exactly. Williams is a much better coach than Tubby IMO.

I could see it; I think the ACC "challenge" coaching-wise would invigorate him and I think he'd love to try to compete against Roy and Coach K. He's supposedly really close with Roy Williams too. And that's not meant as a knock on the Big10 coaches; they have some very good ones, obviously. But Roy/Coach K are another level up right now IMO.

Still, I don't really know why Maryland would want him; Williams is a better coach than Tubby IMO.

My bad.

Still, Williams to Tubby is a step down for Maryland IMO.

Williams was one of the best. One heck of a career there. Said even from a Duke fan.

I think they will look 1st for someone with ties to the school like Williams

Maybe that is a good thing for the Gophers though. I'm not sure how much to believe Sid, but the other day he said there is a player waiting to transfer in that Tubby likes but until Sampson makes up his mind there is no scholarship available. I'm not sure if Tubby needs to keep it with Sampson until after the draft or not though since I believe as long as no agent is hired he can still return if not drafted in 1st rd.

Wah hoo!

Ralph Sampson III has removed his name from the NBA draft and will return for his senior season at Minnesota. Sampson made the announcement on Monday. Coach Tubby Smith says the 7-foot forward entered his name in the draft to ``test the waters.'' He attended a pre-draft workout with other prospects before making the decision.
Sampson consulted with his family, including former Virginia superstar Ralph Sampson, and ultimately decided to return for his final season.
The younger Sampson averaged 10.2 points, 5.4 rebounds and 2.0 blocks for the Golden Gophers last season.

Tubby Smith Statement Regarding Surgery

“Amid speculation I want to make it aware that I did in fact undergo a procedure on April 21 at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester,” said Golden Gopher Head Basketball Coach Tubby Smith. “During my regular physical last spring it was discovered that my prostate-specific antigen (PSA) levels were high. A biopsy was done and it was discovered that I had early stages of prostate cancer. I am happy to say that the cancer was contained and removed and I am now cancer free and feeling great.”

“I want to thank Dr. Gettman and Dr. Litin at the Mayo clinic for everything they have done for me,” added Smith. “I am a proponent of regular prostate examines and hope that men, especially African-American men, continue to have regular checkups. Again, I am feeling great and can’t wait for the upcoming season.”
