Lawrence Jordan:
Rick Pitino (former coach): Elicit affair. Extortion plot. FBI involvement. Admittedly funding an abortion. Currently fighting with media. Cannot be good for current employer (U of L) - UK's arch in-state rival, with whom he took a job with in 2001.
Billie Gillispie (former coach): Run out of Lexington, KY after 40-25 record from 2007-2009. Arrested on third DUI charge this decade (1999 & 2003) early this morning at 2:30 am. And...he and UK sued each other.
John Calipari (current coach): First season at UK. Appeared in Final Four twice. NCAA forced him to "vacate" his appearance...twice...forfeiting all the wins in said seasons. Two programs have burned down due to NCAA violations that occurred on his watch, and he is the only coach to ever vacate two Final Four seasons. Enjoy the Calipari era UK!
UK - a bit of advice - quit hiring the slick used car salesman coaches! Of course, when your history involves playing an entire season ('52-'53) intersquad because the NCAA has banned any other schools from playing you, maybe cheating is part of the atmosphere in Lexington. Among the details leading to that suspension (gambling, point shaving, paying players, etc.).
PT: Eddie Sutton (former coach): How could you possibly leave this guy off the list? Remember he was coach in the mid-80’s when a package that was being delivered to star recruit Chris Mills burst open that was full of cash. After being forced out, he accepted at job at the ‘Memphis of the West’, Oklahoma State. While there he ran what appeared to be a shady program (remember he allowed JamesOn Curry to enroll). Then was forced to resign due to problems with alcohol.
LJ: Clearly an oversight when briefly reviewing their history, but a great catch, PT. Just adds more fuel to the corrupt UK fire!
