Absolutely. Remember after UK won the title in 2012 and they interviewed Cal after the game and he said he was happy to get a championship so he can get back to coaching kids. It was weird as if he didnt care and it wasn't his main goal. Cal and his players said as much several times.
Cal usually gets out coached, but there was a time the talent level on his team compensated for that.
That was prototypical Coach cal game against a ranked opponent. Get down big. Fight back. Make it somewhat of a game. Lose it at the end. How many times did we see that here?
Eh the washed up coach took them to a Sweet 16 in his first year at Arkansas, and an OT away from an elite eight........and a top 25 ranking this season.
I can give Cal some grace on that. I can honor his teaching heart- but dog gone it- you don't go to major basketball schools then. Go to Oregon St. Go to Cal (the school). Go to FIU or something.
Let's be fair- they started out like garbage last year. And got lucky to face a very weak KU and run into Pitino (who Cal just kicks his *** every time they meet).
And choked away a 16 point lead in that sweet sixteen. Text book Cal
Yes yes, please give us that back. / sarcasm
That St Johns team was good tho. I think regarldess it was a sucessful season for them especially from the 10 seed position.
Not to say I think Cal is going to be taking them to final fours or winning titles anytime soon.....or ever.
But that's still not bad for someone supposedly washed up.
I am fine with that. That does not mean a UL fan should spend his lonely life trolling a UK board.
Why couldnt he do that here the last few years? Bottom line was Cal's ego became to much to control. He pushed away Mitch, Donors and Nike thinking he could do it all himself. Cal was the sole reason for his struggles. Appreciate the first several years but it was time for him to move on. It just was.
This. The money had dried up. The La Familia Collective had raised a pathetic amount of funds after the Oakland lost.
ANY coach that loses to a mid major with not one but TWO T10 draft picks has earned the criticism. And I'll be honest, I'm struggling to find if it's ever happened in NCAA history. I know Duke dropped some opening rounders but I don't think they had two T10 picks.....
Oh I'm not saying we shouldn't have moved on from him I'm just saying he isn't washed either lol.
I guess the point I was trying to make was yes Cal can still recruit well just based on his history but he will never sniff a final 4 or Championship again. So let him be ho hum somewhere else.
Cal is absolutely washed. He’s a shell of his former self. Could he get a little lucky and a road open up? Could he get to a final four? It could happen, but it’s unlikely.
Cal used to be likely to at least get to final fours with his teams. He’s no threat to ever win the conference again, he’s really not a serious threat to win a title. Too much going against him. His system is wildly outdated and he loses to nearly every top ranked teams he plays.
for a guy who had what Calipari had you’re way off the the mark. That’s washed. Sorry buddy. Wrong again.
