Gillespie would be a fantastic choice. If Texas A&M does not make the Final Four, he may be available. Tubby is a mediocre coach Pitino put on his staff while at UK. Pitino recommended Tubby to take his place when he left UK to take the Boston Celtics job. Were it not for Pitino, Tubby would probably now be coaching at someplace like North Texas or Albany. He owes everything he has to Pitino who gave him a team in his first year that you could have coached to the Final Four. Tubby should have be fired after giving his son Saul a scholarship and playing this slug of a player so much for 3 years. Tubby has hurt UK basketball because he is mediocre in every way and his teams reflect that.

even nevertheless i'm a Florida Gators fan myself, I might desire to assert that Tubby Smith isn't basically between the suited coaches interior the SEC, yet interior the rustic. in case you seem at him in comparison to Rick Pitino (who abandoned Kentucky i might upload), Tubby has finished plenty extra. He has recruited extra NBA starters and All-Stars than Rick Pitino. He has won extra national championships than Rick Pitino. and spectacular me if i'm incorrect, yet has he no longer coached uk to the longest modern-day streak of NCAA Tourney appearances? And to proper that off, he's actual one among the winningest coaches in college basketball on the instant! he's had a coarse year, however the SEC is turning out to be harder and harder as could be confirmed from final year and this year. Tubby's nonetheless doing an mind-blowing interest. he's finished way too plenty for uk for them to fire him. And right it rather is somewhat some thing to instruct the place uk might desire to be headed in the event that they fire Tubby: The UC Bearcats fired Bob Huggins using fact of a few offcourt incidents. in the previous he became fired, he became (and nonetheless is at Kansas St.) between the winningest coaches in basketball. The Bearcats by no ability missed the postseason whilst he became their coach, and resembling Tubby Smith, he had an prolonged streak of NCAA Tourney appearances. interior the 1st 2 seasons with out him, the UC Bearcats have missed the two postseason appearances and had a mixed checklist of 33-30 (.524 win share), which isn't very stable for a team who was once between the NCAA basketball elites. i'm to undecided that uk desires to bypass down that street. So i does no longer recommend firing Tubby Smith until uk starts off getting sub .500 archives.

As much as I hate to say it the hottest coach right now is Billy Gilepsi of Texas A&M. However I do not think that Kentucky should and will fire Tubby

If Tubby is fired I think Kentucky will try to hire Thad Matta from Ohio State. I don't think Tubby will get fired or Matta will leave but it could happen. I hope that Thad stays at Ohio State.
Go Buckeyes
