How can you say he deserves it? Kentucky was a powerhouse, he won one championship, and that was with Rick's players, and then the team's gone downhill since then. No Final Fours, only two Sweet Sixteen, three Elite Eights. At Kentucky, everyone has come to expect success, and everyone deserves success- everyone deserves more than Tubby's poor coaching and poor recruiting.

You just said why he deserved it. He won a national title. I guess you decided to take a break after you said a trained monkey could win with that team yet Rick Pitino didn't win it with them. Why do you "deserve" success? What did you ever do to the program that makes you so worthy and deserving of success? UK Basketball owes you nothing, nor did Tubby Smith. I guess 3 National Titles in the last 50 years will spoil fans though right?
