Tubby helps push for health care reform

Herald-Leader Wire Services

September 23, 2009 12:00 AM

Tubby Smith was among NCAA basketball coaches who joined forces Tuesday on Capitol Hill to push for quick approval of health care reform.

"Now is the time to press full court," Notre Dame Coach Mike Brey told about 200 American Cancer Society activists and others, adding, "And foul a little bit."

Smith, the former Kentucky coach who now is at Minnesota, and Brey were joined by John Thompson III of Georgetown, Ed DeChellis of Penn State and Oliver Purnell of Clemson.

They are among hundreds of members of Coaches vs. Cancer, a group of college basketball coaches who have worked with the cancer society to help raise $50 million to help in the fight against cancer.

The event was a push to guarantee health coverage for all, regardless of pre-existing conditions, and require minimal or no deductibles for cancer-screening procedures.
