According to who? You?Tubby got UGA and Tulsa to a Sweet 16. Have any of those teams been back since him? He was also familiar with UK. Tubby was more qualified than Golden is.
Yes. Did I state an opinion? Golden has gone to the tournament twice in his career. Tubby made the Sweet 16 twice with shitty programs and was a part of the Pitino coaching tree. So, yes he was more qualified according to me.According to who? You?
Yeah, Joe B was a natural fit as an assistant and Smith was the flavor of the month while at Georgia and a former assistant to Pitino. In my opinion, both very different than where Golden is and has been in his career.Neither had Joe B or Tubby
Georgia and Tulsa were not that bad back then. Self coached at Tulsa.Yes. Did I state an opinion? Golden has gone to the tournament twice in his career. Tubby made the Sweet 16 twice with shitty programs and was a part of the Pitino coaching tree. So, yes he was more qualified according to me.
The man who built the program had done nothing accomplishment wise.Yeah, Joe B was a natural fit as an assistant and Smith was the flavor of the month while at Georgia and a former assistant to Pitino. In my opinion, both very different than where Golden is and has been in his career.
Georgia was not good then. Georgia didn't go to the tournament for 5 years before tubby got them there. Took them another 4 after he left. Tubby coached at Tulsa before Self and Self just built on what Tubby built.Georgia and Tulsa were not that bad back then. Self coached at Tulsa.
Think Tubby coached at UK one or maybe 2 years before leaving. Golden was at San Francisco and now Florida. He's 38. We'll see how things shake out.
Tubby had a long career …Have great respect for Tubby and his on floor coaching, but he didn't recruit well. He was not a good "used car salesman". But boy he could have won that game.
Wasn't Pitino 37 when he took over here? Just asking, cause I don't remember and don't feel like researchingI would take Todd Golden right now. Young, 38 year old coach that plays an exciting style of ball!
I'm stealing this one. 😂The current coach is not UK ready
We are now. The damage has been done.We're basically Indiana at that point.

You guys are thinking Pat Riley ir Red Auerbach are showing up. Your credentials are a liitle askew.
We don’t need old washed up coaches. We need new blood. Golden is second coming of Billy Donavan. He or Chris Beard are my first calls.Is he ready for UK? Maybe so but if not I think he will be a great coach sooner than later.
NO! She is perfect for the women’s game. Young men won’t play for a woman. I have seen it fail miserably in High SchoolDawn Staley from South Carolina. Talk about being the media darling.
I agree. I can’t see how she could get the players. I have no doubt she would coach circles around Cal but I don’t think any young boy would sign up for that.NO! She is perfect for the women’s game. Young men won’t play for a woman. I have seen it fail miserably in High School
Rupp started when he was 28. But he was forced out 😆I don't think he is ready for the melting pot that is UK but I was at the SEC tournament and I came away impressed with this young coach. I would be inclined to bring in a more seasoned coach, or at least one that has proven himself more on the big stage. But this guy has the tools to be an exceptional coach.
My calls would be to Oats, Lloyd, Beard, and so on.There are better options. If they turn us down we move down the line to the younger crowd.
Agree, and not what I'm trying to say. My point is, find a hungry, passionate coach regardless of where he's coaching at right now. Cal's flame has burnt out.Georgia was not good then. Georgia didn't go to the tournament for 5 years before tubby got them there. Took them another 4 after he left. Tubby coached at Tulsa before Self and Self just built on what Tubby built.
Golden might get there but we shouldn't downplay Tubby or Joe B Hall to try and prop him up.
Totally agreeAgree, and not what I'm trying to say. My point is, find a hungry, passionate coach regardless of where he's coaching at right now. Cal's flame has burnt out.
I think there is a lot of upside with Todd Golden. And it would be nice if we could identify a future star BEFORE he wins his national championship at another school. There’s some risk there though, no doubt about that. I agree on the other three you mentioned. I have zero interest in any of them.The people who don’t trust Mitch Barnhart to hire a coach has suggested Bruce Pearl, Dusty May, Buzz Williams, and now Todd Golden to be the coach.
According to anyone with a brain. Tubby went to 3 straight Sweet 16’s at Georgia and Tulsa, Todd Golden has never won an NCAA Tournament game. Since when is a guy who hasn’t even won an NCAA Tournament game qualified to coach UK?According to who? You?
Maybe but this is Kentucky, you don’t just take fliers on unproven coaches and hope. Kentucky football can do that, Kentucky basketball cannot. Kentucky Football can hire Mark Stoops, Alabama football could not.I think there is a lot of upside with Todd Golden.

Tulsa was actually a pretty good job back in the day. As a member of the MVC and the WAC they were sort of a big fish in a small pond. In a 20 year period Nolan Richardson, Tubby Smith, and Bill Self all coached there. It was a job you could take to propel a career.Georgia and Tulsa were not that bad back then. Self coached at Tulsa.
I hear what you’re saying and you’re not wrong. It’s just that right now I don’t see a Nick Saban out there for Kentucky basketball to hire. Hell, I don’t even see a Kalen DeBoer right now. I haven’t heard a name yet that I’d totally consider “safe”.Maybe but this is Kentucky, you don’t just take fliers on unproven coaches and hope. Kentucky football can do that, Kentucky basketball cannot. Kentucky Football can hire Mark Stoops, Alabama football could not.
Adolph F. Rupp was a high school coachTodd Golden still has to prove himself over some time. He seems like he has "potential". That is years down the road.
I can tell you of 2 right now. Rupp and Joe B Hall.According to anyone with a brain. Tubby went to 3 straight Sweet 16’s at Georgia and Tulsa, Todd Golden has never won an NCAA Tournament game. Since when is a guy who hasn’t even won an NCAA Tournament game qualified to coach UK?
Yes sir. It truly was.Tulsa was actually a pretty good job back in the day. As a member of the MVC and the WAC they were sort of a big fish in a small pond. In a 20 year period Nolan Richardson, Tubby Smith, and Bill Self all coached there. It was a job you could take to propel a career.
Things have changed a bit in the last 94 years since we hired Rupp. We are a blue blood program now and blue blood programs don’t hire High High chool coaches. Blueblood programsAdolph F. Rupp was a high school coach
So hiring a HS coach would be cool with you? Maybe we should hire Tyler Ulis if we’re going the. unproven coach route.I can tell you of 2 right now. Rupp and Joe B Hall.
Of course not but I think dismissing anybody for anything based on age is wrongThings have changed a bit in the last 94 years since we hired Rupp. We are a blue blood program now and blue blood programs don’t hire High High chool coaches. Blueblood programs

More based on lack experience l. The same people who toss out these names are the people who would crush Barnhart if he hired Todd Golden.Of course not but I think dismissing anybody for anything based on age is wrong
