February 26, 200719 yr Not me either....Sounds like Tubby still has a big majority of supporters, at least according to this thread....
February 26, 200719 yr you really are uneducated on this subject. We werent even in his top FIVE. Contrary to what you and the other 18% may think, we werent even really in the picture. And it had NOTHING to do with style of play. http://www.courier-journal.com/blogs/catsfan/2005/09/brandan-wright-comments-on-uk-visit.html He says right there we were top 5. It says too that he really liked KY, we were in his top five, the slate was clean, yet we were never in the picture? It was probably Rondo or the Strength coaches fault...... Oh wait.....18% The 18% still think UK is Final Four bound and OTS is about to turn iot around. When PP, JL don't commit and RM heads elsewhere the 18% will say they were part of the problem (Rondo/S&C Coach 2006). Oh I have more for ya..... http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_km4469/is_200612/ai_n17023532 "They tend to slow it down a little more than we try to slow it down," said Wright, a 6-foot-9 McDonald's All-American from Nashville. Kentucky plays more "in a set offense. I was looking more for the open court." In High School he'd get rebounds and dribble it up the court himself. He's a very good ball handler for a big guy. He's also extremely athletic and fast. Why would a slow down 60 point a game be to his liking?????????? 18%er................................................Read an article or two before you post false information and call names.
February 26, 200719 yr I am amazed at the level of support for Tubby on here...some of you guys drank the Kool-Aid and went back for seconds. Double digit losses (again), excruciating to watch on offense (again), unranked (when was the last time UK wasn't ranked when Butler, Texas A & M and others were ranked practically the whole season?????) and yet you don't want to hold the head man accountable??? Unbelieveable...

February 26, 200719 yr Medicrity?????????? I'm not even going to go through this all again. We have done this in so many threads. Everyone knows where people stand and there reason. I guess we just have to wait it out and see what happens.:thumb:

Give it up! Tubby did what was right... wright is one and done player.
February 26, 200719 yr Folks, lets be honest, UK has become, in every sense of the work, an "average" program and there is nothing on the horizon that I can see that's going to change that. It's so painfully obvious, it's ridiculous. If that's what everyone wants then so be it. The time for a change began last year. I still say it's fast evolving into a Bill Curry situation. I agree Tubby will not be fired, but I hope he is man enough to realize it's just not working and works out a mutually agreeable arrangement to step aside in some manner.
February 26, 200719 yr We'll if ya do fire Tubby make sure they sign Patterson and Lucas first. Without him they wont even bother coming.
February 26, 200719 yr We'll if ya do fire Tubby make sure they sign Patterson and Lucas first. Without him they wont even bother coming. Barnhart would NEVER fire Tubby!
February 26, 200719 yr Not saying I'm proud or happy with the past 2 years, and I don't know enough to say whether UK would or would not ever do it, but I personally would not fire Tubby at this point. There is a reasonable rationale for all of our troubles at this point, and all could have happened if Izzo, K, Donovan, Williams, Knight or whomever was at the helm.

Unbelieveable... AS i watched the end of the Vandy game in horror, I realized something . UK is a now a middle eschalon team of the SEC. They have become "us" and we have become "them".I remember not too long ago when we would be dominant when the game was on the line as well as come back from behind---and the other teams expected it to happen. Now we just hope Vandy wont beat us 5 times in row.And no--this just didnt happen. I dont know if Tubby should be fired but I do honestly believe it would be best for both if they went different ways at the end of the season. The wheels are falling off and if they lose to georgia or the first round of the SEC tournament they will be in a whirlwind.
February 26, 200719 yr Who is with me? You all got to realize there is NO CHANCE that Tubby will get fired after this season at UK. The only way Tubby is gone after this season is if he decides to step aside on his own...
