While late April is the beginning of the honeymoon period for fresh hires, fans no doubt hold certain expectations for the winter: that the new coach will either breathe life into a moribund program, lift a team from major-conference mediocrity to the Final Four or maintain the school's winning tradition while somehow eclipsing his predecessor's achievements. The over-optimistic faithful would also like these things to happen immediately, if at all possible. After all, Bruce Pearl made Tennessee's turnaround look so easy ...</description><pubDate>Mon, 23 Apr 2007 11:30:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>The right Billy for the job</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/luke_winn/04/06/gillispie.kentucky/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/writers/luke_winn/04/06/gillispie.kentucky/index.html</guid><description>The three-week Kentucky coaching saga can be retraced, most easily, as a series of plans. First was the Escape Plan -- Tubby Smith's pre-emptive strike that saw him relocate to the relatively pressure-free zone of the Twin Cities before the angry mob could chase him out of Lexington. Then came UK's Plan A, which was to lure favorite son Billy Donovan and his two title rings from Gainesville with a blank check and innumerable perks. This failed, as their double-ringed savior was only a tease. Plan B was to hire Rick Barnes from Texas, and this was aborted by one or both parties, as he pulled himself out of the running. On Friday, the Wildcats went through with what was apparently Plan C, inking Texas A&amp;amp;M coach Billy Gillispie to a seven-year, $2.3 million-per deal, introducing him at a glorious pep rally and pasting his mug on two sizes of downloadable desktop wallpaper.</description><pubDate>Sat, 07 Apr 2007 00:16:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>So long, Kentucky</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/ncaa/03/22/tubby.smith/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/ncaa/03/22/tubby.smith/index.html</guid><description>Tubby Smith left the University of Kentucky basketball coaching job the same way he came in -- with class and dignity, on his own terms. He knew the time had come. He knew it was in the best interests of both himself and the program. He had lost the confidence and goodwill of fans and donors, but he wasn't going to compromise his principles just to keep the job. So he took, of all things, the Minnesota job recently vacated by Don Monson.</description><pubDate>Thu, 22 Mar 2007 22:41:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Smith leaves Kentucky for Minnesota</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/ncaa/03/22/tubby.minn/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/ncaa/03/22/tubby.minn/index.html</guid><description>With Kentucky fans dogging him after another disappointing finish, Tubby Smith is bolting the bluegrass for Minnesota.</description><pubDate>Thu, 22 Mar 2007 19:53:00 EDT</pubDate></item><item><title>Closer look: Kansas-Kentucky</title><link>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/ncaa/specials/ncaa_tourney/2007/03/18/closerlook.ku/index.html</link><guid>http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2007/basketball/ncaa/specials/ncaa_tourney/2007/03/18/closerlook.ku/index.html</guid><description>CHICAGO -- Kansas coach Bill Self can breathe easier.
