I will always say the best pure basketball coach in college basketball. If he had stayed at UK we would have long ago passed UCLA.

Why do you say "we" when you CLEARLY cheer for Vandy when they play UK? Bandwagoneers are THE worst.
Hard to say. Presumably it would be hard to keep that fire burning had he been at Kentucky for nearly 40 years. If he had, and he did, he might be considered the best college basketball coach of all time at this point.
But the guy could and still can coach. Not a fan of him going to UL but not going to hate on him for chasing a dream. I don’t know if he could be at UK longer than 10 years either, but we will never know.
Being a good coach doesn’t make him not scum. It’s not like he has multiple championships either. Plenty of better coaches and better people.
Yeah we get it you don’t like him and wanna make it personal. The dude is a good coach not the GOAT but good.
I agree his personal life can be improved, but as a coach, he’s a good coach but I do think time is passing him by.
We literally have guys on here who openly proclaim to like OSU in football.
Meh, game passed him by as tends to happen. The game is different now than when he was ar providence and uk...he was innovative with the press and 3's. But no one presses anymore bc everyone can handle the ball, and everyone can shoot now
He's one of the best to ever do it, but he ended up having to cheat to stay afloat at uofl
He's got a competitive team now, his iona stint really didn't mean anything bc he took over a team that had won their conference like 5 years in a row.

He’s scum because he was corrupted by the Jurich / Cardinal mafia.
He stayed here, he would have been an angel and someday a saint.
Except he could never figure out a way to beat us when he was at Louisville.
Man knows how to coach. His adaptation to different eras has been good too. His team is fun to watch in the Big East. Since St. John's was still relevant when I started watching decades ago it is good to see them having success again. That fanbase went through some dire stretches.
He was an *** here. Only got worseHe’s scum because he was corrupted by the Jurich / Cardinal mafia.
