Will they be Tubby-type players? There are certain types of players he wants.

When asked to describe a “Tubby-type” player during an end-of-season news conference, Smith first pointed to Clergeot.

Duh.

Maybe Tubby can get one of the open head coach jobs.

Then we can can get the coach who can pull excaliber from the stump.

Penny.

Another illogical option...why would Tubby want another job that will likely pay him less $$ at a school that may face sanctions.....duh, indeed.

The school will work to make Tubby whole if he manages to land another job.

Ha ha. Good one 1987. Wish the ignore feature could work so his stupidity couldn't come through on replies.

And always such an expert. From Canada. With no ties to our school.

ESPN has really misrepresented this whole "teams mentioned" concept. The investigation thus far has been about players (except for Sean Miller). Based on everything that's been made public, this is only a eligibility issue. Unless this thing totally turns another direction, I don't see mass exodus. Also, the players listed here are mostly signed, not just committed.

Tubby is going no where after this season.

Why would players who are not implicated continue to stay committed to coaches\schools who are implicated...That is what people are talking about with decommits.

The players listed from the schools who seem to be implicated at this point should be the most likeky to have rec'd $$ - that was 30-40% of the top 100.

You see this is where you are mistaken...

I think they all got money from some source...Many may have not gotten money from the FBI snitch hence they are still 'clean'. So yeah you have 1 guy who is implicated like Ayton from Arizona but the other guy who was likely paid just not caught up in the FBI sting because his money came from elsewhere.

There may be a few kids who turn down the $'s from UK to go to Duke for free but I seriously doubt it.

Or dealt with a different agent. This could be just beginning.

I think the real target here is the system. The shoe companies and the AAU. Coaches are going to be collateral damage.

"A cynic might speculate that Arizona officials wanted to incentivize Miller to break NCAA rules in order to assemble a stronger team. From a purely economic perspective, this viewpoint would make a great deal of sense. As Bill Simmons tweeted on Saturday, Ayton is worth much, much more to Arizona this season than $100,000. The same goes for the monetary value of Ayton's athletic scholarship, room, board and books. Apart from NBA players, Ayton is, arguably, the most dynamic young basketball player in the U.S.—and he’s a Wildcat."

You go, Ricky!


"Not surprisingly, a “for cause” firing sometimes sparks litigation. To illustrate, the University of Louisville fired Rick Pitino for cause. The decision relieved the school of the obligation to pay Pitino the approximately $38.7 million remaining on his contract. Pitino is now suing Louisville."

Coach K is good at the game, and I'm not talking about basketball.

UCLA has wasted no time grabbing up Shaq's kid.
