February 27, 200719 yr CatsPause is reporting that Barnhart issued a press release about the state of UK basketball today. He urged fans to wait to judge until after the season. It also stated that the letter "fell short of the usual vote of confidence". I'm not a paid member so I can't read the rest of the story. Any Cat fans on BGP have any additional details?
February 27, 200719 yr Like another post, yesterday another station in Washington DC reported that D'antoni will take the job and bring his Suns staff with him. He and his wife are both from WV and his wife wants to be closer to home. Whether this happens or not, I have no idea. Word is, his brother, an assit. for the Suns, will be here earlier.

I heard about this on the news. They said he said that the administration, coaches, and players were disappointed in the season and they would wait until after the post season to "evaluate" the program. Interesting comments.

In what capacity?

It didn't say much. Just trying to slow down the wild fire...
February 27, 200719 yr It didn't say much. Just trying to slow down the wild fire... I don't think it helped.:lol: :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame: :flame:
February 27, 200719 yr It didn't say much. Just trying to slow down the wild fire... Impossible now. BBN is about to go nuclear.
February 27, 200719 yr Things are about to get extremely interesting... I'd say it is already interesting. I hope for everyone involved that the issues can be resolved and Tubby can ride off with some dignity. Unfortunately the UK fan base will be over criticized but the bottom line is that Smith is no longer effective in his current position.
February 27, 200719 yr I just went through this with our football program...Free advice to all who is interested. There was a light at the end of the tunnel and it wasn't an approaching train.

Unfortunately the UK fan base will be over criticized but the bottom line is that Smith is no longer effective in his current position. And rightfully so IMO. UK's fan base as a whole seems to think that their entire lives revolve around Kentucky basketball. IMO that's embarrassing and pathetic, but that's just me.
February 27, 200719 yr And rightfully so IMO. UK's fan base as a whole seems to think that their entire lives revolve around Kentucky basketball. IMO that's embarrassing and pathetic, but that's just me. And don't forget they are more knowledgable as well.

February 27, 200719 yr And don't forget they are more knowledgable as well. I've said for 3-4 years now, as much as I love UK basketball, I absolutely hate the fan base. On the bright side, it has made me more of a "pure" college basketball fan than before.

IMO that's embarrassing and pathetic, but that's just me. I really don't get this. You can't have it both ways. When UK goes to Alaska, Hawaii, CATlantana we all beat our chest about the way the program is supported and claim to have the most loyally fan base in the country. Yet when the same fanatical base wants excellence then their embarrassing and pathetic. It comes down to this. Tubby Smith has failed to make the necessary changes in the program to keep it on top. When he eventually resigns, whether this year or in the future then the national media will barbecue the UK fan base.
