Cal postgame....

[kyjeff1]

I’d rather someone paraphrase it. I’m to aggravated to watch the video so I understand why they asked what was said lol

He took the blame for "running his circle stuff, it worked with his previous teams, but this team isn't good enough and It was stupid to try it". He said he ran the plays to get Sarr snd Brooks a three point shot. Sarr's went down, Brooks' didn't.

Said Askew played all those minutes because he really doesn't have anyone else. It’s Askew and Mintz. Said Askew got hurt in practice a couple days ago and was going to try to run BJ at point (#disaster).

Said Allen didn’t play the 2nd half because he wanted to stay with the lineup that was working. And, Missouri was going right at Allen and he was getting beat.

Like I said, I have no problem with these things. The damage was done when Cal let 4 players jump that come back to school at any other program. Hagans, Juzang, EJ and Richards should still be on this team. That's the problem.

BJ at point guard is just what we need.Good Lord!

 

[sam_o]

cal looks whipped man. dude has lost all his shine

Due to Cal allowing 4 G-League talents to leave, this is the mess we live in.

 

[westerncat]

Boston's defense was not any better but he continue to play him.

Well, what's he gonna do about it? That’s the question I have.

If I were him, I would make sure this never happens again. Of course, he said that after 2013

that’s the million dollar question man. or the 10 million dollar question more specifically

I agree 100 percent. The NBA environment that Cal has created here has brought success and failure because it’s a double edged sword. Some players are good enough to leave early and some aren’t... that’s led to players leaving that had no business doing so. Hagans could have made a huge difference on this team

 

[Madcat62_rivals113839]

He basically said Allen's defense sucked so much in the first half that he didn't play him in the second half.

so why did askew play so much again.

 

[yoshukai]

I bet Jerry Tipton has a hard-on!

Both inches!

 

[kyjeff1]

so why did askew play so much again.

Because Cal is breathing out of the wrong eyelid and the rose is not facing forward.
Oh, we also need to cut the head off a live chicken.
And candles make a nice wedding gift.

How many times have folks said he needs to trash can his circle cut offense and simplify things for these guys. Just space the floor and let them play. How can he not recognize from 10 feet away that they are as awkward trying to run those out dated patterns as a new born colt on ice

 

[sam_o]

How many times have you folks like me say me needs to trash can his circle cut offense and simplify things fir these guys. Just space the and let them play. How can he not recognize they are as awkward trying to run those out dated patterns as a nes born colt in ice

it was evident after game 3 this team did not fit his circle cut offense. should have spread the floor and played uptempo and used size and athleticism from the jump. this team does not have the skill to play half court basketball

 

[yoshukai]

We move the needle. Everyone's Super Bowl. These players are kids. What was I thinking with making this schedule. Every team has t-shirt night. If you don't have a big man you're a fraud. We need a tweak.

It’s actually “ we ARE the needle” ....or was it noodle? That seems so long ago.

He only knows one way to coach, but hey, he managed to fool all those HOF voters. Kudos to Cal.

 

[CatsRWild]

I know We focused on Allen’s 7 minutes vs Askew and Boston who didn’t do a lot tonight and Boston’s D was why we never overtook them in the second half.

Brooks was playing well and was also forgotten for long stretches. 24 minutes and put up a solid line, likely should have played more himself. Jackson only can dunk and play defense. Ware battled tonight with Sarr In fouls trouble and manhadlrd by the Mizzu bigs

What is Cal And more importantly his assistants doing who should be helping with player rotations tracking stats and who’s on off that night to help with mid game adjustment . Heck at least Brooks and Allen should have gotten 5 more minutes apiece just to spell the favorites so we’re at least fresh at games end when we get beat in these close games.

The first 10 minutes and last 5 of EVER game is so atrocious. And that’s on our coaching and that same lineup he’s glued too. Get guys into the game sooner, stop waiting for 6 minutes into a game/half and we’re down 8-10 to bring in guys. Jeez. And Askew is not a closer, that’s clear. The tech and out of control play down the stretch cost us along with multiple breakdowns on defense by Boston. Mintz was playing well and others. Just sit Askew the last 5 minutes maybe play out differently. But we’ll never know.

 

[CB3UK]

He might as well get up there and sing Yankee Doodle Dandy.....will get as much out of it.

I believe we've heard enough doodle out of this yankee.

 

[fatguy87]

Allen should be playing 30 minutes per game at least. Cal is gargling cat piss whenever he addresses Allen's PT.

 

[fatguy87]

it was evident after game 3 this team did not fit his circle cut offense. should have spread the floor and played uptempo and used size and athleticism from the jump. this team does not have the skill to play half court basketball

Down the stretch against Alabama, we ran a play to get a quick 3 for Allen. He canned it.

It makes you wonder, why don't we ever do that during the course of a game? It felt like a gamble to Cal to run such a play. Generating an open look for your best shooter at any moment in the shot clock is not a gamble. He's too attached to an outdated paradigm.

 

[ukwazoo]

Boston's defense was not any better but he continue to play him.

Boston's defense is brutal, but he's the golden child, so ....

 

[CincyUKFan]

Boston's defense was not any better but he continue to play him.

Boston’s D to close the game was atrocious. Watch the last 10 minutes. Multiple possessions where Boston took a bad shot on one end and gave up a layup on the other.

I just can’t stand that Cal says one guy’s bad D means he rides the pine, while guys like Boston and Askew play terrible defense, make game-losing turnovers, and he says nothing.

 

[BigBlueManSouthCentralKY]

He basically said Allen's defense sucked so much in the first half that he didn't play him in the second half.

Wonder which guys that did play most of the game allowed them to score 75 points? All the other guys kept letting them drive it and shoot threes wide open and stupidly fouling Smith over and over is OK?

 

[daveroh]

There’s not a current public figure that lacks self awareness as much as Cal.

I think joebama has cal beat but Cal gets paid more?

 

[Pickle_Rick]

Both inches!

That right there is wicked funny. You win the interwebs today.

 

[CatStucknWA]

I thought Allen was struggling to get a clean shot, and with his lack of athleticism - and a lack of offensive scheme for him - he was benched 2nd half...not a popular call, but it is what it is.
My frustrations is two-fold:
1. With the lack of offense, why not try to run a team out of the gym? We have the athletes, but we don't push tempo.
2. This high screen where the big falls back to the basket - that play used to work almost EVERY time - but it seems our guards don't even look for the bigs....

 

[Trinity45]

He looks whooped. Someone finally asked what he sees in Devin Askew that makes him think he deserves all the minutes he’s getting. I loved it. Been Waiting on that question. Cal just said he only has so many guys to play. Then Cal was asked if Dontaie got hurt in the 1st half is the reason why he didn’t play the 2nd. Finally the reporters are asking some real questions. Keep it up guys, make him resign.

I am so tired of Cal speak, he says Allen's plus minus is bad, yet Askews plus minus is worse and plays more minutes than anyone. Cal is an arrogant a hole who can't handle actually having to coach and not just roll the ball out and let the superior talent win the games.

 

[warrior-cat]

Man he looks bad. Don't like what he is doing but, don't like what it is doing to him either. Pray for Covid relief package for Cal. AKA, season ended due to Covid.

 

[sambowieshin_rivals]

He basically said Allen's defense sucked so much in the first half that he didn't play him in the second half.

He's not wrong about Allen's D....but I didn't see anyone else playing much better D honestly.

 

[RKulmer]

There’s not a current public figure that lacks self awareness as much as Cal.

Pelosi, Schumer and McConnell come to mind.

 

[MethodUK]

what if it was you son

English?

 

[Jmeeks54thebest]

The guy we needed back was IQ, not Hagans. I, not convinced Hagans would improve our situation with the antics he was throwing in his last season. You’d really want Hagans in the same locker as Fletcher, and to a lesser extent, Clarke? Idk, seems like they’d all be fanning each other’s flames.

but I do understand why people want him back. He certainly would be playing good D and running the offense better than any other PG on the roster on paper and in theory. I’m just skeptical, at best, he would buy into the team over himself given what we heard about him in the locker room.

I think the reason we ended up losing him was because 1) he and Cal didn’t get along and 2) I think Cal was trying to get IQ back. At least more so than any other player that wanted to go.

Should’ve gone harder after EJ and Richards. Definitely. But even with both of them back I don’t see our record being dramatically different without a competent floor general and team player at the pg position.

 

[TortElvisII]

Askew got one for chewing on a ref. He comes out. We go on a run. Puts him back in. Game over.

I was told this didn't happen. I was told it was always two or three points in the second half. It's amazing how people think they can make up their own facts. The same people that said that Whitney should start over IQ.
