No other way to spin it....Rudd and Bowen are clueless when it comes to hoops.

When your team loses to a team that lost to CENTRAL CONNECTICUT, RADFORD, a terrible Charlotte team, and NORTH CAROLINA A&T at home, you are not a good team.

Hello. lol. Welcome to our drain the tub marathon!

Did you take a wrong turn?

The guy just has to go.

After today's comments I genuinely think he's daring them to fire him. I really do.

You may be right. Man, I hope you are.

He might not be able to think that far ahead.

Words and sentences might just come out.

Well someone here still needs to take their expectations down a few more notches.

It's too deep into the season and the wrong time of the year to be having these issues with your players. The problem is the players(last year's guys weren't your recruits but this year YOU recruited them all) or the problem is YOU and your staff. Whatever it is, next year is shaping up to be a make or break year for him and his staff. Right now, nothing is trending up in basketball, the same cannot be said in football. Norvell is burning it up and his team is must see TV. If anything, football is closer to next season being the "breakthrough" year on the field and in attendance at the LB. The

Basketball has to turn it around, quickly, and with WINS. There are no more moral victories to be had after yesterday. They've all run out. Only wins. So, call in who you gotta call in, guru who you gotta guru, fire who you gotta fire, at 3M per standing pat talking about being ahead of schedule with an empty home arena is not going to do. Next year, for better or worse, got started yesterday. One more thing...play Nickleberry more!!! He's not a Guard. He's a Forward. A terrific interior passer who is willing to mix it up. Quit playing him at guard and playing on the outside. That's it. That's all I have.

I expect that we'll see a really good effort against Wichita because poor teams get up to play good teams.

The game will be much closer than many expect but will likely result in a loss.

From that point the season will spiral downward ending with a second round loss in the AAC tournament and 4th consecutive year of ZERO postseason,.

"Well, the good thing about being Tubby Smith and working with Dr. Rudd and Tom Bowen is that if you lose, it's okay. Don't recruit, who cares. Insult the players, their parents, the fan base, and college basketball in general, nobody will say anything because I am Tubby Smith. I AM TUBBY!!!" - Tubby Smith in the mirror at home, reflection in a pane of glass, and especially in his car rear view mirror. I AM TUBBY!! LISTEN TO ME!!

This coach can't improve this team, because this team is playing as well as it possibly can. There is no hope with this man in charge. Tubby reads this, laughs, and checks his retirement account.

if they fire him now, it's an acknowledgement of a poor hire

those folks will never acknowledge they made a poor decision

early predictions on year three record?

Team will be better but schedule not as favorable. Record about the same. Year 5 of overpriced mediocrity.

my opinion does not change. I don't hire or fire coaches, I just root for my team no matter what.

So if your coach is not doing his job well and is dragging our program into the dumpster (while making 3mill per year), you will not comment on it and actually go out of your way to bash anyone who does?

That is the textbook definition of a sheep

We all already knew this but thanks for openly admitting it

yeah, cause this whole putting the ball in a peach basket with no bottom is truly life or death stuff...I mean, it's not like we have trained professionals like Rudd and Bowen running things. Oh wait, yeah we do...
