Title: Tubby Smith to Arkansas?
Post by: GGGG on March 14, 2011, 04:09:31 PM
Reports all over the place that Tubby has met with Arkansas officials and will be taking the job there.  Of course nothing is definative yet.

Do you have a link?  Not that I doubt you but I would love to share with the "other" rodent lovers up here.

He's blaming his awful job at MN on a practice facility. All he's done this year is chased away a starting PG, recruited convicts, and failed to reach a post season tournament. Meanwhile Ex coach Monson takes LBS to the NCAA tourney. Have fun Arkansas.

You can't blame him for wanting to step up to a tougher conference.  ;D

Actually Long Beach lost to UCSB in their title game.  Bummer, because Long Beach was the better team this season.  Your point is valid, however!

I hope Tubby takes the job because MN is not good fit for Buzz.

Are you sure? Isn't Mbakwe a junior? Maybe Buzz could chase him off again.

Tubby is an aside to the main headline of this article--filling the TX Tech job opening,on Pat Knight's firing. 
Billy G to Texas Tech makes very good sense.
His best coaching work was while at UTEP, also in west Texas, and later he did well during his A&M gig'em. His recruiting contact base fits with Tech perfectly.

Yup, my fault, they are in the NIT.

TC will be sad to see Tubby go - 25% of his Big 10 wins (2) and 50% of his storm the court, kiss the wife celebrations (1) have come at the expense of the Gophers.

NC State talks are starting up again, though... GA tech, NC State, Arkansas.. I'm sure there will be some others talked bout soon.. yeeesh... it does get a little tiring.  Luckily some of the Scoop posters prepare me for hearing the same nonsense over and over and over again!

I am not worried about Buzz going anywhere. Just because a team will go after him does not mean he has interest in leaving.

A whole lot of people out there who don't read Warrior65/69 or Williewampumwarrior or marquette84's stuff.   Be careful what you wish for, guys.   You never know when you are going to land the next Keno/Dukiet/Kennedy/Gonzo/Lowe/Crean (sorry, couldn't resist.   I appreciate all TC did here and bear him no ill will.   Sometimes the targets are just too easy)/ Knight (Pat)/Doherty (at UNC)/Pelphrey (still think they jumped the gun too quick with him)/Capel.     I prefer Buzz to all of them.
