SIAP: Pope with a nice tweet about Mr. Wildcat

[bbncal02]

Truly nice to see our coach "get the assignment."

I hope he can keep winning- he's the coach we need.

Pope is great, isn’t he?

Cal probably didn’t even know Mr. Wildcat’s name was Keightley.

When UK was in Long Island for the first two rounds of the NCAA in 2001, I made the trip from NYC with two rolls of black and white film. During the games vs. Holy Cross and Iowa I got shots of Bogans, Prince, Estill hitting 3s against the Hawkeyes, and I made sure to get a couple of close-ups of Mr. Wildcat. He was the best. No other program had a guy like him.

I love piling on Cal but I was at his first Big Blue Madness when he talked about Keightley.

Nice to know that a UK Coach still thinks about Keightley.... if Pope wasn't our next coach he'd never of been brought up again.

I've always thought that something to do with UK basketball should be named in memory of Bill Keightley. When our practice facility was being built I had hopes that it would be named The Keightley Center. It just sounds right.

He needs something.

Cal always honored Keightley, some of y’all have short memories

Yes he does. If freaking Tom Izzo can have a football facility named after him, Keightley should have something named after him.

Yeah, that's not what I mean this thread to be. I just thought it was nice to see our current coach keep Mr. Wildcat's memory going.

Happy Heavenly Birthday to a Kentucky Wildcat Legend! One of only two non-player/non-coach contributors (Cawood Ledford being the other) with a jersey in the rafters.
