There have been whispers that former Texas A&M and Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie may be looking to return to the sideline, perhaps after the Pat Knight experience putters to a stop at Texas Tech.This will probably not help his case.
Matt Jones of the newly-minted CBS College Basketball Blog has an interview with former Kentucky player Mark Krebs on a local television program (Jones previously created and ran Kentucky Sports Radio). Krebs is candid in detailing some of Gillispie's more nefarious dealings with Kentucky players, namely star shooting guard Jodie Meeks.
In fact, Krebs states that Gillispie kicked Meeks off the team at halftime of Kentucky's NIT Quarterfinal game against Notre Dame in 2009. He also, Krebs says, locked Josh Harrellson in the bathroom at halftime of a Vanderbilt game.
It doesn't seem that Krebs has an ax to grind with Gillispie, and he is even, at times, complimentary of the coach. Krebs has recently released a book about his playing days at UK, so perhaps he is drumming up publicity by dragging his ex-coach through the mud? Either way, there are a few fascinating tales told in the video below.
