According to ESPN, Jimmy Williams, a former OSU and Minnesota assistant coach has sued Tubby Smith for Negligent Misrepresentation.
This comment is not an indictment of Tubby in any way, and to be honest, I couldn't see Tubby making this kind of an error, if it is indeed true. Williams alleges that Tubby told him he wanted him and could get him the kind of money he wanted. Apparently the coach was denied hire due to being involved with NCAA violations in the past. There has of yet to be any comment about the case by Tubby or the University of Minnesota.

Going nowhere.
Coaches who sue their former employers reduce their chances of getting another job.

Tubby just doesnt strike me as the kind to do something like
this without getting prior approval, but he probably felt like he had autonomy over staff hires….something he wasnt sure he had here. Maybe he didnt know about the NCAA violations?
Remember, we're having fun now!!!
Double Standard
On the surface and early in the process but isn’t it intriguing that John Calipari gets hung on the media cross for being unaware that a Chicago HS student allegedly cheated on an entrance exam while Orlando Smith has thus far escaped criticism for being unaware during the employment process of a coach’s alleged indiscretion. It will be interesting to follow the media’s reaction and see if they can call up similar scandalization.

I think Tubby is guilty.
My only questions are:
1. Where are the TV stations in investigating this story?
2. How come the Star Tribune isn’t doing an investigation?
3. Why doesn’t the media get William’s side of the story?
Sheesh, the Gophers must have the entire Minneapolis in their back pocket. It’s a crime, I tell you. It’s a conspiracy.

The Dirty Rat
Of course Tubby is guilty! Look how he left the basketball program at Kentucky! I think he also had something to do with the problems at Memphis, the investigations at Alabama and Florida State. Probably the weather around here and every thing else that’s wrong with the world.
Let’s see how the court’s rule or maybe we can simply ask Mr Cheek if Minnesota should fire him right now.
How Utterly Ridiculous
Mornoic comments.

I still can't find 'mornoic' in the Webster's.
