Billy Gillispie physically chased by obnoxious TV reporters
The Dagger —
As Billy Gillispie's days in the UK job waned, he contended that he wasn't hired to be a celebrity -- he was hired to coach basketball games. How's this for celebrity?
Yes, that is Billy G getting chased -- first in a walk, and then in a brisk job -- by Kentucky TV reporters. It is hilarious.
There are so many good things here, it's hard to decide which is my
favorite. Is it Gillispie pretending to be on the phone, even though he
never says a word the entire time? Is it the reporter constantly asking
questions he knows Gillispie isn't going to answer? Or is Gillispie
desperately breaking out into a jog, only to have ...
Run Billy, Run
Inside the Hall | An Indiana Hoosiers basketball blog —
Unless you’ve been away from a computer, TV, radio and civilization all day, you’ve heard by now that Billy Gillispie has been relieved of his coaching duties at the University of Kentucky.
But what you probably haven’t seen is the gem of video below. It’s worth a view, regardless of your fan affiliation:
What you just witnessed was two reporters, one from Lexington and one from Louisville, literally chase Gillispie through the Joe Craft Center (UK’s practice facility). Nevermind the fact that he was supposedly on the phone and went through ...
Billy Gillispie Being Chased by Kentucky TV Reporters, Video
NESW Sports, Sports Videos —
Billy Gillispie Being Chased by Kentucky TV Reporters, Video. You know UK was right Billy Gillispie was just not ready for Kentucky basketball. Dude! Who in this world would be ready for this? The reporters literally chase you down. Kentucky is like another country. ( and I live in Alabama and I am a huge SEC fan )
Say what you want about Gillispie, and maybe he was not really on the phone, but this is bush league reporting. I love how Gillispie has to use a card to get into the building and the reporters just waltz right in. Hat Tip The Dagger. ...
Leave Billy Alone!
College Hoops Journal —
Tireless reporting, lack of respect for one’s privacy or hilarious commentary on how ridiculous this situation had become? What makes it especially good is Billy swiping his card for clearance, then not locking the door behind him at each turn.
He was so not on that phone with anybody.

Video - Security Fails To Stop Mark Hebert & Alan Cutler from Storming Joe Craft Center
Bob's Blitz —
Idiot reporters (WHAS-TV political reporter Mark Hebert and WLEX-TV's Alan Cutler) running around unchecked through the Joe Craft Center trying to get fired Kentucky coach Billy Gillespie to punch them. Where is security? If your child is a student at U of K - have to be thrilled psychos can just enter and run around where your little student athlete might be. Good job Kentucky.
Billy Gillespie Is Run Out of Lexington
The March to Madness —
Kentucky's Billy Gillespie tried the old I'm-not-talking-to-anybody-but-I-have-my-cell-phone-to-the-ear trick Friday when confronted by reporters after being fired, but basketball is big news in Lexington and members of the electronic media were determined to get a comment from the former coach. Mark Hebert of WHAS Alan Cutler of WLEX led the charge as Gillespie tried to run from the horde. Where does Kentucky turn? Florida's Billy Donovan said no to the Wildcats, and Memphis' John Calipari and Villanova's Jay Wright indicated they are not interested.
Does that leave ...

The Sporting Blog —
Billy Gillespie got canned in part because Kentucky stunk it up through February and March, and in part because he didn't fit the mythical mold of the Kentucky Coach. Not enough glad-handing, not enough baby-kissing, not enough collegial back-slapping with the media. Athletic director Mitch Barnhart actually invoked the name ...

Defense, Giles, and Gurley and Shine in Scrimmage. Unfortunately, it sounds like the o-line reverted in this scrimmage. Good to see some younger players stepping up, though.

One More Demonstration of Exactly How Crazy Kentucky Can Be
FanHouse —
by Chas Rich Filed under: SECThis is amazing. Alan Cutler at WLEX in Lexington gives new meaning to over-the-top pursuit of a sound byte. Billy Gillispie reporting to the Kentucky athletic department for his firing as head coach. Cutler and his crew go Carl Monday to get a quote. Literally start running after Billy Gillispie who doggedly ignores them. The whole time, Gillispie is holding a cell phone to his ear pretending to be talking to someone -- even while running. One More Demonstration of Exactly How Crazy Kentucky Can Be originally appeared on Fanhouse NCAA ...
MARK HEBERT AND ALAN CUTLER CHASE COACH BILLY GILLESPIE
Docksquad Sports —
As you all probably know by now, Coach Billy G has officially been let go by Kentucky. I think this was like a year overdue. Billy G at UK was honestly one of the worst Coaches I had ever seen. With two sick players, they could not even make the tournament, or even win the NIT. The Wildcats even lost at home vs broke teams when they were 15 pt plus favorites a bunch of times too. What a joke he was. Anyways, this video of him being chased is hilarious, so check it out... ...
Kentucky Reporters Sure Are Considerate and Sensitive to Billy Gillispie
Larry Brown Sports —
So Billy Gillispie got the axe from Kentucky on Friday. I’m not sure if anything can portray the friction between Gillispie and the media better than the following video. This is how desperate two TV reporters from Kentucky were to get a comment from Gillispie who clearly was pulling the “Cellphone to the ear bit” even though he wasn’t talking with anyone.
Alright, so there’s the side of Gillispie about which the folks at UK were complaining. Kentucky’s athletic director, Mitch Barnhardt, tried to say ...
The Climate: Barkley miracle, Tim Tebow-Urban Meyer love affair
SI.com - Extra Mustard —
By Dan Rubenstein The Climate is a look at what's good and what's not so good in the world of sports. After comparing the column to the almighty ShamWow last Monday, ShamWow owner and pitchman extraordinaire Vince Shlomi was arrested for allegedly punching a prostitute repeatedly to get her to stop biting his tongue. This, of course, is a sign that I now have the power to make or break anyone in the public eye, not unlike a young Quincy Jones or Worldwide Wes. If there's anyone you would specifically like to see me wield my considerable power over, don't hesitate to email sitourguy@gmail.com ...
