Gillispie's guys are Patterson, Harrellson, Miller, and Liggins, the rest of the guys are Tubby holdovers, and only one of those guys is a good player (Meeks). The offense this season has been concerning, but criticizing his recruiting is not accurate, because this team was left with nothing outside of Meeks (and Bradley and Crawford last year), and not one legitimate inside player.

And I'm starting to see similarities between him and Billy G in the Lex. I mean since when does a coach say his strength is on the defensive side? He prides himself on help, trapping, rotating, communicating, assignments, and ball-pressure: congratulations! YOU SHOULD, you're a head coach - there are 2 sides of the floor - how about the offensive side? You can't just hope for the best. Is this why he doesn't call plays when the cats have the ball? I've never seen a coach be less involved than he is when he has the ball. I think this has to be the main reason for the lack of set plays, movement, and inability to feed the post. Either it's not practiced, stressed as much in practice or he's more guard oriented in his attack around the perimeter. The fault should be squarely on his shoulders - honestly Cat fans, are you starting to realize he's not the Savior you so badly need? How much longer do you see him on the sidelines with ju-cos and mediocre recruits? We had to deal with Doherty for 3 seasons - be glad you'll never endure an 8-20 season. I hope it turns real fast for you guys - it should since the SEC is horrible this year.
