    Everything Tubby hated about his job, just got magnified by 100

    Tubby was on with CBS' Jon Rothstein to discuss the Memphis job, but also his time at Kentucky and Georgia...his conversations with John Calipari...how coaching at UK prepared him for the Memphis job, etc.

    we don't hold ourselves to that standard, and never have...that's 4 decades of success, and NCAA runs on the backs of Memphis kids...I look forward to continuing that with Tubby coaching the Lawson's and Nick Marshall.

    Lawsons' Dad Accepts Job as Director of Player Development for Tubby

    it's more than Pastner could do, and I don't think you hire a 64 year old to be a long term hire...esp with an escalating pay scale like 2.8 year one...2.9 year two...3.25 year three...etc I kinda expect him to coach 3-4 years, get Memphis to a Sweet 16...retire a legend, and leave Memphis...

    Lawsons' Dad Accepts Job as Director of Player Development for Tubby

    Tubby has taken 3 different programs to 5 Sweet 16s...I think he can do that here before he retires (make a Sweet 16)...if he's willing to play the game to get talented kids, he'll do well here.

    Lawsons' Dad Accepts Job as Director of Player Development for Tubby

    Cal is one of the absolute best in the business, and I'm happy for the 9 years we had with him...I don't fault Cal for doing what he had to do, but I find the hypocrisy amusing...now Tubby's doing what he has to do, just like Cal did, and folks want to take shots at him. everyone says Tubby...

    Lawsons' Dad Accepts Job as Director of Player Development for Tubby

    "Seems like Tubby agrees, too, considering the easiest thing to do would've been to give Lawson the third assistant slot and have one of his long time assistants take the ego hit for a single season, but Tubby didn't do that." incorrect as Pastner couldn't hire Lawson as anything other than...
