....maybe we need to contact Oregon. They seem to move it up and down the court. Maybe the AD has some contacts in Oregon.

A "running" team is exciting but that is not the end all. I have seen deliberate teams who look for the good shot and who also have good flow and movement on offense, something which the Cats haved been missing.
I want a coach who plays a style that fits his team's strengths and one who demands good defense (ala Tubby?). Bruce Pearl's team plays a helter skelter running game but they do not play very good defense which cost them dearly against Ohio St.
Gillespie's team (T A&M) had that game won last night if his players had any legs left during the last 5 min. I think he would do well at UK, but I would rather have Calipari (actually would take Donovon and Pitino as 1st and 2nd choices but don't think either one would even consider it).

This Oregon team may give Florida some problems.

Bayer, now you know why I listed Ernie Kent in my
coaches poll yesterday. The guy is GOOD!, and yes
Mitch has connections. His Oregon team with Stoudameir, blistered Pitino by thirty points a
few seasons back.
