Ricky P. Leaving L-ville?

[mhall]

i dont think an arena is going to keep rick anywhere. now if he was handed the money that it is costing the university or whoever is footing the bill then i would bet he would ask to be burried under freedom hall. its all about the money with mr.pitino. if the cards ever win the championship under ricks direction and he says something about not leaving a few years later start to worry. anybody notice that tubby and billy d also said they werent leaving and did? i know donovan came back but my point is not only did rick teach them how to coach, he also taught them how not to tell the truth. at least billy g tells it like it is, although he should maybe not do it so much. all of the above was my opinion and not a reflection of this board, its members and other wildcat fans, because i could be wrong and im sure i will be corrected by someone although i did state it was an opinion.

Tubby didn't quit he was run out of town on a rusty rail. Tubby had no intention of ever leaving Ky but just wasn't good enough for the fanbase with their crazy expectations. Tubby was fired he did not leave on his own accord.

i dont think tubby was fired. if he was why was it such a surprise to everyone when he was at the airport leaving for the gophers? i think maybe the meeting with the athletic director didnt go to well and is why he may have quit. i just dont remember him being fired. if he was then maybe the A.D. should have gone with him for not having a back-up plan in place. like i said before i could be wrong and im going to look back to see if tubby was in fact let go. and for the record i was not a tubby basher.

I hear ya skeeter, I liked Tubby to, thought he did a good job. Check back though and I'll think you'll find Tubby was run out of town bigtime. The UK brass can put whatever kinda spin on it they want, but Orlando had no intentions of leaving until Mitch Barnyard and Lee Todd layed the smack down on him.
