The text message came late Tuesday -- a few minutes after CBSSports.com's Jeff Goodman published more allegations of Billy Gillispie's mistreatment of players.

Goodman's story detailed, among other things, how the second-year Texas Tech coach once forced someone to practice despite the presence of a stress fracture that produced pain and brought the student-athlete to tears.

"Can Billy survive?"

"I'd be surprised," are the words I typed back to the man who sent the message, and there's nothing that's happened in the past 12 hours to move me off that opinion. Gillispie is still apparently hospitalized with high blood pressure and mostly not talking. Multiple people who consider him a friend have told CBSSports.com that they've been unable to get him on the phone. I sent a text Wednesday morning seeking comment. He did not return it -- just like he hasn't returned several texts over the past six days from CBSSports.com senior writers.

But at some point Gillispie's medical issues will allow him to exit the University Medical Center in Lubbock, at which point he'll be forced to deal with this in some form … provided he isn't dealt with first. And that's really all that seems up for debate now -- whether Gillispie will be forced to resign his position before or after he leaves the hospital because his ever coaching Texas Tech again seems highly unlikely.

I mean, how could he?

Claims to be under severe stress. Checked into the Mayo Clinic in Minnesota. Maybe him and Tubby can reminisce about their UK days.
