kidding
Saul Smith wants to coach college basketball.Good for him. Bad for the first team he coaches.
At Kentucky, Saul got playing time by virtue of his last name. But Tubby was kidding himself; Saul wasn't a legitimate starting point guard for a national championship team.
After Kentucky, a short stint in the NBDL, and several years as an assistant, Saul will get a head coaching job by virtue of his last name. But again, the AD who hires him will be kidding themselves; Saul won't be a legitimate head coach at any mid-major institution that hopes to compete for an NCAA Tournament bid.
