[Observing]

The ineptitude that I am seeing here is an attempt to place Tubby Smith and Billy Gillispie on the same level. Tubby is one of a very small group of coaches to have taken three different teams to the NCAA Sweet Sixteen and he has a national title under his belt. You might want to take a look at Minnesota's RPI and then look way down the list at where Kentucky ranks. The Golden Gophers may not get an NCAA bid, but right now their chances look better than Kentucky's do.

Beyond silly. making a Tubby/BCG comparison wasn't involved here.
And it's just not apt anyway. Strictly from coaching BCG showed
in one short year he was a better teacher than Tubby, witness
Bradley and Crawford. But he was a NUTCASE that Tubby certainly
wan't.

As for comparing UMinn and Uk this season, also a totally false
paradigm. Tub's team is EXACTLY what Cal's critics keep harping on:
a deep, veteran squad. Yet as always under Tub they are falling off
the map, and have slim hopes of making the NCAA.

Cal on the other hand has a thin, inexperienced squad that lost
it's best, most important player and is still fighting to get in,
though the odds are long now. And just knowing Cal's record and
Tub's, UK has a better shot.
