1. EGO. They are Kentucky, they have all the money, and with their money they can buy anyone. Guess what, No for the coach at UCONN, NO coach from Baylor and they are relegated to has been college coaches of the NBA or BYU coach. They are blown to the fact, that coaches would snub UK. 2. BYU coach. I wonder if that is a culture fit. (its sorta like Bronco at UVA). The culture of UK is bourbon, wealthy horse farms, and race track. You know it is mandatory he attend and participate with the high rollers at the Derby. 3. The Kentucky fan base, is the reason or this, over the top expectations, and putting so much on the program.

When Coach cal left for a lower paying job at Arkansas, he said big reason was the culture and atmosphere at Ky was real poisoning. (Now we can debate his role in this, however, the point is money cant always guarantee success.
