OU Assistant Jimmy Tubbs to be named SMU Basketball Coach
Quite a gamble. Former SMU assistant. Former Kimball HS head coach. Terrific recruiter.
Should be up on the DMN website soon.

RE: OU Assistant Jimmy Tubbs to be named SMU Basketball Coach
Good hire. His recruiting prowess is well documented, but I think people are underrating him as a bench coach. I played against his teams a couple of times in high school and they lived to play defense. If they weren't pressing the hell out of you then his point guard was pressuring the ball from end line to end line. Offensively they liked to run, and they were disciplined in their half court sets.
If he has a weakness it'll probably fundraising and glad-handing alumni. That being said, it’s good to see SMU go out on a limb as opposed to making the "safe" hire. I just hope that he really impressed Turner and Copeland in the interview process. I would hate to think that part of the reason for the choice is that they don't think he'll pressure them into upgrading the facilities the way some of the more high profile candidates would have. What happened to Dickey? Were they not willing to wait until OSU’s season ended? As far as recruiting Dallas, he pulled in Jason Sasser, Tony Battie and Andre Emmit. Not bad. Seems to me it would have been worth the wait to at least talk to him. Oh well, congratulations to coach Tubbs.
