McDermott and Tubby

[Swanson10]

It gets old, doesn't it? That guy is the 10th member of my Ignore List. I'm one fan here who doesn't mind legitimate criticism but will not put up with a perpetually negative mindset and the resulting always-negative remarks.

It gets so old. . . .

I want to thank the list administrators here for providing the "Ignore List" option, a feature that makes the board a more enjoyable place to visit. (I hope I'm on the Ignore List of some people here, too; if not, I haven't been doing my job ;-)

I am honored, yet disappointed that i made the list with a bunch of hawks on it. Sorry my half logical thoughts bother you. I dont really care, glad you have me on your list and someone please quote me so this guy can read this. Ill stop criticizing when i start seeing results... I guess that what fans do? i dont know i could be wrond though.

Maybe it wasn't worded right but if you think GMac isn't going to try to learn something at a coaches clinic you would be wrong. Or if he isn't there is something wrong. He doens't know everything, neither does Tubby so I am sure they will both be talking about sets, philosphy, recruiting, etc.

And to cut down what Tubby Smith has done in his career is silly. He has won a national title, I don't care who recruited the players. He has never had a losing season, that is kind of a big deal. He is a heck of a coach.

Great post!

If McDermott is not out trying to learn from others that have had tremendous success (and Tubby has had tremendous success everywhere he has coached), then we are in very serious trouble with him as our coach.

I was ready to respond to a prior post knocking Tubby for "winning a National Championship with Pitino's players" but I realized that anyone that would look at Tubby Smith's entire head coaching career and take a shot at him and try to marginalize his accomplishments is just beyond reasoning with.

I did find it interesting that those that started this thread seemed to indicate that it was some sort of honor that this HS coach asked McDermott to speak along with Tubby. I guess those posters must hold Tubby in pretty high regard. Do you think there is a thread on a Minnesota fan site somewhere out in cyberspace where the posters think it is an honor for Tubby to be asked to speak with McDermott?

I guess this fairly sums up the way, I feel about your consistent comments about Greg McDermott.....

If you're referring to me, I never equated Tubby speaking with it being an honor for Mac to speak there. It's just simply that you must be considered good at something to speak to coaching peers.

As you apparently feel the need to be argumentative and redundant in your posts, please carry on, but don't put words in my mouth. Look closely, I never praised nor denigrated Tubby's coaching abilities...that would be rude. I'm sure you'd never do that either.
