Tubby operating more silently this off-season

Filed Under: Minnesota Gophers, basketball    by: admin

When he came to Minnesota last year, Gophers men’s basketball coach Tubby Smith made a large, noisy splash in the Big 10 pool, putting together an outstanding draft class in his first season on the job.

This season, Tubby’s just as hard at work, but operating a bit more silently. Coaching a Big 10 program is sometimes like sales manager jobs; sometimes you need to be loud to get results, and sometimes your approach needs some stealth to it.

With a couple key commits already, one of them a solid gold Top 40 recruit, Tubby Smith could very well put together an even better recruiting class this season than he did last season. This time, though, he’d just not doing it with trumpets blaring.

As long as he’s this effective, I don’t really care one way or another. Go, Tubby!
