I'd like to think for 125k we could get Preston Laid or Antonio Anderson to take staff position working with the kids in practice.

Not happening this year. He explained why on Jason and John this morning. More head scratching news to be honest.

What was said?

I will let you listen so you and others do not accuse me of spinning anything. Odd happenings to say the least.

Rudd called AA about job and said call Alnutt. AA talked with Alnutt. Tubby NEVER called AA. Short version. Like FUT, draw your own conclusions.

If true, why would the President of a major research institution of higher learning be meddling in recruiting an Assistant Men's Basketball Coach? Surely you are mistaken.

That would be true if Presidents at major research instituitions of higher learning didn't get fired over athletics.

Well, FUT did say Memphis is a basketball town.

Priorities.

Given what was said, you have to believe Tubby didn't want him on staff and gave it little if any consideration. That's disappointing in my mind because I felt like he would connect at some level with most Tiger fans. I'm cool with taking a wait and see approach with Tubby and I don't fault him for wanting his own guys running the program but at the least he could have reached out and told him no thanks. If it ends badly here for Tubby I think this is one of those red flags that I'll look upon as another nail in the coffin, another thing he missed on.

This seems to be a common theme with Tubby. He expects to be treated with respect by any and all but refuses to give any.

Has he hired anyone yet? No. Has he interviewed anyone yet? No.

How do you come up with that hypothesis? Tone needed a job and couldn't wait around.

Tubby will hired the new person soon, and interview many candidates. Y'all are drawing conclusions with very little information.

How do you know Tubby has not interviewed anyone yet?

In one interview, Tubby sounded a lot like a guy ready to make some staff changes. Then came an interview where he sounded less likely to make changes. Don't know why Rudd would reach out to Antonio - without Tubby being involved. Lots of incomplete mini-stories right now.

AA told Jason/John that. They were totally shocked when he told them. On a personal level, can I get a loan to buy some office furniture?

Normally, a coach would select a DBO helping the overall goal of winning. Tubby, however, seems more interested in his comfort level and doing things his way than taking actions promoting winning.

Your perspective failed again.

judging by his resume doing things his way is the same as promoting winning.

Tubby has one NCAA Tourney win in ten years. The past results of doing things his way will not suffice at Memphis, IMO.

thing is, he's been coaching a lot longer than 10 years...you can't just block out most of his record because it doesn't fit the agenda being pushed.

Per 5/2/17 CA article, Tubby is pondering changing the DBO role into a recruiting coordinator working with AAU and HS coaches (but not directly with recruits which is against the rules).

The ten years represents productivity of late and thus a better indicator of his current productivity than work from 11 years ago and earlier.

Rollie Massimino won a title in 1985. Lute Olson won one in 1997. Gary Williams even won one in this century. We should contact them next.

I'd be ok with Lute on staff.
