Billy Gillispie hopes to bounce back

If you haven’t yet, check out this story about former UK coach Billy Gillispie in the Forth Worth Star Telegram: Billy Gillispie is ready to resume his career.

In the most extensive interview — and story — to date, the writer sits down with Gillispie for two hours, talks to John Lucas, who helped Gillispie get clean and gets a pretty solid background of everything that happened.

The biggest thing to me: Gillispie says he’s finished with alcohol. That’s big news.

The former UK coach also hopes to land another head coaching job soon. His name has been tossed around a lot in the Southwest, where he is from.

Make sure you check out the story. It’s a long, but good, read.
