Tubby recruited some good players to UK.
That is not the issue. Tubby had some
real success at UK. That is not the issue.
Tubby will win a lot of games at Minnesota.
That is not the issue. Yet, the truth is
the truth: the UK program was slipping,
overall fan interest was dropping, the
excitement level at Rupp Arena was palpably
declining, the quality of recruits was
free falling. It is one thing to be
a quality coach at Georgia, at Tulsa,
at Minnesota...where twenty wins and a
Round of 32 exit excite the fan base; it
is another at UK, which is, was, and
will be again, a PREMIER program. I can't
really see how this is all that debateable.
