This message is after yet ANOTHER UK WIN! Was scared there for awhile. What a great win though, down by 18 in the first half and come back and win! Nice.
So, this is my first post. Am looking forward to many more though.
I've finally had enough, you all kill me with the way you talk about Tubby. "Tubby has to go", "Tubbyball sucks", etc, etc. Tubby is not a horrible coach, get off him already. 6 straight SEC championships? 15 consecutive 20 win games? One overtime from a Final Four appearance last year? C'mon. Give the man a break. Yes, I'll admit we lose a lot of recruits that we should probably get, but do you really think it's ALL Tubby's fault? I don't think so.
Not sure what finally pushed me over the edge and made me write this, guess I just needed to vent a bit.
Write back if you'd like, if not, hopefully my posts will be welcomed in the future.
My one question is: What was the deal w/ Crawford today? Living in Indianapolis, I didn't get to watch the game besides the end of it, but was following it on-line.
Thanks guys!
GO CATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm excited about this team.

You absolutely are welcome on the board, but this kind of thread really inflames things around here.
Welcome to the board good to have you here.
This thread will be moved to the hot tub.
We have a clearly marked divide here on the board between those wanting Tubby gone and those wanting him here.
Trust me; I'm sure you'll get a few replies. ;D

Hahhahaha. Thanks for the warm greetings everyone! Typical UK fans. Anyone know about Crawford? Or did he just sit b/c everyone else played so well? 2nd half that is.  |

With the way Sparks, Rondo, and Moss were playing on the perimeter, we found our 3 guards that were necessary to win this game. Next game it might be Bradley, Crawford, and Rondo. It seems to alternate. As long as we can get great games from 3 guards and compliments from the other 2 top guards, we should be fine, as I feel confident in Morris' leading interior role along with complimentary roles from Perry, Thomas, and Sims when he plays.

Indy
I am one of those Tubby haters you addressed.
For the sake of argument lets look at what you said.
6 straight SEC Championships. Not bad BUT you have to look at the over all power of the league. I am not sure but the best I can remember the SEC has been rated in the last 6 years is 3rd and most times worse than that. The SEC is usually ranked behind the ACC, Big East, Big Ten and Big 12. That tells me the competition is not top of the line and explains why we haven't made the Final Four.
As far as the 20 win seasons with very few exceptions it takes 20 wins to just make the NCAA Tournament.
Tubby has had some very good regular season winning records BUT the whole focus of the regular season is to get into the NCAA Tourney and win it all. This is where we are falling short.
When Tubby proves he can get to the Final Four with his recruits on a regular basis he will silence his critics.

kentucky basketball has been on a decline ever since Tubby won the ncaa.
we're barely beating middlin teams, how you think Tubby has got all those wins?
we're becoming more mediocre every year. Kids are wanting to transfer to other schools, instead of wanting to transfer here, and the best recruits are choosing other schools because of syle of play. speakin of that, we run an outdated system, that gives up 3's, and is akin to the style of play that temple has.
this is not uk basketball.
although, I dont hate Tubby, I think he needs to change many things or leave.
not gettin off his case til changes are made( :
btw, welcome to the board.......
