An indirect disciple of Coach K, a disciple of Coach Knight, an Oompa Loompa and a guy from a family of cheaters lead the pack.

Great choices folks.
 
Some people believe UK basketball is comparable to the New York Yankees and Lakers, but it’s simply not. We’re the best college basketball team ever overall, but that’s a whole different world from professional sports.
The kneeling kitties are auditioning for the nba. Cal used to brag about team play - we don' t have one go-to-player.
 
Two key words in your post "at Baylor." Waco ain't Lexington. Baylor ain't Kentucky but okay. lol.

Waco isn’t Lexington?? What!?! For real?

Point being- he still hasn’t even made it ONCE past the S16 and that was one single time. One.

There are other options that are better than a completely unproven coach with little to zero post season success. Got it brotha? You get that, right? Sure ya do! :)

My first choice is Chris Beard. What's everyone think about bringing back Kenny Payne? Things have sure went to hell in a hand basket since he left.
The UK job would eat beard alive. Billy Clyde 2.0.
Honestly this list sucks. It has little Ricky on it and not Kenny Payne? I mean, Payne clearly isn’t ready for it either but how does he not make the list? His absence is being blamed for our putrid season. So why isn’t he even on the list? Weird.

What a terrible list. None of those choices would excite me as a UK basketball fan. And all of them a downgrade from Cal. This board had lost it’s mind.
But didn’t you hear? We’ve moved the goal post. All we need is someone who won’t go 8-15. Anyone with a pulse will do. We’re also super sensitive now so the new coach is not allowed to hurt our feelings
 
Pearl would kill it here.

Awesome personality for media and to rengage the fans.

Can recruit, fun style, players love him and play hard for him.

And still has the passion/hunger/inner drive to win a NCAA Title, not worry about generational poverty.
Hire Bruce Pearl and you better start paying Sandy Bell that $9 million a year 😂.
