The above posts have left me a bit confused as to the point(?). Tubby was on Pitino's staff at one time along with many others who are now head coaches. Tubby (UK) and Rick (UL) have played each other many times since then and are friends. UK (now BG) and UL continue to play. I would assume Tubby and Rick were quite agreeable to meet (play) each other again as they have great respect for each other. It's a great open for the AZ stadium as these guys are two of the best. Expect to see more big-time coaches (such as Florida's Billy D, OK St's Travis Ford, Arkansas's Pelphry) who are part of that brotherhood, be on future MN schedules.
