But in all fairness that wall also says, "NBA players Rick Pitino has coached". Since Pitino didn't coach McCray or Ellison, I wouldn't imagine thier pictures being on that wall. Looks like Eric Crawford omitted facts to prove his point. I hate how you media people do that. Coach Cal made the right decision by not saying Pitino's name. For one, I would rather not hear his name at our BBM. The crowd would have booed. BBM is not about hating on past coaches, it's a night of celebration. I am a life long UK fan.

He did the right thing. Calipari mentions Pitino or Gillispie and his speech is interrupted by booing, somewhat spoiling the speech. He did the right thing.

But nobody is complaining about that. After all, GILLISPIE took the UK team to the NIT- first time in 20 years. (sarcastic reply) And Coach Cal forgot to include UK great GILLISPIE, also.

Some folks just look for something to complain about and are never happy. The ones upset that he didn’t mention Ricks name would be the same ones upset if he had mentioned it.
