March 23, 200719 yr You think they are already going to name the next coach? :confused: If this has really been in the works for 6 weeks you can bet they have a single target firmly in mind...
March 23, 200719 yr If this has really been in the works for 6 weeks you can bet they have a single target firmly in mind... yep, and they have a short list something like Donovan Gillispie Pitino Calipari Beilein
March 23, 200719 yr yep, and they have a short list something like Donovan Gillispie Pitino Calipari Beilein Don't forget Mr. Crean...
March 23, 200719 yr Here is what some people in the Danville area are saying. http://www.amnews.com/public_html/?module=displaystory&story_id=30215&format=html
March 23, 200719 yr I think if things get bad at UK, people will then be sorry how they treated Tubby, but if a coach comes in and pulls a Ricky P then the Tubby bashers will say I told you so. Lets just wait and see...
March 23, 200719 yr Author People need to calm down...The program will be fine. Change is just part of life and I support Tubby but I feel that change was best for Tubby and the UK Program. The UK Haters will have a good time with this but UK Basketball will be back soon....next year will be tough and would have with or without Tubby but we will get a big-time coach and we will be fine.

I agree with you 100%.
March 23, 200719 yr Has anything like this ever happened before in big time college basketball or football? A coach with a record like Tubby's leaving an elite program for a struggline major-mid...we may never see anything like this again. I mean, usually it's either to the NBA or fired...not resigning to take a position at a school like Minnesota. Just wondering if there is any precedent for this.

I know Holtz did this but he retired first.
March 23, 200719 yr I know Holtz did this but he retired first. Yeah, that's what I'm saying...I can't recall anything like this ever happening without a failed try at the NBA or a retirement or being fired...never just leaving "on his own" for a lesser program.
March 23, 200719 yr Yeah, that's what I'm saying...I can't recall anything like this ever happening without a failed try at the NBA or a retirement or being fired...never just leaving "on his own" for a lesser program. Now, I had to think about this. Parcells left New England after the Superbowl to go to the Jets who had losing record. This would be pretty close...
March 24, 200719 yr No way Billy D comes to UK. Just won't happen.... Listen to your elders!!! See you soon!!:thumb:
March 24, 200719 yr Tubby arrives in Minnesota: 'I feel the love already' http://www.sportsline.com/collegebasketball/story/10083118 I really didn't feel like looking through all of these posts so if someone has already posted this link, my bad.
