UK fan here.......

[UKfan4sure]

Hey the I am from KY and a huge UK fan. What can we expect for Billy G. I can tell he was well liked and just wanted to know what to expect. We had a huge pep rally up here and he spoke well of Texas A&M and from what I could see he seemed like a really good guy. Thanks.

He's been know to have seizures and just drop and lay down on the ground during games. Plus, I heard he is mean to old ladies and babies. You should just return him.

I tell you I really feel sorry for you guys. I am glad to have such a great coach coming in but I know how it must feel to like a coach and they just leave. We had Pitino and Uk loved him and he just bolted he left for the NBA it really does hurt. He came back of course for our state rival Lousiville for which you beat (THANK YOU very much)

[hmiles619]

haha, he'll be good for you guys. I loved him when he was here, but after hearing some of the stuff I've heard since he's left, it might be better for everyone that he's gone.

He'll have the hardest working team around, and we'll see if his recruiting success continues. Part of the reason for his great recruiting was his connections to coaches here in Texas. Hopefully for you guys he can do the same in Kentucky.

[whitelightnin_23]

he'll take all of your women for his personal harem...


seriously, probably the hardest working coach around...and expects the same of his staff, players, and everyone associated with him.

All basketball, all the time...& I'm sure he'll fit in well up there...until he loses in the final 4 and you all call for his head ;)

He told me he was using UK as a stepping stone for the Mavericks/Spurs/Rockets.

I hope that BCG absolutely trashes your program.


But he won't.

He'll do really well.

UK fans will be far too picky with his half-court style of play though, and will run him the hell out of Lexington when they only beat South Carolina 46-44.

Very pointed. What would you take 12thAG?

.95

[blackgloves]

He coaches alot like Coah Pop (SA SPURS) Defense, team play and fundamentals. And alot like Coach Pop hes very vocal.

I hear his (preseason) work outs are brutal too. Very much like a bootcamp style training etc..

The Mavericks or Spurs can have bcg as long as the Rockets get Acie Law.

[Pumchavas28]

The Spurs don't need him....

The Spurs are about loyalty... bfg doesn't fit the mold of the Spurs... there is no room for ego's on that team...

Maybe he can fit in with the Lakers after Phill leaves...

[Pflugerville Ag]

You're getting a fantastic coach as long as your current players buy into his philosophy. They better plan on working their asses off harder than ever before (2 hour full speed practices on game day, "boot camp" the first two weeks of practice, etc).

[Dustin00whoop]

To add to what Wade said, he also hates dogs too! OH, & you better make sure someone keeps him away from the whiskey!
