I wish him all the best at Kentucky, and I'm not at all surprised he's doing well there. He's smart, personable and knows basketball very well. I would have been surprised if he HADN'T done well there.
He moved back to his alma mater when they offered him his dream job. I'm glad he got the shot and I hope he succeeds spectacularly well there. I'd be happy to see him as the next Dean Smith or Coach K.
