Tubby Smith has to keep Keelon Lawson on staff or risk losing two starters. Welcome to Memphis! COLUMN:
http://www.cbssports.com/college-basketb...t-memphis/

But Tubby seems to realize something that Gary can't: Its not working "buying" the Lawson's brothers thru Dad's salary.

I'm not down with Keelon's ploys if this is true, but you have to admit, how is what Keelon's doing any different than Tubby hiring his son? In Keelon's mind, he as an assistant coach can bring in 4 top 100 players in 4 years. Has Saul done that? Can he do that?

No, Saul can't do S h I t but there he is sitting at the end of the bench.

If his daddy didn't hire he's probably selling encyclopedias or fire extinguishers door to door.

Tubby Smith had no idea what he was getting into, and the University president who fancies himself a sports guy had no clue what he needed.

And that right there is the real issue

Thanks Brad, Alan and Cato

lol

You never disappoint.

@Gary Parrish To recap: Memphis paid Josh Pastner $1.25 million to please take the Georgia Tech job. So he did. Then Memphis gave Tubby Smith a five-year, $15.45 million contract. And now here we are.

Didn't Gary Parrish cheer the Tubby hire like all the other idiot hacks in sports media? Anyone with any damn sense knew this was a horrible hire, but hacks like Parrish thought it was great at the time. Now he is Mr. smart guy that knew it was bad all along.

It is what it is.
