What are the odds?

If UK hires a coach that already has won a National Championship at another school what are the odds that he would win another at UK? I think they would be less than that of a young energetic coach doing so. What do you think?

I’d say about 61.4%

Based on our 100+ year history of hiring basketball coaches that have won a NC at some other school BEFORE they were coach at UK is somewhere close to 0.00%.
Oh wait, we have NEVER hired a coach who had already won a NC in basketball.

All but two after Rupp have won a Championship and IMO Sutton would have if he didn't get his hand caught in the cookie jar. So the odds would be great excluding a monumental flop hire. Looking at you Billy.

Read it again. None of those coaches had ALREADY WON A NC BEFORE they came to UK.

The UK basketball programs offers coaches the OPPORTUNITY to become a NC coach.
