Are you arguing that Cal is better because he utilized Jorts, Liggins, and Miller in his first 3 years and had success with another man's players? Sounds a lot like Tubby?
I'm not arguing the quality of hire Calipari was at the time, and sure, Calipari was better than Tubby, but not anymore. Tubby never had a season like this, and he never went to the NIT. If Cal left today I'd say he's around a Joe B Hall legacy, which is better than Tubby - I guess?
Tubby did not go to the NIT. Who is the last coach to miss multiple tournaments in 9 years at UK.
Some of you seem to not process the shape UK is in under Cal. It's not going to get better either, so we might want to starts seeing this for what it is, not how we felt about him in 2010.
