Pitino coached a different team at a time of other teams were better. Maybe Tubby's team was more mature, or better with the recruits that Pitino brought in. Funny, they owe me nothing, but the reason that success is so sweet is because the public (I'm in there) buys UK's products and supports them, watches the games, etc. College basketball has become more about success for the public more than for the school. If we support UK as hard as we do, then they do owe us the best teams and coaches to get victories.

Your first statement doesn't make any sense at all, and your second statement is just fishing for an excuse as to why Tubby won with that team that had lost 3 of its top 4 scorers.

You along with any other Joe Fan may buy gear to a program that doesn't mean they owe you a Championship. It doesn't mean anything. Until you make a contribution that actually leads to UK's success then you are owed nothing in return. You have done nothing to promote or encourage success at the program therefore you are owned nothing in return except being able to watch the game of basketball. A coach that averaged 26 wins and 8 losses a season is not bad at any program including UK which is overhyped in many over the fans' minds. We are on the same tier as other programs including UCLA and UNC. UK is not above the game of college basketball and therefore the fans aren't either.

I can't argue any further about why I think Tubby's jersey will be retired because I've said it enough. Everything is beginning to be moot point now as the same things are being said over and over. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
