Statistically, Tubby Smith is a great coach. He is 241-71 with UK. He's won a National Title, 1 Final Four, 4 Elite Eights, and 8 Sweet Sixteens. He's captured 5 SEC Conference Championships and 5 SEC Tournament Championships. He's been named National Coach of the Year 3 times, and had the #1 Recruiting Class of 2004. All of this is great! But there are a few problems...UK fans don't want Elite Eights and Sweet Sixteens, we want Final Fours and National Championships! We haven't had either since 1998, nearly 10 years. The recruiting has been sub-par lately, and even with Rondo, Morris, Crawford, and Bradley, UK still can't do anything on the court. I'm as big a UK fan as anyone on here, and no, I'm not satisfied with the performance recently. The shooting against Florida was horrible, and the defense against Tennessee was horrible. I understand that Tubby can't go out on the court and play, but he's the guy who brings in the players who do play. I agree, there is no reason we can't land Jai Lucas or Patrick Patterson, or BOTH. We lost Thaddeus Young last year, and Chris Lofton and Corey Brewer a few years ago. I'm still optimistic about this season. They've lost 2 in a row, but there is still time to get things straight before the SEC and NCAA Tournaments. If things end this season like they did last season, then yes, Tubby should be gone. We can't keep having seasons like we've been having...2nd Round exits from the NCAA Tournament and Quarterfinal and Semifinal exits from the SEC Tournament. UK fans are too loyal and UK basketball means to much to us for the team not produce.
