Kentucky Hires A&M's Gillispie
Kentucky has finally found a replacement for the departed Tubby Smith. The Wildcats have hired Texas A&M coach Billy Gillispie. Gillispie was given a raise last week by Texas A&M to stop him from going to Arkansas. Gillispie will reportedly receive $2.3 million per year from Kentucky. Regarding the Wildcats’ program, Gillispie said “This program got turned around like 2,000 years ago and it's been turned around ever since. Since they started putting those nets up there and used a round ball, they never needed a turnaround.”
