Lexington realtor Whitney Pannell is reporting on both her Facebook page and her Twitter account that she has ex-UK basketball coach Billy Gillispie’s house under contract.
As she says, “That didn’t take long.”

Thanks John,
It’s true!
That’s great news. He deserves a break after 2 months of being treated badly by the University of Kentucky. Billy has been a class act through these tough times. I’m proud of him.
I hope she has a formal agreement to sell signed. Knowing Billy G., he is probably trying to figure out how an offer to purchase can be construed as a formal contract so he can get some $$ on the backside if things don’t work out.
Isn’t that the Adams family’s old place?
a class act??? are you serious? making players stand in bathroom stalls as punishment, telling them to walk back to the hotel to Miller during the SEC tourny, being a drunk…yeah thats real classy. ha
Perhaps maybe he and the rest of us can move on.
Good for Billy. He is the one that has handled himself in a positive manner since his firing. Now perhaps the judges in Texas will give Barnhart as much trouble as he is giving Billy.
Blair, have you lost your mind??? When exactly was Billy acting like a “class act” as you say? Was it when he was kicking players off the bus, or making one sit in a bathroom stall, or cleaning out one’s locker??? I must be confused as to what the word “class” means.
Ms Pannell, thanks for the quick sell….the sooner the better!
I told you Whitney Pannell is a great Realtor!
The sooner he gets totally out of Kentucky the better. Gillispie was a “class act” alright, lower class. Trailer park mentality in a high paying job. Big ego, no substance to the man. What a great decision to fire him!
Where is Billy G at now? Is he in Texas? I hope he wins the lawsuit and coaches again.
Where is he at now? Is he still here in KY or in Texas? I will miss seeing him. I liked him and wish him the best.
Billy is a class act. The only thing he wants is the money due him. This new CAl man is way over paid for smiling in the camera. I do not like him. He is already bringing skeltons.
David, Gillispie better watch the skeletons he brings. I think he has a bunch of his own that if they get out will not look good.
There was nothing to like about the man; he was a first class (there’s the class you been talking about) jerk through and through. Should have never been hired; thank goodness Mitch decided to cut bait. He is due NOTHING! Talk about a fraud; claimed to be a big time basketball coach. If he is such a hot commodity how come he has not been snatched up by someone. I hope the courts make him pay UK’s legal expenses.
Gina, I am glad I do not have a cold heart like the one you have. If Mitch, Todd, rich boosters, were any kind of people, they would have just paid the man, and let him move on with his life, and they can move on with this over priced CAL man. Either way, Billy will get paid. If you could read, UK is asking NOT to pay for puntitive damages. They know they have to pay him but they do not want to pay very much. By the way, Billy’s name has been in the hat for new positions and I am sure he will be coaching someplace soon. He was mistreated by Mitch and Todd. Billy was not given enough time to do anything. It takes years to build up a team. Rick P had to do it both at UK and U of L and it took time!!!!!!!!! Hopefully, you can realize that. Do not expect a banner in KY. Players have to grow and develop. Also, it was totally wrong that some of the players have to leave the team because they do not “fit” into his style of play. Well, Tubby and Billy both did not do that. They worked with what they had to teach, develop, and coach. If you want to be so cold hearted towards someone try the state government, economy, and nation. People are losing jobs daily.
By the way, CAL has plenty of skeltons and they are surfacing and more will come. Every coach has issues but cheating……….CAL is known for it.
