JD, I always though Tubby was a decent game coach but only an average recruiter. Obviously, you disagree. However, don't forget the Billy Gillispie detour either. Fortunately, they corrected that quickly.
Nothing wrong with BCG. He is twice the coach that tubby ever thought about being. he wasn't given a chance at UK. But it worked out well for us since we got Cal.
How is tubby a game coach? Sending Sheray Thomos off the free throw line in a tight game in the tournament and saying afterwards that he didn't know it was rule?
But lets just say he is an X and O guy, so waht? Vince Lombardi said that guys that can write up plays area dime a dozen. Every college coach out there can diagram plays. Coaching is about having a plan and recruiting to that plan and then motivating the players to run that plan. It's also about player development, guys getting better because they play for you. tubby does none of that. Look at him now in the Big 10. He hasn't had a winning record in the conference since he's been there and won't this year. Go to any Gopher message board and they are ready to run him out of town on a rail. What do they say? He can't/doesn't develop playuers, he can't/doesn't run any kind of discernable offense. Last night he got lucky as hell and that will buy him some peace until he lose the next game, which he will.
