ah hell with it man, leave Tubby there. I guess 22-10 is the new standard at UK. And people can say what they want about Pitino, he brought a program back from the dead, went to THREE final fours, and two national championships, winning one, and done it in six seasons (the 89-90 and 90-91 teams were on probation), which is a hell of a lot more than Tubby fans can say he's done in 9 seasons, oh yeah, inheriting the absolute best position in the country. Those are the only numbers that matters. Final fours and championships are the only numbers that matter. Yes, Tubby represents the university very well, off the court, and I absolutely DO NOT hold anything against his character because he is a class act, second to none. However, I do not think he is the man who should be fronting UK. Im not a Tubby basher, and I would rather have him than 80% of the coaches out there. But UK shouldnt settle for a "good coach". They deserve better. No, UK will not be getting rid of him, and no matter what petitions are out there to sign, he'll be on the sidelines next year and the years to follow. Doesnt mean the fans have to like it though.

:thumpsup: I agree with you 100%. Tubby is a good coach and a class act. But he isn't the best coach and he isn't the best recruiter and that is a big part of today's game. He also isn't the greatest motivator (as can be seen from our players' performance most of the time). But with a great contract like he has, why would he leave? And don't look for the UK Athletic Dept. to buy him out either. It won't happen. I personally would like to see a change, but it will likely be a while before we get one.
