Billy Gillispie -- May be fired from Kentucky
Billy Gillispie isn't so sure he'll still be at Kentucky after two dissapointing seasons at Kentucky. University of Kentucky men's basketball coach Billy Gillispie isn't sure whether he'll be back for next season.
After losing to Notre Dame in the NIT tournament, and having a career record of 40-27, he may be hitting the bricks losing for another gig.
From a USA Today article :
Gillispie said during his coach's show on Thursday taped at WKYT-TV in Lexington that the choice on whether he will return is "out of his hands."
Kentucky's season ended with a 77-67 loss to Notre Dame in the National Invitation Tournament quarterfinals Wednesday, dropping Gillispie's record to 40-27 in two years since he was hired to replace Tubby Smith.
Speculation has grown in recent weeks about Gillispie's job security and university president Lee Todd said recently he would evaluate the program after the season.
Kentucky center Patrick Patterson expressed his support for Gillispie following the Notre Dame loss and said he plans to return for his junior season.
