Wow! (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncb/news/story?id=2808406)

I cannot believe he is leaving 4 remaining years on his contract.   But to go to Minnesota?!

Good move, there's no legacy in MN and they need some serious reorgnizing of thier basketball program.

Bye Bye 10 loss Tubby :D

He left like a theif in te night wearing his KY blue after a taping of his weekly program, Not a very respectable exit after 10 years on the bench

And how much did KY have to fork out in his contract when he left?

263-83 in 10 years averages  26-8 per year.

According to ESPN.com, "Kentucky will still honor the $1.5 million incentive bonus that Smith is due on April 3."

He'll be a better fit in MN, and the HS coaches are already interested in keeping their talent local. His style of play also benefits the Big-10 and not the run-and-gun SEC.

He'll graduate more players, but MN won't ever win a national championship.
