Jay Bilas has been one of the biggest proponents of John Calipari and the UK Wildcats, going all the way back to the Bahamas. I have said for some time that I believe he is the best college basketball analyst in the game and his insights, if taken seriously by those in charge, would make him a perfect College Basketball "Commissioner." Until then, we can use his insight from College Gameday this week on topics such as
Kentucky basketball, which he says should be praised off the court as well as on:
Kentucky doesn't really fit the stereotype, either. We say "the scourge of the one and dones" and "the one and done is ruining college basketball." You've got all these players going to Kentucky, they have sacrificed their minutes, they have sacrificed scoring, and they are winning. They play together, they play hard and they share the ball. How many guys at Kentucky have been suspended? None. How many have been arrested? None. They are doing it the right way. You don't like it, that's your business. But I'll tell you what, those are really good kids that have done a great job. And if they'd done it somewhere else, everybody would be praising the sacrifice and what great kids and all that stuff.
Hear, Hear!!!! Tell em Jay
