Game Day - KY vs Longwood - 7pm - Rupp Arena


WHO WHAT & WHERE IS LONGWOOD?
Mike's Pick: KY 80 - Longwood 52
Mike's Player Of The Game vs Delaware State - Kevin Galloway - 0 points - 0 rebounds. Kevin played only 90 seconds before Coach Billy Clyde Gillisipie called a timeout and pulled him from the game for dribbling too much. The timeout was called for one reason; to substitute for Galloway. Coach BCG did not talk to Kevin or his team when the timeout was called. I felt the need to show some love to Kevin after the manner in which he was pulled from the game. Hang in there Kevin! Due to a BSF class tonight, I will be taping tonight's game so please, no calls with updates. (Not that anyone else will really be following the game but just in case)

If Galloway would take care of business in practice, he wouldn't have this problem. He'll figure it out. He has to do it Billy's way.

Yes I know but I still reserve the right to disagree with how he handled it.

J Dub said...

Well supposedly Billy put him in the game to run the offense. Billy was supposedly yelling, "Pass the ball!" as Galloway continued standing there dribbling.

What else should Billy do? Call him over to the bench and ask him to please do what he asks?

This ain't Tubby anymore. It's a style that the fans and the players alike will have to get used to. It's a little tougher to stomach now that we're not very good, but I think in a few years we will appreciate his toughness.

I know exactly what you're saying and I agree for the most part but BCG could have wasted many timeouts and pulled a lot of guys for doing stupid stuff but he only chose to do that with Galloway. I wouldn't have had a problem if he would have at least taken some time to talk or scream at him or at least look at him. I hope this kid gets really ticked off and becomes a beast on the court.

I hope so too.

The "head games" worked with Crawford last year. Billy's got a plan. I think he knows what he's doing.

If he doesn't, he could find himself running the offense at Paducah Community College.

I guess the above statement could apply to both Galloway and Gillispie.
