LOL! Love posts like this. Totally vacuous.

you know this exactly how? How many plays? What are they fighting about?
People love to pile on.
What? I believe Kyle Tucker said something like this in the other post on RR.

You can't tell what's happening after Cal talks about Cam's attitude on Twitter, then says the same goes for everyone on the team? That Brooks, an injured player, is the only one who wants to talk to the media? That Cal clearly states Cam was upset over playing time, which I'm sure was a "fighting point" in the locker room? That Cal yelled at Clarke on the bench?

so he's fighting over control of the team.....umm don't play those guys who are fighting you for control? it's that simple. oh wait.... but then you don't get to have "gradution day" in june right?

thought you weren't going to be held hostage anymore? that's what you said about harrow, goodwin and wiltjer. even if you get waxed, play the guys who will fight, play hard and listen. if that's 3 walkons, dontaie allen adn terrence clarke or whoever then so be it.

Some people speculate it would be Mich ST. if he were to leave .
He would face the same situation at Michigan St. as he does here. He could go to Wastern, SIU, Evansville, Murray, or Belmont and play instead of wasting away on the bench. He is not going to play for Izzo over his top recruits either.

On a serious note, would we really take a flight from Indy to Lexington? Seriously?
If it was after the game it was CLEV, not INDY that we played UNC at. Cal already had screwed up and took a bus to the GA Tech game because he thought it was 4 hrs and then found out it was 6 hrs and said he would never do that again.

I think Izzo wanted him badly. He’s exactly the kind of player Izzo has success with.

You mean like what the insiders on the premium board posted? You’re a fraud.
I find it funny you think I have access to the premium board. Also if a story is posted on that board don't you think that person heard it from somewhere? Not like that board has a monopoly on UK info. I would be curious to see if their quotes and mine matched though.

I put take it fwiw don't shoot the messenger. Don't forget I also have shared other things. Wenyen Gabriel texts for one well before they were "released" on that board.

This suspension/stepaway/potential transfer has come directly from Cam talking "mad ****" about Calipari in the airport after he apologized to the team for his actions after the UNC game. Take it fwiw.

Where are the Assistants? Part of their job is to listen to players vent so this type of crap doesn't happen. You let them vent but also check their *** if they get out of line. What a circus.

Correct, but when Lance Ware has to step in between Cal and Clarke, that had to be some crazy yelling.
I’m sure they were making a point. Folks are just looking for a reason to over react. I get the CLOD hate thing but this is getting ridiculous. Oh look, there are clouds. Cal sucks. Oh look, there is a wreck. Cal sucks.

I'm just upset that Kentucky has gotten into the position where players must step away mid season through whatever reason causes it. I'll see how the season turns out, then go from there.

That may be the most sensible post I’ve read since this debacle started.

Seems pretty obvious to me that Cal butted heads with Fletcher after the game and told the kid to go home for Christmas and decide whether he wanted to be part of the team. Maybe Fletcher didn't take that to well and was heard running his mouth at the airport? That got back to Cal and then came the suspension?
Not sure if all of that fits, just trying to make some sense of this mess.

On a side note, a few posters mentioned our assistant coaches. They are essentially worthless...on many levels. Antigua leaving started the avalanche. Kenny Payne departing finished the job. Show me a current UK assistant that would be on anyone's list as a potential head coach hire.

The program is in a very bad place right now.

He didn’t play the one with the issue and the dude made a scene.

Thats exactly what Cal did. Make him accountable. Then if he doesn’t take it? Send him home to think. If the kid comes back, his attitude will have changed.

If not, then good luck.

i'm referring to the reports there are others with similar attitudes/issues. but yes i still agree with you. cal should send him home, and any that act out in similar ways. you can't do it, i don't care who you are and that's been an issue lately. others have been allowed to act out without consequence.

We don't really have assistants anymore they all just say "You're so awesome Cal, can I have my check please now?" Sad state of affairs looking at the UK bench. The only one I think even remotely worth their pay grade is Jai and he was only hired bc ppl were pissed about bruiser.

sorry, you'll have to go "Old School" for my response. My apologies.
I know what Oldschool is Justin, you just cant say "you're my boy blue" and ignore your complete gibberish before hand and try to attribute it to a movie quote.

Almost sounds like today's political climate.......disrespect is the thing of the day......

Was going to say something similar but didn’t want politics brought into a basketball forum. Really wish Cam didn’t react this way, but he is a kid! Cal on the other hand is an adult & what he did was wrong as well. I think Cal owes BBN and the parents of our kids an apology & it has nothing to do with Cam. In closing minutes of the NC game when players were coming to the bench, Cal was doing his usual screaming & hollering (think it was directed to TC) & was saying “WTF” were you doing, more than once! That behavior & language is not acceptable by any coach & TC wasn’t having any of Cal’s BS & Ware stepped between them. On National TV as well with only 3K fans which doesn’t provide crowd noise muffling as a cover. Cal’s cusssing at players has run its course & should be something he should & can stop doing. Can’t blame anyone other than Cal. Mitch needs to deal with this & quickly.

I’d much rather have Kenny Payne as the head coach right now. Cal’s dog and pony show has jumped the shark.

This will probably get deleted, but are you talking about the "That is why your ***** *** is headed to your second NIT in 11 years" or something along those lines ?
