Abandoned by Tubby Smith, who left on HIS own terms and felt the love in Gopher country, spurned by "savior" Billy Donovan of Florida Championship fame, rejected by Texas Coach Rick Barnes, Kentucky Wildcats settle for their THIRD choice, Texas A&M's Billy Gillespie. View the intro. video. I guess you can say that the Wildcats FINALLY got their Billy, even if it WASN'T the Billy (Donovan) they had dreamed will lead them to the Basketball promised land. I wish this Billy ALL the luck in the world.
Watch the video of the press conference.
Update: This Bill will be paid $2.3 million in the first year of a seven-year contract, with the amount going up by $75,000 yearly after that, plus incentives. While at Texas A&M Billy made $1.23 million, plus some incentives.
