March 7, 200719 yr Black coach run out by racist fan base. Like it or not, it would be used, and often... I would look at it more like, fans put too much pressure on the kids, if you don't go to the Final Four every year than the season was a failure, things like that.
March 7, 200719 yr Tubby didn't forget how to coach, he forgot how to recruit. Hopefully he is learning how to land some big ones again.
March 7, 200719 yr Billy D had similar things to say about the Tubster If I was a coach in the SEC or any other D1 school I would say not to fire Tubby also. Heck give him another 4 year deal.
March 7, 200719 yr Tubby didn't forget how to coach, he forgot how to recruit. Hopefully he is learning how to land some big ones again. He did land the "big ones" with this junior class. He needs to go get the type of players he wants, the hard workers like he had a lot of success with.
March 7, 200719 yr First time I have agreed w/a Pitino statement in a long time, but he got this one right!
March 7, 200719 yr I agree with Ricks comments as well that Tubby needs to stay. Maybe Tubby can call Rick and thank him for the endorsement, and while in the conversation, maybe he can pick his mind on how to play a more running style game on offense.
March 7, 200719 yr Black coach run out by racist fan base. Like it or not, it would be used, and often... Your exactly right.
March 7, 200719 yr That's usually the case... :lol: UCONN winning it all isn't looking too promising.
March 7, 200719 yr UCONN winning it all isn't looking too promising. Nope. Cuse had a big run and they just can't seem to answer. Plenty of chances as well...
March 7, 200719 yr Black coach run out by racist fan base. Like it or not, it would be used, and often... And not far from being true. As much as some of the UK faithful don't want to admit it or to believe it. It is true. I heard several racist comments made just yesterday about OTS and some of the players. I am out and about quiet often and hear racist remarks fairly often. :fire:
March 7, 200719 yr Author I could see a very long term set back if he leaves. Other coaches would salivate at the recruiting tool it would provide against UK... This is exactly what Pitino was saying...He was getting ready to comment alot more and they ran out of time and had to cut him off...After they did, Greeny made the comment that it was too bad they ran out of time, because he was very interested in what spin Rick P had to put on it....

I don't know if you've noticed it or not, but UK hasn't had the best luck at recruiting of late. Don't know how getting rid of Tubby would change that at all.
