Gillispie leaves Todd's mansion after brief meeting

University of Kentucky basketball coach Billy Gillispie left UK President Lee Todd's campus mansion without comment Friday afternoon after meeting with Todd and Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart for about 18 minutes.

A driver in a green Chevy Silverado with Texas license plates and a Texas A&M decal on the window dropped Gillispie off at Maxwell Place about 2 p.m. The same vehicle picked Gillispie up and drove away at 2:18 p.m.

Barnhart left the mansion about 10 minutes later. He declined to comment about the meeting, which officials have indicated would be about Gillispie's future as coach of the UK Wildcats. Todd remained in the house as of 2:40 p.m.

Barnhart arrived at Wildcat Lodge at 2:35 p.m., presumably to explain to the UK players gathered there the outcome of his meeting with Gillispie.
