Ironic how Rick rebuilt and left both programs
1. Uk was a wreck Rick built them back up and left the program in excellent shape to were they won a championship with his personal.
2. U of L was a wreck Rick rebuilt the brand had the program on very solid ground won a championship. Left the program in worst shape than both programs combined .
I just don't think our BB program will ever return to being great after this. And if the next AD is not all in on sports that will really hamper the BB program not being able to prosper. It's all about a AD paying top dollar to attract a great coach. Having to recruit from the bottom people just don't understand how damaging this was to this program. Look how long it took Rick to get us at this point and don't be fooled to think their is alot of coaches that could do what Rick did.
