Congrats to Tubby Smith
From USA Today:
http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...ng-award-to-be-given-to-tubby-smith/73889094/
"Texas Tech's Tubby Smith will receive the John R. Wooden Award's Legends of Coaching honor in April.
The annual award recognizes coaches who exemplify Wooden's standards of coaching success and personal integrity.
Smith will receive the award at the ESPN College Basketball Awards show in Los Angeles on April 8."
From Wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tubby_Smith
Smith began as assistant coach at Virginia Commonwealth University under his former High Point coach J. D. Barnett. From 1979 to 1986, VCU amassed a 144–64 record, winning three Sun Belt Conference Championships.[1]
Smith took two important things away from his experience as an assistant coach for the Rams. First, under Barnett, Smith learned the principles of the ball-line defense, a hallmark of Smith's teams throughout his head coaching career.[1] Second was a relationship with fellow assistant David Hobbs, an assistant and associate head coach under Smith during his tenure at the University of Kentucky
