Wonder if it went like this. "I quit" "you can't quit" "why not" "cause your fired"

We won't "run anyone off" if they play the caliber basketball the elite programs of the nation expect. It doesn't mean the Final Four every year like moron talking heads suggest. But 25 losses in two years and back to back 8 seeds all the while claiming "I don't see the problem here" ISN'T Kentucky-caliber basketball. I'm sure UNC, Kansas, UCLA, Indiana wouldn't expect any different.
If I were a Kentucky fan, I'd be looking at John Beilein from WVU. All the guy ever does is win. He took WVU to the Elite 8 and the Sweet 16 in back to back years, and led a young team, that was picked last in the Big East, to the NIT final four, and nearly the Dance.
He's a proven winner.
I'm kinda sad things didn't work out with Tubby...he's a very likeable guy and represented the university well. Still, I have no doubt that the program will improve with the right coach. The downward trend of the past several years needed to stop.
I'm hoping they hire Tommy Amaker....
Take this for what its worth because its coming from other message boards but the rumor is that Tom Crean will be the man to replace Tubby.
