I agree 100%. He's far from a perfect person, but I doubt very much that he's further from perfect than most basketball coaches. (or fans). I never bought into the thought that UK fans should despise him because he accepted a job with UL. He didn't leave UK to go there, he left UK to be a pro coach. When that didn't work out, he took the best college job that was open to him. Its more than a little presumptuous to think fans can dictate that he can't work for a "rival" long after he moved on from UK. Not that it matters, but it's really stretching the term to call UL a rival anyway. Rivals have more or less equal chances of winning games played over the years and that's never been the case with UL/UK.
No one said he couldn't work for a rival. The problem is he was so arrogant and thought that all but a small % of the fans (what was it 5%) would love him still even though he went to that hated rival. It shows you he thinks he was bigger than UK if that's how he felt.
About the only good thing I can say about him going to UL is that he ended up wrecking that place. I hope more NCAA issues come down on him and that job is short lived. It's time for him to go off into the sunset and not be heard from again.
