Interesting thread [here](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=413548&highlight=tubby+smith) when UK fans were rejoicing over Smith’s firing.

Strangely enough Smith has done an exellent job of recruiting in MN. His players might not belong in college, but they are highly regarded on the hardwood.

Well, as it turns out, I feel exactly the same way as I felt in that thread two years ago. I wanted Calipari then, and I’m glad he’s here now.

Interesting reading, thanks. I wish I’d been a member here then…I could have added to the vitriol!
