Tubby was a great coach, people only think about the last 2 subpar years, people forget about how great an X's and O's coach Tubby was. This fan is gonna miss the Tub.

It is sad that some ignorant "fan" hatred has obscured the fact that Tubby Smith won the 1998 NCAA championship with Slicky's leftovers, put together several championship-caliber teams who did, indeed, frustrate high-powered offenses, turned Team Turmoil into a monster that could easily have gone all the way, and was a few recruits - or early defections to the NBA - away from being back on top again. Keep Azubuike for four years, Rondo for four years (with his head in the game instead of ...), a healthy Carter and who knows what last year and this year might have been instead. I will crawl to Lexington the day they hang Tubby's jersey from the Rupp rafters, and be grateful to do so. The sorry sad whiners should have given Tubby the chance to recruit to the new facility and fix the few problems from this year, and next year would have been great, and I don't care who little Billy gets to Gainesville next year. He almost lost to UK in Rupp just a few weeks ago ... Thanks for a great time, Tubby! You ran a classy program, and I wish you had stayed around to show the whiners a thing or two when you won your next NCAA title. Good luck in the Great White North, and don't laugh too hard if the whiners run poor Billy G out of town soon. You are always Kentucky's coach, in my book. Amen, again!
