in his tenure at UK (97-07), Kentucky has only won fewer games than Duke, Kansas and UConn How long has it been since a Final Four? He won with a Rick Pitino team, which should've been the 3-peat (I still despise Simon for that one as well as Anderson's knee). my point was that 99% of the other team sin teh country would kill for the success of the guy you just ran out of town. I think UK fans are spoiled by their school's success. As they should be. Just because UK hasn't matched their past success doesn't mean they should lower their standards and expectations. I heard the same crap when Lavin was let go, but I can't think of too many UCLA alums, students or fans who were the least bit disappointed to see Lavin go.
