As the son of two UK graduates who spend their winter travelling the country following the team from game to game, I can tell you that they have no bad feelings towards any of their early entrants. Even a guy like Daniel Orton who really needed more time - and screwed himself by leaving when he did - gets support from UK fans. They still wish him the best and hope he succeeds.
If you transfer out of UK - that's a different story. And if you leave to coach the Celtics and then end up coaching Louisville - well let's just say that gentleman is lucky he never found himself alone in an alley with my mother. She's not a violent person, but man he would have gotten a talkin' to.
