Coaching change

Andy Katz reporting a 4:30pm press conference to announce the University of Kentucky has let Billy Gillispe go from his duties as the basketball coach.

HERE WE GO? If there is another press conference within 48-72 hours, Billy Donovan or Travis Ford is the guy. If not, UK will actually do research this time.

Meeting was at 2:00pm and lasted approximately 18 minutes at Lee Todd's campus mansion. Gillispie said "Hook 'em Horns" as he was leaving. Im kidding.


UPDATE:
Everyone is piling on now.

http://www.kentucky.com/ has some stuff about an 18-minute meeting at Todd's house, information about the buyout, etc.

Interesting quote from the Kentucky.com article...

A driver in a green Chevy Silverado with Texas license plates and a Texas
A&M decal on the window dropped Gillispie off at Maxwell Place about 2 p.m.
The same vehicle picked Gillispie up and drove away at 2:18 p.m.



WKYT has reported Billy Gillispie called them and told them he is calling his own press conference tomorrow at 11:00am. Oh no, this could get ugly.

  1. John Clay is reporting he is hearing a PC at 4:00, so this could be another version of no one knowing anything.
