Minnesota, Kentucky: Tubby Smith Headed to Minnesota




Tubby Smith Headed to Minnesota: Kentucky coach Tubby Smith has been hired as the new Minnesota coach. Smith was 22-12 this season and advanced to the NCAA tournament, but he has not won a championship since 1998. A struggling Minnesota program will get a much needed boost from Smith’s post season experience. Smith’s departure ends weak of speculation that the school might fire him. In the end, he left of his own accord. However, the rampant rumors likely did not encourage Smith to remain with the Wildcats much longer. [3/30/07]
