No he wouldn’t, he was told to change and instead of doing it he left.He wouldn’t surround himself with better assistants when adversity hit. Cal did it.
Tubby never had a losing season, never missed tournament and never went to NIT.He wouldn’t surround himself with better assistants when things got stale. Cal did it.

Is it Groundhog day?? Tubby is recognized, it's a new age, we got to get out of this funk, start playing some basketball.
Al McGuire said that coaching is like politics. You have be smart enough to do it and dumb enough to think it important. I think the difference between the greatest coaches in college and the average coach in high school is much less than people imagine.
Sport's fans imagine that they can put calipers on coaching ability. They make very fine grained distinctions. When our son was little I was suddenly elevated to coaching his Bee Swarm soccer team. It was grimly comic. But coaching is a lot like directing a movie. Most of it is just showing up. I'm sure someone who knew more about soccer (> 0) could have directed the kids better than I did, but the kids themselves still had to play, and that's the great leveler. Coaching stops at the bench.
Just staying with the crowd, feeling a little boorish so people can understand me like you.Thanks for validating the thread as new assistants bringing in better talent tends to get you out of a funk.
And never lost to a 15 seed in the first round either.Tubby never had a losing season, never missed tournament and never went to NIT.
Al McGuire had started his son as PG. He told his players, frankly, that they had to be waaay better than Allie to start, They didn't kick about it. As near as I can tell, the players at UK didn't kick about it. Saul was an SEC quality PG. It's always seemed like a ginned up issue to me.Tubby considered twenty wins a good season and started Saul Smith at Point Guard. At UK…..at UK….
lmao

Another retread idiot. Which usernames did you previously post these mouth breather posts under?Tubby wouldn’t upgrade his assistants, left in the middle of the night for Barnyard U., and defiantly said he considered 20 wins a good season. Don’t seethe too much watching the incoming talent. Or you can always skip the games and watch Bobby Perry and Sheray Thomas Highlights.
you consider a good season at UK to be 26 wins and a first round loss to a 15 seed. At UK....at UK....Tubby considered twenty wins a good season and started Saul Smith at Point Guard. At UK…..at UK….

Did Tubby even have any decent assistants to begin with?
I loved Tubby. Hated to see him go.Tubby never had a losing season, never missed tournament and never went to NIT.
If he had stayed a few more years he’d have done all those things.Tubby never had a losing season, never missed tournament and never went to NIT.

he was going to have a healthy Jasper, Meeks, Draymond Green, Patrick Patterson, and Kenny Friese. He was not going to have historically bad results with that group. Cal on the other hand owns the worst season in program history and the worst tournament loss in program history back to back, to say nothing of his NIT.
I’m glad Cal finally made some changes, we seem to be back to getting higher end recruits which is good. Hopefully we keep more depth as well. If Cal would just change the offensive philosophy a bit and institute some different defensive schemes he could get back to the top.He wouldn’t surround himself with better assistants when things got stale. Cal did it.
You are without a doubt wrong on this. I know for a fact two very good players told me Saul played way more than he should of played. I am not going to say players names. But it is a fact!!Al McGuire had started his son as PG. He told his players, frankly, that they had to be waaay better than Allie to start, They didn't kick about it.

That's mainly because Tubby was a 8 or 9 seed his last few years. When you barely make the tournament you normally don't play a 15 seed.And never lost to a 15 seed in the first round either.
His last TWO years. You’re not the first person I’ve seen post this about Tubby that his last few years were bad. His :3rd to last year we were a 2 seed and a double OT away from the final four. His last two years were bad though, for sure.That's mainly because Tubby was a 8 or 9 seed his last few years. When you barely make the tournament you normally don't play a 15 seed.

I loved Tubby too. But it was time.I loved Tubby. Hated to see him go.
Tubby was a SUPER nice guy but he didn’t like to deal with AAU folks. That got him behind in recruiting. I felt like after he coached with RP we were getting a RP clone. Didn’t like his style near as much as RP.
Agree you have to deal with some folks you don’t care about. The old days you would talk to high school coaches. Seems like now days most guys have handlers.That’s because Tubby was just not as aggressive. But some of Tubbys teams were amongst our best.
Yes, he did t want to play the AAU game and that’s where college ball was headed. Tubby wasn’t wrong per se either. Some of those AAU folks are absolute snakes. But, like every thing else sometimes you have to play the game a bit.

You tell 'em, KYCAT !Tubby never had a losing season, never missed tournament and never went to NIT.
This is true .He wouldn’t surround himself with better assistants when things got stale. Cal did it.
