Unforgettable Sean Woods gets HC gig...

[WildcatRick]

Lots of little tidbits today, but the most interesting may be that Sean Woods, one of the Unforgettables from that great 1992 team, has been hired as a college head coach by Mississippi “Jerry Rice went here” Valley State. Woods has been going through the coaching ranks for a few years and is often forgotten by Kentucky fans when talking about alumni with potential to join the high coaching ranks in the future. Mississippi Valley State has played in Lexington recently and is actually one of the tougher Division I coaching jobs in America, with a long history of losing and difficulty reaching the top levels. But things have improved a bit and Woods is ready to embark on his first college head coaching job. We wish him luck and hope at some point, his team will be brought to Rupp Arena for another game.

Terry! What you said!

Congrats to Sean!

I've always liked him since he did commentary for a Berea College game on television one Saturday morning and raved and raved about my best friend, who was a star on that team.

This has been a long time coming. :thumbup:

Also, don't drive for a layup with 3 seconds on the clock when you're 3 points behind ..... remember Mississippi State? :eek:

Make sure you don't do the same mistake Pitino made in '92.
