Fire Tubby Petition (For Real) Here's your chance!
#9
I've already signed it....was one of the first 50 to do so. No doubt Tubby is a great person, but I've had all I want of Tubby ball and inept recruiting. Kentucky is no longer feared among the ranks of college basketball anymore, especially since Tubby took over and to get UK back to that level once again, drastic steps must be taken. No, Tubby won't resign or even go to the NBA. Heck, he can't even deal with the superego's on this squad, let alone the superego's in the NBA. Tub has 5 more years left on his contract. Not sure UK and the great fans of Kentucky basketball can take 5 more years of Tubby ball.

One more thing.....as I converse about UK basketball with many others on several basketball chat sites on the internet, usually the ones who want Tubby to stay are found in the 12 - 21 year old category. These people, to be honest, are absolutely clueless about UK basketball tradition and what it means. Us 'old geezers' who lived and breathed UK basketball for many years just can't put up with Tubby ball and losing. Maybe when these 'young pups' get a little age and intuition about them, they'll realize the damage Tubby Smith has done to the University of Kentucky basketball program. If one remembers correctly, another prestegious basketball program in UNC was going through this same situation a few years back. Did they just quietly sit back and let the coach continue to embarrass the program with 10 - 15 loses per season? Absolutely not. They 'fixed' their problem ( and it was one of their own bretheren that got the axe ) and won a national championship two years later and now have their program back on top with top 10 recruiting classes coming in every year and will more than likely be ranked as the #1 team next season. Does UK have the balls to do something like UNC did? Absolutely not. I rest my case.
