Pitino told UK fans if you run off Tubby Smith you will set your program back 5 years. Looks as if he was right.

 

Before anyone tells me the team has no talent, I want to say that is crap. He recruited kids to play his style.

 

Tubby left the following kids were on the team;

 

Crawford

Meeks

Bradley

Morris (Could have come back one more year)

Porter

Harris

Jasper

 

He was actively recruiting Patterson and Lucas.

There is enough talent on the team to be a top 25 team and compete for the SEC title.

Why place all the blame on BCG... He deserves some but he doesn't throw the ball away 20 times a game and doesn't get lost on defense.. Or miss open shots.. The guys on the team are just not that good...

This is a great post.

 

I had forgotten what Rick Pitino had said. Pretty prophetic.

Or dog tired from Billy Clyde's constant practicing and constantly being psychologically toyed with.

 

This season does need to end.

They're playing worse ball now that at the beginning of the season. Where does the fault lie for that? Have they all just gotten worse?

Pitino talks out of both sides of his mouth enough to stay prophetic.

 

Remember he also said last year to give BCG time, he was doing what he needed to do to get the program back on track.

I don't think the practice thing is a big deal; probably overblown. In fact, I haven't heard much about it this season.

 

The psychological stuff, however, might just be a big deal.

Practicing hard the day of the game is the issue.

Didn't U of L go to the NCAA final 4, then go to the NIT final 4 the next year? Things happen.. Bily needs another recruiting class and especially the 2010 class.

Does he still do this?????

Morris was already gone. He signed with the Knick in like April.

AMEN!!! Hopefully BCG is able to savor this season somehow next weekend. If not, he needs to work miracles next year! :ylsuper:

Even if BCG turns out not to be the right choice it was time for Tubby to move on.
