amen!!!



To be honest with you, I don't care for Tubby's style of basketball. I think he coachs the game similar to Eddie Sutton, I saw Rupps team push the ball, I saw Hall's team avg over 80 points a game with no 3 point shot. And then I watched Rick Pitino take it to a new level.

In all honesty I would have rather seen Kentucky hire someone with the stlye of Pitino or a Nolan Richardson who would bring some baggage but he would have brought "40 min of Hell" with him.

I actually thought that when Pitino's Cats, and Richardson's Hogs squared off, it was some of the best college games that you could ever ask for. They were fun to watch with pressure coming from both teams, and they put on a heck of a show.


Im not saying that Tubby isn't a fine man, and I think he's a good bench coach, however I dont feel he has maintained the program to the standard that we the spoiled UK fans don't expect but demand.

As far as coaching goes Im not sure Pitino would have won the National title in 98, but I would almost bet you any amount of money that a Tubby Smith team would never be able to comeback as Pitino's Cats did against LSU.
