Billy Tubbs, former Oklahoma basketball coach, dies at 85
Billy Tubbs, the colorful coach with the high-octane system known as Billy Ball who brought Oklahoma basketball to prominence in the 1980s, died Sunday. Tubbs had a 333-132 record in 14 seasons at Oklahoma and was four time Big Eight Coach of the Year. โWe are deeply saddened by the passing of Coach Billy Tubbs,โ Oklahoma athletic director Joe Castiglione said in a statement. In 2011, Lamar dedicated the basketball floor at the Montagne Event Center as โBilly & Pat Tubbs Court,โ named in honor of the coach and his wife. โActually, that was a true statement,โ Tubbs told the Kansas City Star years later.
