Roy Williams, as long as he is at North Carolina,
will put a team on the floor with tremendous
athleticism; they will NOT win a championship
every year; they will NOT be in the final four
every year; they will NOT win the ACC every
year. BUT, they will be in the hunt for all
of those things nine out of ten years. I think
that the term "Tubby hater" is unfair for a lot
of loyal UK fans who like Tubby as a man...but
who think the UK program has sort of tidal waved
his overall competence to CEO an elite program.
That's not being a "Tubby hater." It is looking
at the evidence, the direction, the recruiting pool,
the stiffening competition and concluding that UK
needs new leadership.

Roy Williams record in big games and NCAA tournaments is not that good. Outside of one season his teams have underachieved. Tubby Smith has had two sub par years by UK standards. But in his career Tubby's teams have been much better at competing for Championships than Roy's. One good recruiting class can change things in a hurry. And for the record I never used the term "Tubby hater".
