Hey I get that we all love Tubby and he is certainly a great ambassador for us. However in his interviews about Coach Pope and especially Cal he makes the remark that Cal left the program in good shape ? By what standards are we talking about, he left without a single player intending to return to U K ! He hadn’t sniffed a run in the Big Dance in years and failed to win the SEC regular season or tournament in years. I suppose one could say we wasn’t on probation but isn’t that about it ? We had been reduced to a very mediocre basketball program at best. He failed on many levels to adapt to the modern style of basketball and wouldn’t adopt the use of analytics because of his own arrogance. I think Tubby is a class individual and was certainly one of the best in game coaches I’ve ever seen. However to say he left the program in good shape is a threat ? Your thoughts ?
