You remember Scott Rigot right? You know…the UK assistant coach known for his connections overseas who managed to pull not one international recruit and was the punchline of nearly every joke made by a UK player in the last five years. Well guess what. That guy GOT ANOTHER JOB! It takes some bit of talent to leave the University with the greatest basketball tradition in the country and having finished working for a coach respected by his peers on both the college and NBA level and find a way to not be hired by anyone in the country….but Rigot managed to do that! Not only did Tubby decide not to take him to Minnesota (a statement in itself), but no one even pulled a South Florida and took him after the Tubster bolted town. But now someone has. DUQUESNE….the Atlantic 10 team that no one knows is even in the conference has hired Rigot as an assistant coach, where he will immediately go to work not bringing in recruits and setting a conference record for “most times looking perplexed on the sideline.” We here at Kentucky Sports Radio wish Scott well and thank Duquesne University for helping keep one of our former coaches off the street.
In memoriam for Scott’s time here, one of our favorite posts from the pass…..our report on Rigot’s Bluegrass 10,000 Performance.…an oldie, but a goodie.

I’ve got to give it up on this one (I haven’t logged in here in forever), but “Going to work immediately not bringing in recruits” was classic.

The only thing Scott Rigot will probably be ever remembered for is looking like an even creepier version of Tom Izzo.

Didn’t UK get Woo or Shagaris after a little battle with Duquesne?
I say good for Scott. Tubby started fresh in Minn. (except looking back to this past). Blaming Rigot for anything bad at UK now just sounds like sour grapes. Let’s move forward.

What do you mean by,”punchline of nearly every joke made by a UK player in the last five years”
What were some of the jokes?
May 30th, 2008 at 3:25 pm
I’m happy for a man that once try to help UK win basketball games.
Good for him and his family.

This guy is a putz’s putz.
Good riddance, Scotty and thanks for nothing.

So, the question begs, why didn’t OTS get rid of this butt-end of the players-jokes clown?
May 30th, 2008 at 3:54 pm
Man, dogging the guy out, geez!

I always thought it was interesting to hear other coaches and administrators gush about how great of a coack Tubby was but they wouldn’t touch one of his assistants with a 10 foot pole. Compare Tubby’s coaching tree with any other premier coach’s tree and it is not very impressive.
