Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: droner on March 25, 2013, 07:10:00 EDT after making the tournament... :frown: Second coach to go down after making the tournament. UCLA fired Howland yesterday although this was probably overdue. Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: 101stDad on March 25, 2013, 07:11:49 EDT Minnesota isn't going to hire a better basketball coach than is Tubby Smith.
This one is just stupid. Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: WoodstockVol on March 25, 2013, 07:16:02 EDT Totally brainless move by Minnesota! :rolleyes: :frown:
Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: Creek Walker on March 25, 2013, 07:31:30 EDT Win 20 games five times in six seasons — at Minnesota, no less — and get fired. Yeah, makes sense.
Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: GeneVols on March 25, 2013, 07:34:18 EDT Seems to be a play by the ADs (both came from VCU recently) to hopefully get Shaka to come with them to Minnesota... I say highly doubtful it happens!
Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: Tnphil on March 25, 2013, 08:04:38 EDT Yep...hard place to recruit to.
From what I've been told what got Tubby is since he's been there he's never finished above .500 in the Big 10 conf. Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: Black Diamond Vol on March 25, 2013, 08:11:31 EDT I have a harder time justifying Howland. I know expectations at UCLA are sky high, and I know they've been down the past few seasons, but he's taken them to, what- 4 Final Fours? Wow.
I think a big part of his undoing has been Calipari's "recruiting" at UK. Whereas he was once able to sign a Kevin Love or Russell Westbrook every year, these days, just about all of those types end up in Lexington. :frown: Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: BanditVol on March 25, 2013, 09:13:50 EDT I have a harder time justifying Howland.

Nothing major, but enough to get fired, apparently. Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: RON on March 26, 2013, 01:46:31 EDT Tubby is a great coach. He is a lot like Don Devoe. Both men are great teachers of defensive style of basketball. Both men would never cheat to win.
Title: Re: Minnesota fires Tubby Post by: volmeister on March 26, 2013, 02:59:18 EDT after making the tournament... :frown: He was 46-62 in Big 10 games, pretty sure they expected better than that when they signed to a multimillion dollar contract. |
