5/24/17 Mailbag - Mark Giannotto
Mark's "mailbag" today is informative and interesting. Among other topics, he states that Norvell "gets" how to handle the local media and (by inference) Tubby does not get it. Also, I learned that a grad transfer may cause an APR hit unless he obtains a graduate degree.

I think I will wait and see the product before passing judgement. No way any Memphis coach should be under .500 in conference though.

No matter the topic on this board, it's like Six Degrees of Tubby Smith.

RE: 5/24/17 Mailbag - Mark Giannotto
I can recall one radio interview, then the interview that he had with the Commercial Appeal (as noted in the article). Outside of that, Tubby's communication with the media has been non-existent since the season ended. Restricting the media in Memphis has never worked out favorably. It may not be the most appealing part of the job, but it's a part of the job.

That's the smallest compliment a coach has ever received.

Giannotto's pick of 7-11 in conference is totally depressing.

We should expert more of the same from other reporters. A predicted losing overall record by some of the reporters would not surprise me.

The OP said it was an article about Norvell. It does't really matter what the topic is, it always turns into a thread about Tubby Smith and how much he sucks as coach.

Tubby season is year-round, and there's no limit, it seems.
