Great hire for Memphis IMO. I think Tubby is very underrated. Just look at Minnesota prior and post to Tubby...train wreck.
I can't give smith many props. He was decent at Georgia and peaked with a Rick Patino team while at UK in 98. Since then he's done nothing.
His assistants will be Pooh Williamson, Joe Esposito and Saul Smith -- all three of whom were with Smith at Texas Tech. He left with a 46 - 50 record over three years. Though he did get 19 wins last year.
This isn't too big of a deal, but it seems things are not kicking off on the right foot at Memphis either.
Memphis' Tubby Smith reassigns assistant which could interest NCAA
