I'm more embarrassed by the university as a whole for some time, check their graduate school statistics, they seem much more interested in other states kids than Kentucky's

So, they just didn't need a coach at all, eh? Just throw five guys out there and let 'em play streetball.

 

Pitino isn't now and wasn't then a good enough XOs guy to have won with that cast of characters.

You don't know that or what he would have done with them. He and Tubby are both gone and will not be back so we should move on and forget both of them. No one knows what would have happened because it didn't happen. This Tubby stuff is like someone dying. You either are sad or happy, have some time thinking about it and move on with life. The same applies here,let's move on with life and what is going on now.:ohbrother:

I've had plenty of years of observation of both coaches to where I have a pretty good handle on each's relative strengths as opposed to the other. Pitino's strong suit is not coaching up overachievers, whereas that's right up Tubby's wheelhouse. I'm by no means alone in the belief Pitino would have come nowhere close to winning a title with the 98 group.

To be honest it really should take 2 years to be your team 3 to be your recruiting "your own players" and 4 to be all yours. You cant take someones coaching job and do good with them and expect people to think your a dominate coach "at least not to me" but thats just what i think. What do you think it takes for a coach to be considered playing with his own?

 

Each coach has his own style. Pitino and Tubby do not have the same style. Mine is 1 year.

Well i mean say what you want, but who won it in 96' PITINO!! who got runner up in 97' PITINO!!, The only reason that those boys won it in 98' was because of Pitinos recruiting. Yes Tubby was coaching them but he wouldint of had that team if it wasant for Pitino!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ok, well bottom line is...Kentucky isint very good, fans have the right to do what they want, they pay $40 and higher to watch them play good, not pass up shots and loose 3 games straight!!! :ohbrother:

Excellent points!

We, as students, all paid a whopping five dollars... The players aren't supposed to shoot the first decently open shot, that isn't how it works.

lol well i dont think any shot that kentucky takes right now is the right one. HAHA.

And it has nothing to do with the players or how the team is playing. I am embarassed to be a fan because UK Fans (at least alot of them) are embarassing. It almost takes the fun out of going to Rupp for a game, and I think it has gotten much worse this season as compared to seasons in the past.

 

UK fans yell at Porter, Galloway, Miller and others to shoot during the games, instead of run an offense. They want them to take every halfway-open look that they have. And I am not just talking about a few people, almost the whole arena is yelling, making it loud enough that you would think the shot clock is running low. Our players have TONS of pressure on them already and some of the players that I have named seem to lack confidence in their shot. So why put more pressure on them by yelling when they are doing what the coach says?

 

People yelling at our players makes me really angry. Booing when they walk off the court at Halftime (in the Miss St. Game) in just crazy. Booing and Cussing at Michael Porter and other players (I think Porter takes the brunt of it) is just uncalled for. They are kids and trying to do their best and the coach obviously has them in for a reason. You yelling does nothing but make the players lose confidence in themselves and their ability. It doesn't make things better at all and it sure doesn't change anything.

 

So for all of you fans out there who want to be negative and cause trouble, keep your mouth shut. You should cheer for anyone wearing "KENTUCKY" across their chest, even if they are playing bad or aren't as talented as you think they should be. But I can tell you one thing, they are much better than you are and you have no right to cuss them out or boo them because they missed a shot or turned the ball over. Try having 24,000 people yelling at you while you do your job and see if you are perfect!!!:madman:

 

I like the premise of your thread. Unfortunately, those that are not among the KY fanbase try to dominate any thread that they feel has a negative opening.

 

I have been embarrassed by the Ky fanbase for the past few years myself. I was embarrased by the treatment that Tubby received before, and am embarrassed by some, on the treatment that BCG is receiving now.
