UK did offer him a raise but he just wanted to go back to MSU. Sounds like he was happy to go back but Ron Polk the retiring coach wasnt happy at all to see him get the job. Polk wanted his long time assistant to get the job and he has been very verbal in letting everyone know that. Polk said he is having his name removed from the stadium and he is removing the school from his will. I do think Henderson will do a great job. Oregon State won back to back national title with a lot of talent Henderson helped bring there and I know he has had a lot to do with getting the high level of talent to UK.

I know that Coach Cohen has done a remarkable job turning the Kentucky program around, but Coach Henderson is the primary person responsible in getting the recruits to UK. I had a pretty good relationship with Coach Henderson on the pitcher side of things, as he initaly came to UK as the pitching coach. I have no doubt that he will be able still bring in the pitching recruits , but the thing that UK will have to still have to be able to maintain, recruit, and develope those high powered offensive players. Cohen does a fantastic job in the hitting department. Be interesting to see who Henderson can get to coach that aspect of the game as his assistant.
