June 2nd: On this date...


"Buy this basketball...and these tickets...or I'll shoot!"

... in 1989, the man pictured above, Derrick Miller, decided to stay at your University of Kentucky following a coaching change. Rick Pitino met with the Kentucky players in Wildcat Coal Lodge for about 40 minutes and told them to get outta Dodge if they wanted; but if they decided to stay, they would be a part of "the most exciting school in America today." Players like Sean Sutton, Reggie Hanson, Derrick Miller, and the Unforgettables would have to decide what to do within a few weeks. Sean Woods seemed to be the most positive of the bunch, saying, "Coach Pitino is a great guy, and I look forward to playing for him." Miller also decided to stay. He then followed this up by trying to rob Kentucky fans for everything they have. GO BIG BLUE!!
