Tubby trouble
In 1997s, then Kentucky athletic director C.M. Newton needed a coach to succeed Rick Pitino at the helm of his school’s legendary basketball program.
The Wildcats were coming off consecutive Final Fours, including the 1996 national title, so Newton decided the most important criteria would be pure coaching ability. He needed a proven coach to keep things rolling. He figured the other things – recruiting, program management, media and fan relations – while considered, would take care of themselves.

Tubby trouble pt. 2
It seems no amount of Smith coaching acumen can overcome his program's chronic and repeated failures in recruiting, roster building and chemistry. For Smith, the challenge has never been coaching, but managing a basketball program that is far more cultural force than team.
Kentucky is a decent team. And Smith is, generally, milking almost everything out of them in the face of a ferocious schedule. But since when did a program with this much support, tradition and history start being satisfied with "decent?"
