Padgett Out

Louisville will be moving on. I can’t blame them either. Never has a program needed to clean house completely, more than Louisville.

That and Padgett sucks. #notajayhawk

Padgett did remarkably well under the circumstances.

Couldn’t agree more.

You ever just look at a guy and think he’s a douche? That’s how Padgett is to me. Always seemed to be on some high horse. I thought it was funny when he left, said he didn’t make believe in Coach Self or his style of coaching. Then Self wins the NC a few years later.

Interesting how we all have different recollection of Padgett and why he left. He was originally recruited by Roy Williams to play as a face the basket forward or what now we call a stretch 4 but Coach Self wanted him to play back to the basket Center. He transferred to Louisville to play for Pitino who at the time had had considerably more experience and success that Coach Self having already won a National Title with Kentucky (he would win another one with Louisville) as well as having coached the Knick’s and Celtics in the NBA.
I will alway remember Padgett as the player who scored the winning basket at the last game at Hearnes Center at Missouri, this alone makes him a memorable Jayhawk.

Couldn’t put it better!

Isn’t it about time for Rick Pitino to follow in Bruce Pearl’s footsteps at Auburn?
