Okay. Gillepsie is a damn fine coach.
I ragged on him earlier.

The man took a 0-16 team to 10-6 in TWO seasons.



Woolite-"But...he inheirated so much!"

Woolite-"But...he is in Texas! We are in Kansas! We can never be that good!"

ARRG!  :mad:

Re: Okay. Gillepsie is a damn fine coach.
gillespie is a damn fine coach.  that was obvious last year.  your other 2 points are true as well, regardless of how wooliteish they might be.

give me gillespie over drew any day.  i hate drew (even though he might be the only coach in the big 12 to understand the strategic value of the 3 pointer in modern college basketball).

Re: Okay. Gillepsie is a damn fine coach.
I'm not sold.  He had two impressive wins in his 7 (!) game win streak:  UT and @TT.

It's not so much that he is a good coach, as that the Big XII (particularly the North) is full of crappy coaches.

Re: Okay. Gillepsie is a damn fine coach.
Please tell me your full of crap. My sarcasm meter goes dead when we get ass-raped by ku.

He won by 16 on the road today. WOOLY HAS NEVER WON A ROAD GAME BY MORE THAN 11 POINTS!

If Wooly is the "coaching quality" barometer:

Yes, Billy Gillispie is an exceptional coach.

Re: Okay. Gillepsie is a damn fine coach.
If we hired a new coach and he went 8-8 followed by 10-6 w/two wins over his rival (ku) on our home floor, I'd be damned happy.

I would be thrilled, too.

Drew is still better.

Re: Okay. Gillepsie is a damn fine coach.
gillespie is a fine coach because his teams play hard.  very hard.  every game.  and because he recruits well.

being a good coach is actually a very simple thing.  hard to execute, but conceptually very simple.

Drew is a better recruiter.  I haven't seen his teams give up this season.
