I mean, the irony is how dead wrong he is in this particular example.Shep is no-help, face-guarding Gohlke. No **** he’s not sitting in a help-side position.
You’re entirely missing his point.
What Cal told Reed to do prevented him from having his heels on the three point line and being in the way and making the ball handler think twice about having his way with his defender off the dribble and Honky Honkerson still had 10 3s anyways.
Happy F***ing Friday, Cat Fans!
This is the part of the Beyond The Music episode where the lead singer is a fat, botoxed mess too far down the bottle to even speak a coherent paragraph. Watching Brad Calipari sit in the stands dressed like Phil Spector's twink lover is like seeing a documentary on some weird Hollywood cult where people have had too much money and too little consequences for way too long and completely squandered it.
What are we even doing here? This is farce. It is a disservice to a bunch of good kids. Antonio Reeves has done nothing but drop buckets, smile, and be an awesome kid here. He tried to leave this season and, frankly, he seems like the voice of reason in the wilderness. Can he scribble on a marker board and not wear a tie? Put him in charge for f***'s sake.
What a great time to have a house cat AD.

Still laughing at me being worried about our seed line for the UNCW loss.
Oh when hope sprung eternal.
Good news is 365 days until we're arguing if $25 million is too much to pay for him to go away

Well the good news is I got the automated message from ESPN that Calipari is going to seriously mull over some changes after another early tourney exit.
I just hope its occupation and location.

I hope this anger maintains. I’m willing to sacrifice next year- “scare” off recruits, empty seats at Rupp, decline in ice cream sales, etc. for the change to happen.
Buying a ticket to Rupp at this point is the same as buying heroin for a junky. Wildcat fans have a solemn duty to *not* attend, imo.
This is too important to let some jagoff ruin.
If Cal doesn't resign/get fired, I'm going down to the UKAA offices...
Which tournament are you referring to? There are multiple tournaments which UK participates in and does not make it past the first day, so you’ll need to clarify.
I already hate Karter Knox so I'm officially in midseason form for next year on 3/22/24
I mean I've been the annoying, over the top, probably on the spectrum, loudmouth fan for 6 years now.
But I've also been right 100% of the time starting when they lost to Bruce Weber.

The most unbelievable part is how cimpletely believable it all was.
Woke up at 6:30 sad and pissed. What a wreck. What a mess. He has to go. Has to. I can’t even stand to listen to him
These type folks deserve what they are getting.
Here is another nugget.
The team had won a total of just two NCAA tournament games in the previous four seasons, and over the last two, it had lost 27 games. That's not supposed to happen in Lexington."
- John Calipari, from 2014
At this point I do not know how any of the big time boosters and UK Brass allows Mitch to continue to make any decisions related to its basketball programs let alone its AD after this mess.
You can fire someone, pay them a lot of money, watch them roll away with all your loot and f-off into the sunset.
Or, you can do everything legally you can concoct to make them want to quit and leave.

Calipari will not quit. Hes not Tubby. He is not a gentleman -- which is what previously made him great.
He'll make Jim Calhoun look magnanimous. The only way he will leave is when he makes his salary +$1 somewhere else that treats him like royalty.
Does Cal’s contract prohibit Mitch from moving his office into an old dirty *******?
UK is only obligated to pay him his salary. And I've said this 100 GD times. They DON'T HAVE to let him coach.
Pay him 9 million to clean toilets on campus, and hire someone, ANYONE else to coach. It's called "and other duties as prescribed by your supervisor." And if he refuses to clean toilets effectively for the remainder of his contract, follow procedures (write ups, verbal warnings, probation etc.) and fire his *** for fvcking CAUSE.
OR, he could agree to a mutually beneficial buyout.
At the end of the day, he IS a state employee, right?

We've already sacrificed the last 5, whats one more.
It’s 7:16 am and a few of you have broken Anth’s 5 post rule.
This brings up another bone of contention. I've BEGGED for a new GYERO to be started. UK basketball has been cursed for the duration of this one. It's not within my power to make this happen, but it DOES need to happen.
@MattJonesKSR -- your monologue to conclude the postgame show was a dignified way to say in public what needed to be said. Well done.
Current UK seniors have witnessed one NCAA tournament win. What a run for those kids! Just slightly worse than my 95-99 stint.
Same number of conference tournament wins and NCAA wins as Louisville the last 4 years. And 1 fewer then Indiana.
If only there was some documentation out there about what the opponent would be doing defensively and how to attack it....
The look on Jeff Shepp’s face after the game says it all.
Cal has become the thief who has stolen all of our joy. He is essentially the Grinch Who Stole March Madness.
Not attending another game with him as coach. I feel like a weight has been lifted.
He’s not stealing my joy anymore.

Best part of the night was seeing Earned not Given look like a complete tool in the background all game.
What time does the @ukcoachcalipari page long IG/Twitter siloquy drop today?
Guessing 3:26pm.

Watched a video on that place, and it looks like a blast. Too bad I won't be able to enjoy life anymore, until Cal is sacked.
For all the craziness in this thread, it's easy to find the real issues amidst the many posts of the years. Awakening to this narrative of our youth being the culprit and the real issue is a red herring and is insulting to anyone who's watched this team more than a few times over the past several years. No need to repeat everything but it's therapeutic at this point I suppose:
* Players first - Yep, some players. Lineup roulette.
* Lost on offense against a zone - Who could have expected that they would zone us?
* We WILL plan M2M against you - Defensively, we're easy to game-plan for.
* BLOB - Everyone here knows what we will and will not do.
* I don't just roll the ball out there - That feels like projection at this point. It looks like that's exactly what we do to prepare for big games.
Our team youth has been an issue at times, but not this year. Coaching. Malpractice. Again.
If memory serves, we wouldn't have even had Reeves if he had found a better option in the NBA draft or transfer portal... and we wouldn't have had Mitchell but for chaos at WVU. So we're supposed to tell ourselves it could have been worse I guess?

Cal is the Harold Baines of the Basketball HOF. Everyone knows he doesn’t really belong and will play nice when they are all together for some function but behind his back they all know better. Only problem is Cal isn’t in on the joke.
I had hoped this year would be different but we all knew it was going to end badly. Too many of the same problems that have plagued us not only in past seasons but all year once again reared their ugly head. Sad thing is that I, we, couldn’t be surprised at what happened last night. Now We can all hope for something to happen, a change to be made, but as Ellis Boyd “Red” Redding said “Let me tell you something my friend. Hope is a dangerous thing. Hope can drive a man insane.” I think I’ll see when American Pickers is on next.

What happened to "don't be mad at the players, be mad at me"?
People woke up and said, "Okay, we're mad at you (we always WERE)" and then it became the players' fault again.
