I didn't say it said he was unhappy only that if he isn't then hit the road or if he can't handle the heat get out of the kitchen. Thats UK basketball always has been and always will be. I just think its funny other than locally you would never see the man anywhere. I mean he would very rarely even give the halftime interview in nationally televised games and when he did you could tell he didn't like it. But now that the seat is getting hot he's on every sports show that will have him pleading his case. I really pulled for him at UK even into this year because while I was looking threw those rose colored glasses and thinking that they only wanted him out due to skin color he has either continued to bring the program down due to coaching ability or what I think is a loss of desire on his part. I still think most want him gone due to skin color and not the W's or the L's. But even you have to admit we have a major problem right now and maybe its not his fault but I'm sure he isn't the solution. And yes I think he won and deserves the national title. Pitino had even better players the year before when he lost to Arizona.

I'm no fun of Tubby, but he done a great job on this interview handling himself and the pressure. He could have ripped into the fans but praised them for filling up Rupp Arena and even said how much he loves Kentucky. He wasn't complaining about the pressure at UK, and he never said he couldn't handle it so I don't know where you see that. He just said it comes with ANY job.

As far as Tubby never being on National Shows, this is 3 years in a row he has been on PTI. They always talk to most coaches around this time.

I think the program needs a new direction as well but I can't say a bad word about how he handled himself on PTI today.
