Saying who we are and that we are built for March. It’s everything Cal is not.
Barney talking
- Thread starter Glenn Fohr
- Start date
He did not mention Cal at all during this part of the interview, saying that we will get back to where we need to be. I heard disappointment in his voice. He said that we build for March and play for titles. We all know that Cal dreams about draft night.
Mitch Barnhart says UK basketball is build to win SEC titles, SEC tournament titles, and to make deep runs but they failed to do that this year. "We disappointed ... Our responsibility is to make those deep runs."
Despite some posters thinking that Cal is above reproach, It is NEVER a good thing when your boss has to apologize for your performance.
Mitch said what needed to be said somewhat. While it was PC, it was his way of attempting to mollify the fans while simultaneously directing a pretty clear message to Cal.
Mitch Barnfart has 45,000,000 reasons to regret getting bluffed into the biggest contract blunder in the history of college athletics.
Yeah John Calipari was going to go rebuild UCLA for less money a year, better sell UK Basketball's Soul to him.
Mitch Barnfart might be the dumbest prominent public figure named Mitch in the state, and that's saying something.
And my above comments are exactly why an otherwise top tier AD is now beginning to press his basketball coach, he's starting to feel heat too.

This is simply Squeaky Wheel >> Grease
Funny to watch this desperate spin folks are trying to give it. I heard no changes. No plans for changes. Just tell’em what they want to hear and keep on driving.
Cal meanwhile is selling the program to recruits exactly the same way. MB knows this. So does everyone else in a position of responsibility.

I've been thinking about this a lot, if Sharpe declares, there's a strong case to fire Calipari with cause.
Cycle through my recent posts if you're concerned your hero might depart 1 year early, if Cal is complicit in defrauding sponsors by putting forward a narrative about an early recruit playing next year, while being privy to inside information that Sharpe was eligible for the draft, then I don't see how that could not be behavior detrimental to the university and it's interests, because pissed off sponsors stop being sponsors.
Laugh. Who would bring that case? Sure as hell not KY. Sharpe doesn’t know what he’s going to do. Consequently Cal doesn’t know what he’s going to do. This very simple fact eliminates any possibility of fraud. Further, Cal would be lawyered up to the teeth. The cost would be tremendous to KY with a counter charge of deliberately trying to manufacture conditions to abort the contract. Bad legal JuJu. Further, Sharpe is not under any contract or obligation to play. Nor is his NIL binding in any way for him to play at U.K. This is expressly forbidden by the NCAA. Research Memphis and FedEx. Further, UK reviews all these deals to protect their brand and involved parties INCLUDING SHARPE AND THE STAFF.
I expect Cal’s attorney might start salivating over that scenario. This would be a bigger screw-up than the BCG napkin.
Get real.
What message to Cal? MB just translated Cal’s coach speak for all those clearly lacking the acumen to grasp it. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn Cal and MB collaborated on the content.
Let me give you the abridged version. Nothing is changing. Take a chill pill.
There lies the problem. Nothings changing.
Apparently that’s what the school wants. It’s their damn program. Don’t like it, leave.
I don't know the legality of any of this. Plus, I am not sure yet that the correct decision is to have Cal leave or get fired, whatever. However, this is based upon Sharpe. If he lives up to his word that his intent is to be here next season and that proves true, fine. If not, then Cal needs to go.
I like to hear this from Barny. Maybe he'll surprise me and have a dead ringer replacement for when Cal leaves. But I almost guarantee that he doesn't.
You HONESTLY do not think Sharpe & his handlers know what they are going to do?
They have directed this drama since day one & your hero, Cal played right along
Nope. Not till they get the feedback from NBA scouts.. There is something really obvious you are missing. They know something you don’t know.
At least it appears he recognizes there is some unrest within a pretty large portion of the fanbase . I don’t really think there is such a thing as dead ringer anymore . Duke , UNCheat, Arizona, and UCLA are big time basketball programs that recently made coaching hires and imo , none of them hired a dead ringer .
Might not like the results but I will never leave. Do you not see any problems with the program now?
So what if I did? You think I’m dumb enough to rip them in public? That’s not constructive and it takes an arrogant ******* to do that. Do you think your Internet presence is SO important that bitching out the Cats as some random anonymous collection of bits on a site known to be frequented by malcontents matters? If I have a problem I take it to someone that can actually address it. Dogs howl at the moon. Near as anyone can tell nothing changed as a result on the moon.
Cal and Mitch have never seen eye to eye and apparently were never close. Now from what I heard this morning on KSR it’s way worse. Like they do not like each other at all.
Cal's Brigade coming to his rescue...Cal: Assemble the troops!
Cal's Storm Troopers are getting thinner and thinner...

Yep. I can even hear the tone of their voice getting trembly. Kinda like a cow in labor with a breach birth calf. They have a good chance of being screwed.
Its hard for his daughters to run and keep up w so many accounts...Give them a break, they are trying
Yeah, that should work out real well for Mitch. Maybe call us microwave fans again. Brilliant business advice.
Mitch may be encouragimg Cal to look for a new job. That's about all he cam do.
You seem intelligent.
Bass lives in Cal's colon...
I’m not sure you are qualified to assess that. I advise you not to make such statements about me. The mob will gut you like a fresh killed pig.
Been up there checking have you? Interesting to see your unrelenting obsession with Cal’s body parts persists.
