AP: Coach’s Criticism? Gophs Say They’re Better For It

“When he says that stuff, some fans might think, ‘Oh, man, he shouldn’t have said that.’ But I think he’s just trying to build us up to be better players,” Hoffarber said.

Here's another similar one from Marcus Fuller in the PP, with quotes from Hoffarber, Sampson, Tubby, and Hoffarber's former coach Novak @ Hopkins (Joe Coleman's current school for those who don't know):

Both good articles, loved the quotes from Tubby and this from Ralph

“You’ve got to answer the challenge. You can’t back down from it. You can’t hide. You have to step into more of a man role and step your game up,” he said. “Keep answering and don’t let him allow you to challenge you the same way again. That’s how you grow as a person, grow as a man, grow as a player.”

Lets go get Iowa!!

Minnesotans (or fans in general) are idiots when it comes to sports. There may be things to criticize coaches for. Tubby "calling out his players" is not close to one of them.
