CBB Coach: Kentucky's HC Search 'Getting Embarrassing' After Scott Drew Passed on Job
The Kentucky program is one of the gold standards in all of men's college basketball, but its coaching search is not exactly going according to plan after John Calipari departed for the Arkansas Razorbacks.
Basketball insider Adam Zagoria relayed a text message from another college basketball coach on Thursday, which said, "It's getting embarrassing, Danny no, Nate no, Scott no !!! People understand how difficult that job is and they don't want to follow CAL !!!!"
The text referenced UConn's Dan Hurley, Alabama's Nate Oats and Baylor's Scott Drew all turning down the job. It also came after Jon Rothstein of CBS Sports reported Drew elected to stay with the Bears.
