That would make him 71? Hmmmmm......
I think it's a good time to piss off everybody. Tubby was a great bench coach, but he couldn't recruit. I don't believe he ever really tried to recruit. I resented him for a long time because he basically fled Lexington and even the press didn't know about it. UK fans were livid and wanted a good recruiter. Well, they got one. UK and their fans are living exactly what they asked for. We are a prepping ground for the pros. School pride has nothing to do with it and sometimes teamwork will go out the window.
I got over my resentment because I really don't know what all went on that made Tubby leave so quickly and quietly. My daughter lived close to them when they were in Lexington, and I can tell you that Mrs. Smith was a outstanding woman. She was highly active in all community activities. She was at my grandchildren's elementary school a couple times every week to read to them, and speak about various subjects. I've listened to her many many times. She had NO problem with correcting the kids that needed correcting. And it didn't make a difference to her what their last name was. She treated every kid the same, and I like to think that's how she raised her kids.
UK and their fans got exactly what they said they wanted with Cal. And their still getting it. Gone are the days of 4 year players and senior leadership. Gone is the school pride and teamwork, unless of course that teamwork will propel an individual. What's worse is that this type of bull crap is being started at the high school level. Makes you wonder how many of a team is actually FROM the community that they represent on the gym floor.
