RE: "They all think they should be winning right away"
His response is such B.S. Other than his time in KY, he has never been in a place with such built in advantages. Talented local base of players that grew up loving the program, NBA arena and facilitates, major donor support, having (usually) the #1 team at the University, huge fan base, tradition. There is no reason for this team to be so bad without any hope for the foreseeable future. It has been a while when we have had a team that is so devoid of high level talent, and the blame falls squarely on Tubby.
I think Tubby is an excellent floor coach, but is living in the past when it comes to recruiting high level talent. If he would hire a top notch recruiter, and move Saul to some other position, then maybe I could see some hope. But more and more I see that Tubby is a relic from a by gone era of college basketball who is getting top pay for inferior results.

If you got points for saving your timeouts, maybe.

RE: "They all think they should be winning right away"
I can be patient if I see improvement or if I have hope for the future.
The team isn’t improving and there’s no hope for the future. In fact, the future looks really depressing.
Don’t preach patience if you aren’t providing proof

RE: "They all think they should be winning right away"
It doesn't seem unreasonable to expect extraordinary results from a coach when you're paying him extraordinary money. You sure don't expect the program to regress.

RE: "They all think they should be winning right away"
Obviously, I am in minority when i state that I do not have a problem with most of Tubby's comments in this post game press conference.
He praised the bench players. He did criticise some of the starters. This sounds fair and accurate to me.
Many of you were hard on Tubby for his ecu post game comments where he criticised the players. Now, he praises bench players and you are still unhappy.
Go ahead. fire away.

RE: "They all think they should be winning right away"
Statements like this are so nonsensical that I assume they have a different objective than addressing the topic at hand, namely, why our team has fallen so far.
In this case, I think there's two objectives.
First, Tubby wants to deflect attention from how utterly worthless Saul and Pooh are in recruiting by saying stupid things that keep the spotlight on him.
Second, there could be merit to the idea that he wants to be fired.
No other options come to mind. If Tubby did not have those objectives in mind, then he's just covering up his own laziness and trying to buy an extra few years of having a job.

I could care less who he criticizes, just get some players. He hasn't so far and there is nothing on the horizon to even hint he will in the future. #drainthetub

RE: "They all think they should be winning right away"
Speaking of criticizing, why do people keep saying he is an excellent floor coach?
His subbing and use of timeouts (especially in the last ten mins) didn't look excellent.

Because:
"He's won everywhere he's been."
"He's a hall of famer."
"He'll coach em up."
"He got rid of the cancers and now has HIS players."
"Be patient."
"It's a process."
"The JUCO's are going to surprise a lot of folks."
"The freshmen will contribute immediately."
"This team will be better than people think."

That's where I am. It's a lot easier to be patient if you see the light at the end of the tunnel.
As it is, I expect next year to be exactly the same as this year or worse and the next year the same or worse again.
