I don't know if there is a policy about this sort of thing or not, but now people on another board are saying TCAT has confirmed and theyposted about it on the Cats Pause, but it was deleted. this is the same thing that other people(insiders) are saying on a few other boards.. probably just rumors... just don't want this board to be left out of any loop watching the paint dry.. who knows if any of it is true.

Tubby is suppoesdly going to the bobcats, tcat and a few other insiders, and i use that term lightly have confirmed it, though the guy that posted about tcat was deleted and the other people i don't know.. if this were true, i am sure more people than would admit it, would welcome the change.. who knows ? i have learned about the rumor mill. i was just trying to go about this in a subtle fashion and to keep you and ukbob from jumping off the top pf alumni tower ;). probably just rumors, but they are more traffic than usual. who knows ?

It was definitely subtle. ;):lol:

And it should be treated as a rumor from another board and nothing else. I know I'm not buying it.

i aim to please when i say subtle i mean subtle... actually rumors from four different boards from different people, but i am classifying it as such, until i hear otherwise.

I have no idea what to make of these kinds of rumors (I don't even visit any other boards), but I do love me some good drama.

Buddah, if you could fake a press release that he had been hired by the Bobcats that would be the best practical joke ever :D:D:D

It appears, though I'm not sure this is true, that the original post was made on Dynasty Defenders.

If that's true, then I think I'll just wait and see, thank you.

There also seems to be some confusion about whether or not the rumor-starter is the real TCCAT or not.

I know for a fact that yesterday TCCAT claimed that Tubby was going to stay. I read that entire thread.

I think this is just a case of people wanting to believe something that's not gonna happen. Tubby may leave, but until i see something form some respectable news outlet i'm not buying. i'll agree that it's strange no changes have been made yet after Tubby promised that changes will be made. but, i just don't think these sources are correct. i wouldn't be shocked if tubby left. but, what i think is going to happen is that Tubby will make no changes to his staff and stick with his current guys hoping to prove they can get it done. if that happens then and only then will i support tubby moving on. until then, he's my favorite team's coach and that is that.

I read the same thing there and reserved judgement until other outlets start reporting. What does Hoover have to do with it anyway...some kind of inside info?

he says it is now TODAY true, suppoesdly it was deleted after another poster posted it on catspause, and the rumors orginated off of wildcatinsiders.

DC, i would do that for the laugh, but i fear mass sucide with some people including some of our mods here and lavender would hit the bottle hard:ggrin: .. and i don't won't that to happen. ;):lol:

fwiw, i don't believe any of these rumors, though usually where there is smoke there is fire.. who knows.

i would definitely call it a rumor. I know there's lots of Tubby bashers, but why would he even think about a move to an expansion NBA team where he might last just a year or so, when he can stay with UK as long as he wants.

It's getting out of control.

No, check that. It's been out of control since about November. I've seen "my source says" typed about 65,000 times.

If it's true, so be it. But I feel like, especially if we're talking about DD, there are a lot of people praying for this to happen. Not the most objective site on the web to say the least.

Horse crap is correct.

There are "insider" trying to make their mark on different sites. Instead of peeing on trees, they start rumors. People that hate Smith are eating it up, including some on here. It is a stupid cat fight in the worse sense.

OTS may or may not leave. I guarantee you nobody on those sites know for sure....NOBODY. Getting info from OTS and UK is like getting it from the CIA. And it is likely the CIA leaks info more often.

I will say that the rumors are rampant. I will also say that they do nothing from cause damage to the program in the long run.

If Tubby leaves, then so be it. I think he is here another year, but that is just and OPINION. You know...opinion. Something the "insiders" at rumor mill sites call "truth".

bob and Lavender, no need to be buzzkills!

If we know the answer is no, then squashing a rumor seems prudent.

If we have no idea (even if it seems highly unlikely it could be true), we might as well gossip. Season doesn't begin for a looooong time. I like rumors and drama to pass the time, don't you?

No.

You're assuming that these boards exist in a vacuum. They don't. Tyler Smith has publicly said that he was waiting to see if coaching situations were cleared up before he committed. Well, what do these rumors do to a recruit in that situation?

Could the folks at DD be trying to stir up these rumors because they are aware that it would affect Smith's decision?

I wouldn't put it past them. Their disgust for Tubby is deep. I know a few of them, and there is something very personal and very bitter about their points of view.

I personally think that criticism of the coach, even if its unfounded and/or incessant, is a lot less harmful than rumors. Rumors are the bane of these message boards.

You've misunderstood me for a long time if you believe this. :D

I've always said that the coach doesn't matter as much as many of us claim it does. Kentucky makes the coach and not the other way around.

The debate --at least my part in it - centers around what Tubby should get credit for and what he actually does get credit for. I think it's important that his legacy be written the right way once he does leave. The moment he leaves, though, whether it's tomorrow or five years from now, I will be behind the next guy 100%.

You remain delusional.

No Mod here would be suicidal, especially me, or distraught over the loss of this coach. You know absolutely nothing about any of us. But I do know that you and a host of others will remain miserable if Smith stays another year. Just think, another year of constant whining, rumor mongering and wishing for the return of the Rick or some "young" new face after a loss or bad win. WOW...I can't wait.

As Will says...UK makes the coach. It made Rick Pitino, Joe B and it made Tubby Smith. (Rupp made UK basketball or at least gave it the identity, IMO)They are only torchbearers for the tradition. When OTS bolts, we will continue to thrive.....even if we don't have a coach on one ofthe 40 wish lists. And unless it is Calapari or Pitino, I will back the guy 100%.

I agree. What is typed on these boards does affect RealLifeTM. We should all be careful with what we post both in criticism and even praise. Not saying don't ever post a rumor, but clearly label it as a rumor.

That's MTC.

It certainly now appears that what is going to happen is going to happen. There is no turning back from the future, even though the present has not yet revealed what the future might be, to some that is. If it is destined, then so be it, I say. Its time to admit that much.

I never said anything about a "boardwide conspiracy." I'm talking about a few fans who hold a big-time grudge. Weird folks who are not so much UK fans as they are coach jockeys.

And I don't find "rumor mongering" harmless. I think it's the most destructive thing about these boards. It never happens on WCN because, thank God, none of us have "sources"; on other boards it's rampant.

And I definitely think it has an effect. I can't prove that, clearly. But I can prove that recruits listen to what's said on here. So a little deductive reasoning shows that if (a) Tyler Smith has said that coaching stability is important and (b) Tyler Smith possible reads these boards then (c) a rumor about Tubby leaving might effect where he ends up.

I really could care less about the rumor. I have heard so many rumors over the past several years on UK msg boards about players, to coaches, to recruits, etc, etc. that have never panned out that it really only becomes more of a nuisance than anything.I won't be disappointed if it is true or false frankly, thoughI think a change for Tubby and UK is in the best interest of both parties. I don't think Tubby will ever be able to do enough to overcome the amount of negativity that exists around the program today.

Though I personally have questioned his recruiting and substitutions styles, I also don't lose sleep at night about having Tubby as UK's head coach and I am not going to pull a moving van up to his front door and tell him to get out...though I am sure some are at that point. If he stays I hope for better things to come next year and beyond. Certainly it was a disappointing season, but not the end of the program.

On a side note, I don't understand why folks hate so much on Calipari. Frankly, I think he'd be a fine coach for Kentucky should the job open up down the road. I like his approach to coaching and they way this teams play.No coach is perfect and if you want to dig dirt on someone (fact or fiction) you'll find it. Even Tubby has had people question his integrity with "the fax" and with some of the player turmoil. And we know Tubby is a good man. Things happen sometimes that may or may not be valid or a result of any wrong doing. But when you are in a high profile position and you win a lot of games, someone is always going to be looking for something to question. I guess I don't understand what Calipari has done that has made him such a horrible guy.

Anyway...rumor on if you must.

I have heard so many rumors over the past several years on UK msg boards about players, to coaches, to recruits, etc, etc. that have never panned out that it really only becomes more of a nuisance than anything.I won't be disappointed if it is true or false frankly, thoughI think a change for Tubby and UK is in the best interest of both parties. I don't think Tubby will ever be able to do enough to overcome the amount of negativity that exists around the program today.

Though I personally have questioned his recruiting and substitutions styles, I also don't lose sleep at night about having Tubby as UK's head coach and I am not going to pull a moving van up to his front door and tell him to get out...though I am sure some are at that point. If he stays I hope for better things to come next year and beyond. Certainly it was a disappointing season, but not the end of the program.

Excellent. I agree.

Ukbob, if Tyler does indeed like us that much that's great news. I've proclaimed over and over that we desperately need him, given our situation at the 3 after Bobby leaves.

Wow, what an unusual post.

************************************************** *

What's more important? The rumor, or the rumormongers that pump it up and spread it around and claim they didn't have anything to do with the rumor themselves?

KY makes the coach?

Myth.

Ah, I just wanted to throw out someone else completely random from this thread.



I respect you reporting what was read, as I don't frequent too many of the other boards. If people know going in that a rumor is truely that, there's nothing that hurts reading and discussing the rumor.



Sometimes the program defenders are as bad as the dynasty defenders.
