April 12, 200719 yr But UK measures success with titles, not Final Fours. Actually UK fans measures success based on what best helps their argument.:sssh: My dad NEVER ever uddered a word about double digit loss seasons till he began to say it was unacceptable that Tubby had back-to-back double digit loss seasons.
April 12, 200719 yr Joe B. had a .500 season, missed tournaments, and first round exits. Tubby didn't have those but didn't have two other final four apperances. Hall may have more "highs", but also more "lows" that just about equal him out with Smith.

Delk should at least be up there.
April 12, 200719 yr Why would Mashburn not be. He was the key recruit for Rick getting things turned around.
April 12, 200719 yr Joe B. had a .500 season, missed tournaments, and first round exits. Tubby didn't have those but didn't have two other final four apperances. Hall may have more "highs", but also more "lows" that just about equal him out with Smith. Joe B. still did not have as many double digit loss seasons as Tubby. And when Hall was the coach less teams were invited to the tournament. Had last season the field only consisted of 48 teams instead of 64 the Wildcats may have been on the outside looking in.
April 12, 200719 yr Why would Mashburn not be. He was the key recruit for Rick getting things turned around. Wasn't there a requirement on having received your diploma? I agree on Delk besides Mashburn.
April 12, 200719 yr If the dont put Tubby in the rafters what does that say about UK? He won a National Championship and over 75% of his games and he doesn't get put up there, WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! UK will have a real public relations prblem

That's because it very rarely happened at Kentucky until Tubby got there.

Hall may have more "highs", but also more "lows" that just about equal him out with Smith. Joe B still only lost 13 games during his .500 season, the same amount Tubby lost.
April 12, 200719 yr Joe B still only lost 13 games during his .500 season, the same amount Tubby lost. Yes be he only won 13 games as well. This could go on all day. When I look at the body of work for both of these coaches, they both get:thumb: :thumb: from me. If I had the choice, both are up there, and I hope that Billy G does what is necessary to be up there one day too.
