Seriously people, Mr. Matta can recruit like hell, but he manages games like I play the guitar: woeful.
OSU has the best big-man and the best pure shooter in all of college basketball, yet, somehow, the Luck-Eyes manage to fall apart in every game in which they play a team with any spirit and/or guts.
Tubby-Hubby. When I first heard the news of this hiring, I cringed; the same way I cringed when Steven Cosser announced to our 7th grade Music teacher, Mrs. Reichel, that he wanted her to have his baby. After all, if you can’t recruit National Champions at Kentucky, how the H-E-double-Joe Mauer-Hamstrings are you gonna recruit at the U of Misery?
However, the more I thought about it, the more I came around to liking the idea of re-treading the coach with the worst nickname in all of Jenny Craig Nation. Tubby’s a winner, period. He won at Tulsa, Georgia, and Kentubby. TUBBYLICIOUS!!! (hmm, for some reason the spellchecker is ignoring ‘tubbylicious.’ Consider it a good omen.)
Frankly, it doesn’t matter where you coach: no matter how deep the tradition, no matter how many hookers your Lacrosse team feels up: today’s kids could care less. They want to play for a guy they can trust, and for a program that’ll get ‘em to the Big Dance. The classy Tubby can provide both in the over-exposed and overrated Big 10.
Tubby-Nation T-Shirts anyone?
