The Pimp Pitino brought Kentucky to the heights of the highest Roman cathedral....


... then Tubby Smith takes over, coattails it like George Seifert for a ring...

(see also Bruce Weber and his rise and destruction program of Illinois basketball)

... and then over the course of a few years brings Kentucky hoops to it's collective knees, making it the laughing stock of historical dynasties... ending up starting some trailer-park 5'9" white guy as their starting point guard...


... BUT THEN IN COMES ANOTHER ITALIAN GODFATHER PIMP LIKE PITINO, DON CORLEONE CALIPARI, AND HE HAS BROUGHT BRAIN CELLS AND MAJESTY BACK TO KENTUCKY!!!!


There is a new genius pimp in town .... AND HIS NAME IS CALIPARI!!!

And now the question remains... where do terrible coaches go?

Tubby Smith is relegated to Minnesota. Eventually he'll destroy that program... will he hook up with George Seifert and Coach Willingham at some Division III university to produce great, glorious winning teams?
