We can argue Tubby Smith and Richard Pitino all day. The fact of the matter is people have been calling Pitino the worst coach that we've ever had. If you look at minnesota's coaches all-time there isn't much difference between any of them. Tubby and clem have 3 tournament appearances and richard has 2. Musselman and Dutcher have 1. One thing Tubby, Richard and definately Clem share is they all suck at winning big ten road games! Yeah you take away everyone's year where there was lightning in a bottle and pretty much every coach that has ever coached here is the same! Pretty average. We can rip on Pitino, but if you look at things, you might think he's the worst coach we've ever had, or he's pretty dam close to being the best we've ever had. lol Yes, absolutely we should expect better and crave being like virginia or texas tech, but we all complain about tubby or richard when in reality we should be mad at the fact that this program has been stuck in mud for about 100 years now. Yes, like i said we every now and then get that great year, but then we go right back to being average. Can we be texas tech? Of course we can, and i, along with all of you, would love to be a consistent winner. Someone out there, maybe Pitino, maybe not, can lead us to this.
