gchs_uk9 Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 There seem to be questions about whether Tubby is really engaged in the program. Those same questions were raised at Kentucky, Minnesota, and Texas Tech. I'm thinking they might just be true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jericho Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 Tubby may have demoted him because he wanted an up tempo style to showcase the talent his kids have, which they obviously do have or else Kansas wouldnt take them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

doomer Posted April 12, 2017 Share Posted April 12, 2017 This article summarizes the issue pretty well: How Tubby Smith made a gigantic mess of Memphis' program in just one year - CBSSports.com I think that pretty much nailed it. Unfortunately, I think the closer it got to the end of the season, the farther away from Tubby these players moved...thus losing 7 of the last 8 games and the last two by 37 and 40 points respectively. I am not sure there is a team they would have beaten. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKMustangFan Posted April 13, 2017 Share Posted April 13, 2017 KJ Lawson sent out a snapchat video in which he cursed out Tubby. What a loser. He'll fit right in with the Jayhawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hellbird Posted April 16, 2017 Share Posted April 16, 2017 They sound like a couple of punks who unfortunately are being rewarded for being punks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
coldweatherfan Posted April 17, 2017 Share Posted April 17, 2017 Can't remember which program I was listening to. They were saying that the Memphis area AAU talent is pretty awesome, and that Tubby has no interest in being involved in any way. The higher ups are pretty upset about his lack of interest is in the community. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NKY Bandit Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Blame it on Tubby if you wish. However, the manner in which these kids left Memphis would be enough for some coaches to think twice about taking them. This is Kansas though. They will take anyone if they think it helps them keep their conference winning streak alive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
