This has the feel of a broken deal. Info got sparse around the time Tech countered. Why would Smith leave a place where he is appreciated for just getting to the tournament for a place with difficult fans and overrun with the AAU culture he despises? Makes even less sense for us. Tubby has nothing left to prove. We need a young energetic coach to return stability to the program, not a proven coach with one foot out of the game.

Where does this leave us?

ah, here come the UK idiots...just what we need...

And there you go.

Memphis born and bred actually. Just making bourbon for all you alcoholics at the moment. I despise UK but I am surrounded by their fans which gave me interesting perspective on Tubby and his time at ky

smdh....

It seemed to me that Tubby had an 80% disapproval rating on this board when his name first came up. So, if we dont get him, not a big deal. A lot more fish in the sea.

Before you go to bed at night, how many teeth do you pull out?

The Texas Tech forums are saying he is on a plane back to Lubbock.

Do they track planes like us?

I suspect he will be named the new coach tomorrow.

If not then he already turned it down.

ESPN is still reporting that the interest is mutual as of 9:20 PM tonight

Shouldn't be hard. Smallest airport I've ever been to, so likely just need to track one plane.
