There is no bigger discussion forum for UK basketball fans right now than the fate of Tubby Smith. For years he has been a polarizing figure backed by thousands of fans and criticized by many others.

Rick Pitino would have to be near if not at the very top of the list of the best men's college basketball coaches. He's shown he's a winner at every school he has coached, while keeping each program as clean as can be, and in some cases elevating them back to elite status.His energy at Providence was clear as a young, up and ...
