Billy Gillispie doing it his way

Jason King of Yahoo! Sports, has a nice story on Kentucky basketball coach Billy Gillispie.

It goes into his Eat, Sleep, Breath approach on coaching basketball, and how he’s doing it way.

It’s a very nice piece filled with quotes.

Including…this after the victory over Tennessee

“What’s up, coach? It’s your No. 1 fan! ”

Gillispie turned and shook hands with Buster Patterson, the father of Kentucky freshman Patrick Patterson.

“Gettin’ better, aren’t we?” Gillispie said.

“A lot better,” Patterson replied. “Keep it up. Rome wasn’t built in a day.”

Gillispie shakes his head.

“Yeah,” he said, “but we’ve had plenty of days now.”
