[Doc Holliday]

Here's a few 'achievements' the great coach of the nation's winningest basketball program has compiled during his tenure at KENTUCKY.....and to think there's still people out there willing to argue for his continuation as basketball coach.

*Tied the school record for consecutive years (8) not appearing in the Final Four.

*First (and only) coach to have 2 consecutive 10+ loss seasons.

*First (and only) coach to have 3 consecutive 10+ loss seasons.

*Only coach to have 10+ losses in 4 out of 7 years except the Sutton/Probation era of 1985-1990.

*First season sweep by Vandy in 30 years.

*First time losing 3 in a row to Vandy since ?.

*First loss to Ole Miss in Lexington since 1927.

*First (and only) coach to have 4 SEC losses in one year in Rupp Arena.

*First time losing four straight to an SEC opponent since 1980.

*First time losing five straight to an SEC opponent since 1977.

*Worst home loss since 1992 (105-88 to Arkansas).

*Worst Senior Day loss since 1919.

*First third place SEC finish since expansion.

*First time UK had to play on the opening day of the SEC Tournament since the league split into divisional play (1992).

*First loss in 19 semifinal appearances since the SEC revived its tournament in 1979.

*Eliminated in the second round of the NCAA tournament two of the last three years.

*Their 10-5 overall record at Rupp in 2005-06 stands as its second-worst mark in UK history, better only than going 8-6 in 1988-89.

*First coach never to have either an athletic or academic All-American.

*Two 'Team Turmoils'

*Worst number of weeks having a team ranked #1 (1).

*47% of players do not see their Senior year at UK. (17 of the 37 players Tubby has recruited have left the team for various reasons)

......and the list grows each season.

Sniper I like your list its show me two things:

First you are a true blue fan who views the program not thru blue goggles but with a keen eye.

The most troubling thing I found in your post is that 47% of his recruits havent made it to their senior year!

The reason I find it so troubling is that Tubby has said the reason he didn't go after Blue Chip players is because they wouldn't stay, that they would bolt after 2 years.

This is a quote from the CJ.
"Tubby builds his classes toward senior leadership, and I think you'll see more coaches trending that way," Barnhart said. "If a coach is genuinely concerned about the long-term stability of the program and not with selfish interests, he's going to have to bring in people who are committed to staying four years."


So why is it so low?
