Tubbys Tabbys, I'm grinning ear to ear reading your facts. If you remember I was banned for supporting Tubby, not for wanting him back, but because he was treated like a second class citizen.
Its interesting to read some of the quotes where posters are still belittling him even more. It is really sad that the hate for Tubby still exist.
When Tubby came to KY he had just won 20+ games in two back- to- back seasons which was the first time in Georgia basketball history for that to happen. In his second and last year at Georgia, Tubby won 24 and lost 9 after losing 8 seniors and all five starters from the year before. I know, I know, somebody elses players {lol} can't wait to hear that lol.
But where Tubby really separates him self from most of the rest is his integrity and honesty.
The guy who can't coach middle school is a Hall of Famer. He is still the only UK coach in history to take every team he coached to the NCAA tourney. Always advanced to 2nd round or higher. The NIT was never mentioned during his tenure.

One of the most disgusting things that he was criticized for was missing part of the Memorial to Bill Keightley, a dear friend. It was later reported that Tubby's plane had mechanical problems and Tubby arrived later to take part in the services.. He was also accused of not telling his players he was leaving for Minny. That was not true .And probably where his character stood out the most was that he never was investigated by the NCAA or had to vacate one single game.
