Look dude, it’s common knowledge around coaching circles that Cal is a lousy floor coach and can’t with without enormous talent on his teams.
Lol, it's such common knowledge? He is literally in the HOF.

NC, 2x runner up, 6 F4s. Countless E8s, conference championships and tournaments, yet the guy can't coach!?!?!

For someone that can't coach, he coached circles around Pope when they played.

You all don't realize everytime you criticize Cal, you're belittling Pope as well.

Ask any coach, current or former, if Cal can win with avg talent.

Win what? Regular season games or tournaments?

I doubt many would win p5 or go far in the NCAA tournaments without major talent. But if we're just talking regular season games... he kind of just did win 20+ or so this past year with avg talent. Particularly for Cal. Fland was his best player and was out most of the year.
