***OFFICIAL MINNESOTA AT PENN STATE IN-GAME THREAD***

Why would Tubby Smith check out at a B1G School? The administration.

Specifics, please. Not just a vague "administration" reference, but what are the specific things the administration did or is doing to hold Tubby/Richard back? Am curious where you're coming from.

Richard's a lot more engaged and animated than Tubby was on the sideline. I am calling Bull**** on this. A Big Ten coach would rather work for a crappy administration than not have an administration to work for, they still have a job to do

Why did Tuby check out when he was here then?

That's about the answer I'd expect (a non-answer) out of a guy championing "Jim Peterson" for the Gopher basketball job.

I doubt that Jim would check out and we would see a full effort from the team in every game.

I love how I tossed out Jim Peterson at random and all the Lil Ricky bobos keep making the case that JP could be better than Lil Ricky.

The defense is pathetic and that's on Pitino. The offense just stands around and watches the guy with the ball, that's on Pitino.

Interstingly, the offense seems very much like Tubby's offense. But, that is not what we saw the first two years of Pitino's regime. I don't expect to see this sort of stagnation for the entire year. At least, I hope we don't see that lack of ball movement.
The defense has been bad.

I wonder if having two bigs, where English is the 2nd language, has hurt both the offensive and defensive communication. Probably not, since our defense is weak when those two are not in the game. It's just a thought.

You're giving me a headache.

"Tubby checked out because of the administration."
"What specific things are the administration doing to hold our coaches back?"
"Tubby checked out."
"You didn't answer the question."
"Jim Peterson would never check out."

I think his mom or dad took his X-box and Cheetos away from him, and now he's hopping mad.
