Not a fan.
He had a reputation as a choker before 1997.

I have always felt 1997 was a fix to get him a championship. So many fouls, if that happened today this message board would melt

The fact that Zona didn't make a fg in overtime and got all their points from free throws was a sham. Though Pitino should not have pressed Bibby and Simon. The possession before Epps hit the most clutch three no one ever talks about, Padgett was the one guarding Bibby on top who promptly blew by him to set up a 3 point lead for them.

Sigh....sorry to bring down the death thread.

Lute was the University of Kentucky basketball coach for about 2 hours. Verbal agreement. Then he looted us.

Will never forget Billy Packer with his stupid "Simon Says" at the end of the game. I wanted to reach thru the TV and choke the hell out of him.
