The following is a list of coaches, the years they coached and the years they had 10 or more losses in a season.

Rupp 1931 to 1972
1965
1967
Total of 2 in 42 years
Rating of 4.7%

Hall 1973 to 1985
1974
1976
1979
1985

Tubby 1998 to Present
2000
2001
2002
2006
Total 4 in 9 years
Rating of 44.4%

What does this say?

In the last 75 years UK has had Thirteen 10 or more loss seasons

It shows that Sutton was the worse thing that could happen to the university

It shows me that Tubby's projected record for having another 10+ loss season next year is 44.4%

It shows that Tubby is well on his way to surpass Hall as the coach with the most 10 loss seasons

It shows me that Tubby is credited with 30.8% of all 10+ loss seasons since 1931

My question

Should we continue to employ a coach with this type of track record?

This is [glow=red,2,300]TOTALLY ACCEPTABLE!![/glow]

Many fans support Tubby and his multiple 10 loss seasons. It's OK. Tubby will get 'em next year, or the next, or the next. Just wait. Be patient. It takes years and years and years for Tubby to get things on track. His good guy status will put UK over the top!! Just please be patient and accept mediocrity until then.

Here's a copy of the same thing I posted before on another thread for those who need to be reminded of Tubby's accomplishments.

Pitino

189,659 (avg. attendance for each season totaled up)
8 seasons in Rupp

= 23,707.375 avg. attendance over 8 years

Hall

209,845 (avg. attendance for each season totaled up)
9 seasons in Rupp

= 23,316.11111111111

Sutton

90,730 (avg. attendance for each season totaled up)
4 seasons in Rupp

= 22,682.5

Tubby -- through the 04-05 season

180,062 (avg. attendance for each season totaled up)
8 seasons in Rupp

= 22,507.75


There's you some attendance figures. Tubby has the worst avg. attendance record since Rupp opened. He has the worst avg. attendance for one season('01-'02 of 21,014) since the building opened. This is including Sutton's 13-19 season ('88-'89 of 21,895).

Top 10 worst avg. attendance for Rupp Arena

1. 21,014 --- Tubby '01-'02
2. 21,786 --- Tubby '00-'01
3. 21,895 --- Sutton '88-'89
4. 22,271 --- Tubby '02-'03
5. 22,323 --- Hall '76-'77
6. 22,448 --- Tubby '99-'00
7. 22,520 --- Tubby '04-'05
8. 22,627 --- Sutton '85-'86
9. 22,710 --- Tubby '03-'04
10. 22,923 --- Hall '84-'85


Tubby has 6 out of the 10.

UK hasn't avg. 23,000 ++ since the '98-'99 season. Numbers speak for themselves.

I was on the fence and now, you guys have convinced me Tubby needs more time.

We need Dick Chaney on our team. We know when he pulls the trigger he hits something.
