Just cut the string already. Get rid of Gonzo.

Face it...if he were a good coach, he would be doing better.

Oh wait...here comes the "patience" crowd. My retort---why isn't he recruiting the "one and done" kids that win championships??? Fact is...he can't. If he could, he would.

Gonzo can't get to the NCAA tourney with "2 and done" kids.

All the coaching in the world is no good if players don't make plays. That flagrant foul sequence is one example. The half-dozen or more missed layups are another. The failure to secure a few more defensive rebounds and loose balls were others. The team actually ran more plays on offense, more successfully, than at any time so far this season. The Vols went toe-to-toe with the program and at the place that has frustrated a variety of UT coaches--and lots of others, for that matter--for decades if not generations. This Vol team is not dead yet. This particular crop of UK "one-and-dones" is not likely to win a championship; last year's crop was lightning in a bottle, not a formula to ensure championships. No one else has succeeded with that formula, only UK under Calapari would even try it, and it may not work for him again.
