Uh, one coach won the NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP twice, in addition to multiple conference championships or conference tournament championship trophies. Tubby, meanwhile, has... um... well...
When the hockey team struggled, Lucia had reasonable excuses. Interestingly, he didn't rely on them, but instead accepted responsibility. Meanwhile, when the basketball team struggled, Tubby blamed the players, the cities and the culture. Or, he blamed Blake Hoffarber for not being a point guard when Tubby himself ran off all other options.
This team is not like the hockey team. Tubby can't recruit. He can coach basics but can't coach in-game strategy. Worst of all, no one enjoys playing for him. Tubby has checked out. Clearly, Don Lucia has not.
Gophers basketball might be as dead now as it was when Tubby took over. The team is dead and hopeless. Next year looks no better. Williams Arena is dead and hopeless, and next year looks no better.
I won't say "Fire Tubby," but the basketball program is in worse shape then any boosters are willing to admit.
