According to reports, former Kentucky head coach Billy Gillispie is in urgent need of a kidney transplant.
Gillispie told the The Dallas Morning News that he has been told by doctors that he needs a new kidney “ASAP.”
Apparently, Gillispie also suffered a heart attack recently.
Here are details:
Gillispie, 58, had returned to coaching at Ranger College this season, nine months after abruptly retiring in Dec. 2016 due to health concerns caused by high blood pressure.
Ranger started this season 10-2, but Gillispie had not been on the sideline for the past three games, raising questions about his status as Ranger Community College’s men’s basketball coach and athletic director.
