First time I remember he ever had that many players coming back, at Ky it was one and done most of the time.

….seeing Calipari win a game against a decent team. I despise him.

I remember Arkansas fans despising him. Funny, they have amnesia about that now.

I’m not concerned though. He’ll choke when it matters. Zero doubt. His ahole will pucker up tighter than a snare drum in the tournament. He’ll let some lesser talented team bait him into a slow tempo, and he’ll piss away another overwhelming talented team to an early exit.
I hope he keeps winning so Idiots like you cry more

lets not forget, Cal took a uk team with him to arkansas.

Coach Pope brought like 2 or 3 players?

The comparison heavily favors Cal only because he is a hof college coach while Pope is young, Cal took UMASS to household name in a matter of years....Pope is going to probably be like most college coaches. Cal is not the typical college coach.

and this mindset is why this job has become impossible and one no one wants or wants to play for. the toxic culture created by fans have contributed significantly in the past 5-7 years

That Ark team not only has “talent,” it has some good players right now. Brazille is Ark’s best player and probably should be a 1st team All-SEC. The two Centers compliment each other and play their roles well for that team.

Still, that Ark team is not as good as it could be in my opinion. Both Wagner and Acuff should not be starting. One should come off the bench as the backup PG. Wagner is not effective as a 2G. You can have doubts about Wagner’s competence as a PG, but from everything I’ve seen over 3 years now you should either play him at PG or not at all. Last season Ark was much better with Wagner at PG after the “stud” PG Boogie Fland got hurt and a better 2G option slid in beside Wagner.

The question for me in regard to Ark is will Calipari hamstring the team to ensure Wagner starts alongside Acuff or enhance the draft pick status of a freshmen 5-star. This Ark team would be pretty good even without a single freshman. Can Calipari accept that in moments when it’s down to the end and winning time, and the best unit at that moment might not include a draft pick - I don’t think so?

How old was Cal at UMASS?

Pope's only been a head coach for a couple of teams out in Utah?

Wait, so they were booing him when he was coaching another team now they like him because he is winning games? No way.

Cal is gone, who gives a shvt what Cal does or doesn't do. Don't let him live rent free in your head. It should be like your grade school girlfriend. What was her name?

I don’t want to hear it. You could see this coming a mile away. Here’s another hot take for ya. It was Mitch that fumbled cal. He had 13 years to build a relationship with his uber successful charismatic coach that he himself hired. Cal ended up on an island and Mitch drove the ship away and left him.

I know he wasn’t finishing seasons strong anymore, but he still had it in him. We are learning every day that cal won the breakup.
If you're not finishing seasons strong anymore, than no, you don't really have it in you anymore. Unless, of course, you've lowered the bar.

St Peters and Oakland made me sick to my stomach as did the last 4 minutes of the Wisconsin game in 2015.

Don't forget that folks.

Personally… I am glad Cal is gone…got old losing to Cal every year at UofK. If there is one game he decides to coach well in…it is against Louisville…never understood that.

Absolutely.

There seems to be some revisionist history going on re: Cal.

Cal SUCKED 5 YEARS IN A ROW, and blew the 2015 title... NEVER FORGET THIS!
