February 28, 200719 yr Well, I have done a ton of searches...and can't find any realistic quotes form him since HH lost to Scott County. What exactly is a realistic quote? One you can believe.
February 28, 200719 yr Isn't Patterson from Kentucky? No, he is from Huntington, WV. which is right across the bridge from Kentucky.
February 28, 200719 yr No, he is from Huntington, WV. which is right across the bridge from Kentucky. Correct, Patterson's dad works in Ashland,KY as well.
February 28, 200719 yr If they are waiting, couldn't that put the job in jeopardy? Why do they want to play for a coach that doesn't run or put people in the pros? Neither is accurate.
March 1, 200719 yr What exactly is a realistic quote? One you can believe. One that the masses on here would believe...thanks.
March 1, 200719 yr If they are waiting, couldn't that put the job in jeopardy? Why do they want to play for a coach that doesn't run or put people in the pros? What are you rolling your eyes at? Wouldn't the NBA be a concern of yours if you were Patterson. That post isn't negative TBing it's valid, and raises valid questions with recruiting. By run, I assume you mean fast break; they fast break at every opportunity; Tubby even criticized them early in the season for not hustling up the floor and getting some easier opportunities. They don't press as much as they used to, but they indeed run. A coach put them in the pros????? How often does that happen? Very few players have less than stellar talent, and suddenly develop and go pro. Some do, but it certainly is not the norm for any coach. Please don't let the facts get in the way of a good argument.
March 1, 200719 yr I heard that people on here are going to post that they saw Jai with a blue K painted on his cheek during the game.
March 1, 200719 yr The only quote Ive heard that Patterson has made since the Scott Co game is that when asked what he liked about UK he said Tubby Smith and the idea of playing with Jai Lucas.
March 1, 200719 yr If they both come to UK I will again be a "Tubby Supporter." Both signing would lead me to believe UK is back on the right track with recruiting which is and always has been my biggest issue even when they were winning (not final 4's but winning). As far as "putting people in the pros".......... Tubby has had 2 first round draft picks in his UK tenure. That's 1 every five years. Stack that up with some other school. Didn't UNC have like 5 or 6 in one year? They have at least 2 on the team right now, probably 3 or 4. How can non-NBA talent compete? Simple.... It generally can't. There are exceptions, but the best players typically win more games.

Please don't let the facts get in the way of a good argument. Are you kidding? You have to be kidding. KY walks it up at every opportunity. Unless it's an uncontested lay-up they don't look to push. Look at Florida and tell me Billy D doesn't put them in the pros. Look at Pitino or Calhoun. These guys put guys in the pros. They get pro talent, then develop it to pro skill. OTS gets pro talent and (Randolph Morris, Jason Parker, and Marvin Stone). Is he directly to blame? He recruited them so he must have liked them. They all were projected first rounder picks out of high school. Yet??????????? What happened?
March 1, 200719 yr UNC had Marvin Williams, Sean May, Raymond Felton, and Reshad McCants all go in the top 15 I believe. :scared: And how can 2 first rounders in 10 years compete with that?????????? It can't and other than Meeks, nobody at UK right now even has a legitimate chance at being a first rounder.

Parker's injury really set him back to go a long with his off the court issues thereafter.
March 1, 200719 yr Neither is accurate. UK doesn't run, and Tubby turns out very few pros. I'd say both are 100% accurate.
