February 28, 200719 yr We definitely could use a PG who could score, but I just have some really strong doubts as to whether Lucas would see the floor for any significant time next year with all the more experienced guards ahead of him considering Tubby's track record in that regard. Especially if we land Patterson...if Patterson was there we would have a legit scoring threat at the 4, meaning the PG would be our only weak position and Jasper's lack of offense wouldn't be such a glaring weakness, IMO. His lack of scoring is magnified right now because we don't have a scoring threat from the 4 spot either, which basically puts us at 3 on 5 at the offensive end (Crawford, Bradley and Morris). I hope we get to find out...:thumb: Well the thing that probably could get Tubby to have a change in his ways, is how the last two years have gone so far. If Lucas shows up and shows he is a smart basketball player, unlike the 04ers we got. I really think he would play alot, because it seems Tubby is fed up with these guys who just make all these dumb mistakes and play with no heart...

I really believe that they don't give a crap. Hopefullly another good recruiting class like this past year just might put them on the bench.
February 28, 200719 yr Do you know Rick Bozich? Have you met him? Have you ever talked sports with him? Not only is Rick Bozich an IMMENSELY talented writer when he's on his game, Rick Bozich knows sports. He's nationally respected for a reason. Heck, he's in Gil Thorpe for crying out loud. This post is way off. I had to make the post quickly so my list of guys I liked wasnt complete. I really respect Clark Kellogg, Len Elmore, etc. I have read a lot of Bozich's article. And I simply do not care much for him. What has he done to give him credibility? Its easy for some little journalism major to set on his high chair and choose an opinion and make hiself look good. The fact is opinions like Bozich's do not amount to a hill of beans. Being a good writer does not make you an expert on sports.

February 28, 200719 yr Author And yet another one of many threads with the same subject after a loss. :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :sleep: :lol: I am not sure but I think this makes about 6 since the Vandy game. Get rid of the 12 sleep smilies and wake up...shoot the messenger all you want but the UK program is a mess...It will be fixed, despite people like you who don't mind losing...:creepy:

BTW, this isn't a thread with the same subject...this thread is about the state's major newspaper calling for Tubby to leave...which is HUGE...sorry to bother you, but I'll let you get back to sleep...:laugh: I hope the UK program can weed out all the people who don't mind losing. There are plenty of losing programs out there that will welcome you with open arms.
February 28, 200719 yr Author Bozich is dead on tonight/ :thumb: And anyone with a lick of sense knows he has hit the nail on the head, and realizes he has the guts to say what needs to be said...

Hey, Im not happy with the way the team has played for the past 2 years. We are better than last year though, thats obvious. Last yeat we laid down and quit a few times. Now I truly believe Tubby Smith can straighten things out. If we get Patterson and Lucas things are looking very bright for the future. Anyone with any basketball sense can say that at times Tubby has done a great job with his teams and at times teams havent lived up to what is expected from a UK basketball team. Im sorry, but Bozich's opinion does not matter to anyone with any influence on Tubby staying or going.

Bozich's opinion echoes what is being said all over the BBN...I've looked at your posts and cannot find one person with worse predictions on UK basketball than you...you should listen to people in the know...

February 28, 200719 yr I can't say I disagree with Bozich. This would be a perfect opportunity for Tubby and Kentucky to part ways gracefully before it gets really bad around here.
March 1, 200719 yr No, Bozich being an expert on sports makes him an expert on sports. What makes him an expert? What has he done? Tubby Smith has won a national championship, as has Pitino. And this guy gets to criticize and critique 2 great coaches everyday. I have read several of his columns and while I admire his writing skills his opinion means nothing to me and anyone whos actually involved firsthand in the sport.
