OT: Tubby Smith Stepping Down

[Hey Adrien!]

I love when these high major coaches finish our their careers in low- and mid-majors, especially at their alma maters.

Wait, whaaaaat? Tubby still/was coaching?

I know, i had the same reaction. I had no idea.

Same... Had no idea. High Point is supposed to have an incredible campus. Could be worse ways to play out the string.

Nice way to ensure that GG has the gig at least through next year
Always liked Tubby Smith
I hope things are well with him and wish him the best

11-15, not exactly JC at St. Joe's there

High Point is D1, St. Joe's is D3.

Had no idea dude was even still coaching

High Point is D1, St. Joe's is D3.

High Point is an upscale apartment complex masquerading as a college.

I knew that, obviously.

JC's a better coach than Tubby Smith, and wouldn't be 11-15 in his 4th season at a low major D1 school (or .400 overall). Let me know if you disagree with that opinion.

JC took a school without a basketball program and led them to a 26-3 record in their second season. I think he could handle the Big South Conference.

Meh. No beef with Tubby. Got old...went small. Hmmmm
