"Tubby is the best coach in
all of college basketball."
Rick Pitino, Boston Celtics President/Head Coach
"I think he will be fantastic at Kentucky. The man is a winner. It might be amazing what he can do at Kentucky, based on what he's done at other places. You put Tubby Smith at Kentucky and wow, it's dynamite!" Dick Vltale, ESPN Color Analyst
"Tubby Smith at Kentucky is a great match, like a hand going into a warm glove. Kentucky could not have gotten a better coach who has experience, knows the program and can contribute to great tradition." Larry Conley, ESPN Color Analyst
"Any person, black or
white, who is going to
follow in the steps of Rick
Pitino, is going to have
a tough task because
expectations are so high.
He (Smith) knows the
system, plays the same
game, and has the same
mindset. So why not get a
disciple of Rick's?"
Damll Griffith, All-Time leading Scorer at Louisville
