Billy Gillispie, the coach for Texas Tech men's basketball, is about to lose his job after the players revolted complaining about abuse and over practice amongst other indiscretions listed below:
— Since Billy has been at Texas Tech, 15 players have left prematurely.
— During his 18 months in Lubbock, over 30 members of the program, including staffers, have departed.
— One player was required to practice with stress fractures in both legs.
— Players often had to go for more than 20 hours a week (the NCAA limit) and at times had practices of over four hours in a row. One practice lasted over 8 hours.
— “The team’s star player, Jordan Tolbert, cut his hand on the rim one day last year in practice and suffered a four-inch gash across his fingers. The next day, according to one source, Gillispie had the trainer bandage his hand and then instructed Tolbert to dunk the ball every time he caught it.”
— Before every game, Billy Clyde would require everyone involved with the team, including tv and radio announcers, to do a layup drill and if they missed, they had to run the steps of the arena. Tom Leach and Mike Pratt thankfully did not have to deal with that.

you are just insecure and defensive like most UKfans and try to draw moral equivellancy to make yourselves feel better.
