RANGER, Texas -- Former Kentucky basketball coach Billy Gillispie retired Wednesday, citing health concerns as he stepped aside as coach at a Texas junior college.The 57-year-old Gillispie said in a text message to The Dallas Morning News that hes been battling high blood pressure since the summer. The former Texas A&M and Texas Tech coach said he is following the advice of doctors by leaving early in his second season at Ranger College.Gillispie was a rising star in the coaching profession after quick rebuilding jobs at UTEP and Texas A&M, leading to the Kentucky job in 2007.He was fired after two seasons when the Wildcats missed the NCAA Tournament for the first time in 17 years. The West Texas native took the Texas Tech job following a two-year hiatus that included a stint at John Lucas substance-abuse program in Houston following Gillispies third arrest for drunken driving in 10 years.The Red Raiders won just one Big 12 game in Gillispies only season, and he resigned shortly before the start of his second season, citing health concerns amid allegations of player mistreatment. Texas Tech later admitted to violations of practice rules under Gillispie.Ranger went 31-7 in Gillispies only full season, reaching the national junior college tournament before forfeiting all the wins because of an ineligible player.Timing isnt great, but Ive decided to do what I was told and try to return to healthy ASAP, Gillispie said. Ive had a wonderful career and in the last two years some of the best days Ive ever experienced as a coach. I hate leaving this team because they are really coming around, but they understood me being sick.Gillispie has an eight-year record of 148-108 in his four NCAA stints.---More AP college basketball: www.collegebasketball.ap.org and https://twitter.com/AP-Top25 cheap nfl jerseys .

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. -- Arkansas quarterback Austin Allen wasnt even watching Hunter Henrys heave that led to a fourth-and-25 conversion -- and eventual win -- against Mississippi a year ago.Razorbacks coach Bret Bielema saw the desperate lateral, which eventually led to the 53-52 overtime win over the Rebels , but hed prefer something less dramatic this time around.If we could make it less wild and be effective, Id like that, Bielema said.Bielema might get the result he wants when No. 22 Arkansas (4-2, 0-2 Southeastern Conference) tries for its third straight win over No. 12 Ole Miss (3-2, 1-1) on Saturday night, but good luck convincing anyone another shootout isnt in the works.Thats thanks in large part to the presence of Allen and Chad Kelly of the Rebels, the SECs top two quarterbacks in passing efficiency halfway through the season.Kellys play this season has hardly been a surprise following his breakout first go-round as the starter for Ole Miss a year ago. Allen, meanwhile, entered the season as a relative unknown outside of Arkansas after serving as his older brothers backup the last two seasons -- including for last years shootout in Oxford.The junior has done everything the Razorbacks have asked of him and more in his first season as the starter, leading the SEC in touchdown passes with 15 and throwing for 400 yards in a 49-30 loss to No. 1 Alabama a week ago. And hes done so despite being under considerable pressure behind an offensive line still trying to establish itself after replacing three starters from a year ago.I feel like I am watching the same guy, Ole Miss coach Hugh Freeze said, comparing Allen to his older brother, Brandon. I think they are extremely accurate, extremely tough, have a great understanding of defenses. The ball goes to the right spot, its accurate. Just a really good player.Some things to watch for as the Razorbacks try to win three straight over the Rebels for the first time since winniing four in a row from 2004-07:CONSISTENT KELLY: Kelly has thrown a touchdown pass in 18 straight games, which is the longest streak in school history and tied for the fifth-longest active streak in the nation.dddddddddddd Kellys favorite target this season is tight end Evan Engram, who has caught 30 passes for 479 yards.SACKED LINE: Arkansas allowed six sacks and 12 quarterback hurries against the Crimson Tide last week, and the Razorbacks have given up 13 sacks on the season -- one less than they gave up in each of the last two seasons. They face another difficult pass rusher on Saturday in Ole Miss junior defensive end Marquis Haynes, who has three sacks through five games as well as three quarterback hurries.REBELS START FAST: Ole Miss has outscored opponents 55-6 in the first quarter and 131-40 in the first half so far this season. The Rebels have had a halftime lead in all five of their games. Ole Miss has just a 3-2 record because the second half hasnt been nearly as good -- opponents have outscored the Rebels 108-77 after halftime.OPTIONAL DEFENSE: Arkansas is 63rd in the country in total defense, allowing 398.2 yards per game, after surrendering 517 yards (10.1 yards per play) against Alabama a week ago. The Rebels arent much better off, ranking 102nd while allowing 449.4 yards per game.INJURED GREENLAW: The already-reeling Razorbacks defense suffered a key loss when weakside linebacker Dre Greenlaw injured his right foot against Alabama last week and had surgery on Monday. The sophomore, who is second on Arkansas with 37 tackles, is expected to miss 4-to-6 weeks with the injury, and freshman DeJon Harris and junior Dwayne Eugene will take his place.---AP Sports Writer David Brandt in Oxford, Mississippi, contributed to this report.---Online:College Football: http://collegefootball.ap.org ' ' '
