Status of Tyler Ulis ?
- Thread starter Uncle Adolph
- Start date
Everyone has to start somewhere. I don't know many fans who are saying Ulis should be in a position that counts towards the assistant coach cap. Ulis is awesome and relates to players well, bleeds blue, and was a fan favorite for a reason.
I'm all for keeping him around the program somehow as long as he's learning from Pope and contributing well. Heck, keep him on as a grad assistant if possible.
He can grad assist for 2 years. Does he want to thats the question
I have read that grad assistant is for only 2 years . Is that right ? Like may would love to have Ulis back.
According to a lot of fans on this board we don’t want any “Cal guys” and need a fresh start.
Also he was a student assistant, if he graduated he still has 2 years to be a grad assistant. I personally would love to have him.

Ulis knows what it means to play for Kentucky. Keep him.
I disagree with the notion that everybody that ever played on a team coached by CCC should be considered "a Cal guy." For example ... I think it's well documented that MKG took matters into his own hands in influencing the early stages of the 2012 National Champions' practices. I think it's beyond legitimate dispute that MKG did that because (1) he thought something radical needed to be done, and (2) he was reasonably sure that CCC wasn't going to take the action himself. I'm sure there are "several" - if not "many" - others who played on CCC-coached teams that recognized his blatant shortcomings / failures as the head basketball coach at U.K.
I would be in favor of Ulis getting a grad-assistant position. I would also like to see MKG become "reacquainted" with the U.K. program under Mark Pope. Each of them has a U.K. basketball accomplishment that only a select few past U.K. players share.
Probably waiting till next week to announce he's leaving. Then not long after that he's going to Arkansas to keep the "UK negative" news coming.
In a vacuum I'd love to have him back, but is he more of a Cal guy than a UK guy? Only time will tell.

Y’all do realize that it’s entirely possible to be a Cal guy, a Tubby guy, or a Pitino guy and still be a UK guy. These guys have personal relationships with each other and will always be connected. I remember when Pitino was public enemy #1 and people gave him shit for still supporting Pitino. That was his coach who he had battles with grinder with, and went through things with. Even though he was a Pitino guy he’s obviously still a UK guy. This you have to be one of two things in all aspects of life needs to stop.
Don’t know, but if he hasn’t he can be a student assistant while he finishes his degree.
Ulis would be a good guy to keep wether grad assistant or real one.
Didn’t Ulis say in an interview early last year that he still wanted to play professional ball when he gets healthy? Maybe he might go overseas and play?
Should have figured out a way to keep him, in any capacity. He wanted to be here and had just built a new house in Lexington.
I know Matt Jones reported it not sure if anyone else did. Looks like Illinois wants him back bad and will pay him.
Probably. I don't see any passion at all from him for coaching. Of course I haven't seen a ton but my gut tells me that he doesn't really enjoy it.
