I think of it in 2 ways.
1.) I was so glad he came and resurrected the program and brought great players. Thankful for the first 8-9 years where we always had a chance and the best rosters in a long time. The first 5 years were some of the most fun years I’ve ever had as a UK fan. Having a strong NBA presence was nice to have finally after it was UNC for so long.
2.) I didn’t like who he became, he overstayed his welcome when he was declining. I blame Mitch for this as the contract he signed made him bigger than the program. No accountability led to no results. Wish he left after 2019 so we all had really fond memories of his time, even though we had some hard losses. Recruiting and NBA aspirations became more important than any winning as a program, Sharpe was a breaking point for me.
