Billy Clyde Gillispie, also known by his initials BCG, is a former American college basketball coach. Gillispie has coached the UTEP Miners, Texas A&M Aggies, Kentucky Wildcats, and most recently, the Texas Tech Red Raiders. After leading both UTEP Miners and Texas A&M Aggies to postseason appearances one year after poor seasons, Gillispie became the only college basketball coach to be in charge of the National Collegiate Athletic Association program with the biggest turnaround in two consecutive seasons. Gillispie is known as an excellent recruiter who has managed to put together four straight top-25 recruiting classes. In his three seasons at Texas A&M, the Aggies achieved three consecutive 20-win seasons for the first time in the program's history.
