Most wishing him well, saying he deserves his chance and thanking for his time and services.

Tim Hardaway was always number one for me growing up. This is awesome news. I am liking this hire more and more everyday. I was lucky enough to move to Atlanta during the era of the Human Highlight Reel. Is his name Ironside? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking about it, how long has Strickland been at UK? I'm pretty sure Calipari has been watching those kids for some time, he will probably get first crack if they are good.

Rod Strickland brings his multiple DUIs to USF! Forget whether or not he has degree...does he have a valid drivers license? Looks like Strickland already has 4 DUIs...fittingly, next DUI will be a 'fifth'. With USF's history of athletes having problems, and getting arrests, for driving without valid licenses..maybe USF athletic dept should have an associate AD for drivers license operations. Do you need a license now to drive a moped in Florida? I read that he beat one of those DUI's. The UK assistant and former NBA star has three previous DUI arrests, the most recent being a 2001 incident in Virginia. Strickland was convicted in 1998 for the same charge and completed a year probation and 30 hours of community service. In 1999, he was acquitted of charges relating to driving drunk in Washington. http://kykernel.com/2010/04/12/breaking-news-uk-assistant-coach-arrested/ His last incident was 2001. It is notw 2014, maybe he has grown up and learned his lesson. Also, most of you are the pot calling the kettle black. I have seen way too many people getting three sheets to the wind at USF football tailgates, and most of those people are still over the 0.08 limit when they leave. Unless you have never consumed alcohol in your life or use a breathilizer before driving away from a USF football game, how about keep your funny comments to yourself. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
