Yep... I talked to plenty of dudes that play at SMU that can't stand him...
And I think he gets waaaaay too much credit for the kids he recruited at UNC...
He's just a bad basketball coach...

So now do UK fans think that Tubby Smith being let go was a pretty stupid move?

I thought it was stupid back then.
I didn't think he was great, but didn't think he was terrible.

Yeah SKA I knew your opinion already

More or less stating an assumed obvious fact.

I didn't think it was a bad move then, and still don't think it was a bad move. Tubby's time had ran it's course.

Billy G. gets 6 mil and he'll go to Arizona and probably dominate without being under the pressure that comes with the UK job. I don't feel too bad forhim.

I'm hope this isnt true thatFord is gonna be the next head coach, might have to turn in my blue and white if this happens.
will be announced by Tuesday of next week. Also a former walkon at UK will be one of his lead asst coaches. I know who it is as this is wherethe info came from but I do not want to say his name. But write it down the new coach at UK will be Ford.
Other news... Pitino was contacted by UK boosters and asked to name his price. Pitino said he is too old for the job and wants to retire at UL. They askedabout Donovan but RP said Ford would be better. Apparently Pitino advised BD not to take the job because leaving Fla for a rival school would tarnish hisaaccomplishments at Fla. RP did it by going to UL and said it was very tough for him and his family so he advised BD against going to UK.
I will release the name of the source after Ford is announced as coach but the reason is because the former walkon who is going to be Ford's top asst hasconnections to RP. Some of you may figure it our based on that clue. This is what I am hearing and we should all know by Tues of next week.

Why the hell would they ask the inter-state rival coach (Pitino) about who the best choice would be?
"Soooo... name your price. We want you back in Lexington."
"No. I'm good here."
"Well, do you have any names for us on who you think would be a great coach for us?"
"Yes. My 7-year-old nephew. Dude knows the Xs and Os of the game like you wouldn't believe."
And why would Pitino tell Donovan that leaving one school to coach a rival of the previous school would be in bad form?
Yes, I know he went from UK to theCeltics to Louisville, but still... he coached UK in recent history, and now coaches a rival school.
A lot of things confuse me about what you just dropped.

Nah, I wasn't saying I don't believe you, so I apologize if I may have come across like that.
I was just responding to what you said; not saying I didn't believe you.
And yeah, I read through it too fast the first time and missed the part where it states that Pitino was basically like 'Listen, I left UK and went to arival school, and it's not easy, Billy. Don't do it.'

It's cool i didn't want to come accross like Iwas the source reporting it. But tha Pitino part is pretty intriguing to me, I can see where he's coming from.

that report about Ford and Pitino that was posted on catspause is complete horse *+@%...don't believe it for one second. Lee Todd (UK Pres.) and MitchBarnhart (A.D.) weren't even at UK when Pitino was here. not saying that Ford might not be the next UK coach, but you can't believe for one secondthat Rick Pitino is going to have any kind of influence on the next coach at UK. come on.
it's sounding more and more like it's gonna be Donovan or Ford.
Pat Forde was just on Mike and Mike, he said that the firing of Gillispie is likely to be made official this afternoon. Gotltieb asked him if he had to bethis salary on who was going to be the next UK coach, who would it be...and Forde said Travis Ford.
for those who don't know, Forde worked for the courier-journal (Louisville newspaper) for years before getting his gig at ESPN. he aslo said that hetalked to Pitino two weeks ago about the Arizona job and that there had been some communication between Zona and Pitino, but there's zero chance thatPitino goes there.
and for the last time, Tubby Smith was not fired or asked to resign, he left on his own.
you guys want to just go ahead and make this the "College Basketball Off-Season Thread"?

this vid is awesome, probably more appreciated by me, but still
i've never seen that news lady before, that's why that Jon Stewart comment is so good.

Coaches not even gettin two years now
Stuff is outta control, Kentucky is like Notre Dame and some other schools where they have fallen behind, it goes in cycles, but some in control don't wantto admit it. This isnt 1996.
Im not even sayin Billy did much when he was there, im saying this is the guy you canned Tubby Smith for and you hand pick him (greatest program in the world,we should be able to pick anyone we want) and then you give him two years and he's out
