Some other tid-bits from the chat:
On rumors of players not enjoying playing for Tubby and possible transfers:
"I don't know about the first part. But there are rumors out there that some players are thinking about transferring after this season. Like I said, I think there's a disconnect between coach/some players."
On RS3's baseline drive and dunk:
"I watched that play like 15 times on DVR!!!! I was shocked. That play had "NBA" written all over it. In one burst, Sampson showed the world how talented he really is. Now, if he can put those skills together on a consistent basis, he will change the framework of the program."
On Cory Joseph:
"Cory Joseph hasn't signed. He might sign. Big difference. Just ask the guy who thought he won the lottery until he realized he missed the final number. And I never said Tubby's system fails to produce stars. Hello. I follow the NBA and I know all of the former Kentucky guys who are collecting NBA paychecks. I did say, however, that UCONN, Villanova ... two other schools Joseph is considering ... feature better systems for what Joseph wants to do ... penetrate, become a playmaker..."
On the Gophers getting favorable foul calls:
"For whatever reason ... the Gophers don't get calls. Not at home. Not on the road. It's bizarre. You'd think officials would give Tubby more respect, but it rarely happens. I think officials are quick to blow the whistle because of Minnesota's defensive pressure. Colton fouls so hard that it's nearly impossible to miss it. He has to learn the art of "I just fouled you, but only you and I know it." Offensive fouls are all about body control."
Go Gophers!!
