UK to release Tubby at the end of this season !

According to the Commonwealth Journal Daily News paper from Lexington is that UK is gonna buy out Tubby's remaining contract cause players are not responding to him plus some unkown reason's! But I heard at the game that Rick Pitino has offered to buy out his contract if UK would take him back!
Plus they are starting this summer on a new Arena for UK!

Heck, players haven't been responding to Tubby since he's been there. He's had at least 3 teams that could have won the title, but ended up getting beat. He sure aint no Pitino.

If the chance came he would. Pitino was a GOD in the state when he wat at the helm of UK. He said leaving the University of Kentucky was the worst mistake he had ever made. If he hadnt left he would have been in 3 straight championship games. What seperates him from Tubby is the caliber of players he gets. He gets the pieces needed to win, its even harder in Louisville, as they are big program but not a Kentucky level program. Duke, North Carolina, Kentucky and UCLA will forever be the biggest programs year in and year out simply because the passion that is associated with the teams, the history and well the name across their chest. Every single UK game is televised with amajority of them nationally. If Pitino ever wants to win a another national title then he will need to go back to Kentucky, if Kentucky ever wants another title then Tubby needs to go. IMO If Pitino doesnt ever come back I would want Bob Huggins or Quin Snyder.

All I have to say is this....Tubby wouldn't have made it to the Championship without having Coach Pitino's team when he first got started...And Tubby lost all respect with his players when his son came to play...KY has went down hill ever since he got there...At least Rupp and Coach Pitino didn't recruit thugs...Coach Pitino was getting ready to recuit Shawn Kemp till he stoled some jewelery....So Kemp went on to the NBA...The point being is....If you recruit thugs your not going to have a good hard working team...
