Looks like Pat Knight left Gillespie with a bunch of fp's, tc's, etc's. It's not surprising, really.

[ChiComCat]

He could run off every player and they couldn't get any rough ridin' worse

[nicname]

Anyone seen Craig James' son partying with the Tech bball squad recently?

[wetwillie]

Billy Gillespie WOULD rough ridin' TAKE

Perhaps going the Mark Mangino/Mike Leach route. MACMW?

[MakeItRain]

Texas Tech are morons for hiring him.  Even those of us who admire cbb from afar knew Gillespie was toxic.  I bet the stories from insiders that the media can't/won't publish are awesome.  This was a very predictable outcome, I'm just shocked it happened this quick, the guy can't control himself.

Tom Coverdale should have seriously beat his ass, just like that swim coach did to Petrino.

One source said that Gillispie, the night before most games, has everyone in attendance participate in layup lines at the start of practice -- including television and radio broadcasters, strength coaches and assistant coaches.

"If we fumbled the ball, slipped or shot it with the wrong hand, he'd make us run the steps of the arena," the source said. "He got a big kick out of it, but it was demeaning for us as grown men."

[Winters]

Josh Gray, poor guy.

[Panjandrum]

Kirby Hocutt is a moron for hiring him.

FYP

Can you imagine Wyatt and Stanbot running stairs in the OOD? Oh man.

It looks like Wooly is still in someone's head. Sad really.

Good scoop Diamond Luke

[steve dave]

I mean, what kind of spineless loser journo runs stairs when the coach tells them to and later bitches about it?  why not just say no and laugh in his face?

[Rage Against the McKee]

Kellis would run those stairs in a heart beat. I bet Wallace would run them as well, and then get on twitter and rant about it. He's pretty good at standing up for himself on twitter.

If you would have read the article you would have seen that this is different crap from last week.  Stop misusing our memes.

So let's start a ton of different threads about slightly different things about the same person.  I suppose I should just have called it TEXAS TECH GILLISPIE MASTER THREAD.

I know everyone wants Friday Findings again, but I'm still worn out from running stairs last week.

Interesting rumor from a UK fan

Gillispie didnt leave Lexington, he was ran out of town. He had multiple alcohol related arrests and was known to jump fully clothed into pools in the spirit of the moment. From day one he was partying late at night and dating the waitresses from wherever he was that night. At least most coaches dont date in the cheerleader/athlete pool and dont frequent the public houses for close friends and companions. The Billy G stories around Lex are many and dont reflect the coach in a very good light. Because of the poor outcome of the UK athletics directors hire the process of hiring a replacement was given to a committee and taken away from the UK AD Barnhart. Calipari never understood why he was not interviewed for the position when Billy G was hired after only 48 hours of background checks and interviews. With the results of Barnhart's tenure at UK it makes Vandy's no AD model look appealing.
