass comes on rapidly.

Winter hunting season is officially over. I got into it more this year than I probably ever have. Hope to have my little cabin a the farm ready before next winter.

McDonald's burrito meal for breakfast. Shiz nasty, but I'm loving it.

You can ask your HVAC tech during the service call to put on offest in to counter the desired temp. 😈

SEC Tourney shaping up to be a tough one.

If we scratch out a win on Wednesday, could see UTjr on Thursday.

It's the clouds. Cold clear night = frost. Cloudy night = less frost chance.

I don't see anyone in the SEC so much better that this shitty team couldn't beat. Hell, not just beat but do so handily.

My eternal optimism I guess but except for a couple of teams, everyone sucks.

I hope we get a bid via the First Four, win and get 16 seed in either the Midwest or East.
 
I think our tweak involves the element of surprise. Apparently since our own coaching staff doesn't know who might or might not play on a given night, it could theoretically make us tougher to prepare for.
Should we prep for the guy that takes all the long 2's and can't shoot or the other guy that takes all the long 2's that can't shoot? Oh snap, they also have that one guy that takes all the long 2's can't shoot and turns it over!
 
Let's be real for a sec, our chances are quite slim of getting a bid unless they decide at the last minute to have an everyone gets a trophy tournament.

However, it would be flat awesome to somehow get in and get the top seed in either the 1st or 2nd round.

Any top seed.

That fanbase of the top seed would be talking smack during the lead up and us knowing deep down, said fanbase realizes they ain't playing Bellarmine.

Personally, this would alleviate some of my misery I have encountered this season.

Hell, win or lose, I would be like Clark at the end of Christmas Vacation.
