That has to be what he meant. Boston played bad most of the game was out there most of the time it seemed. Missed a lot of shots.
back to back to back turnovers too..

Bingo.I think it’s all about Boston’s NBA stock.
It’s clearly SO important to Cal that he produces NBA draft picks every year. And since Boston is his highest rated pro prospect, he thinks he must give him the most minutes and shots no matter what, come hell or high water.
I think having a kid who was projected as a top-5 pick go undrafted is one of Cal’s worst nightmares. He’s deathly afraid of losing his reputation as the NBA star maker.
LOL. You’re dreaming. You know, Cal is no longer considered the hot commodity he was a few years ago. Do you think there’s another job that will now pay him nearly as much as he still owed on his UK contract?As for the buyout the best thing for MB to do is meet with him privately and tell him it’s ok if he wants to go elsewhere . That he will give him his best recommendation that it’s really not in the best interest of the school for him to stay . Ask if he’ll give at least six months notice ?
And tell him we appreciate his time here but it’s just no longer working out .
We can’t afford a buyout but its really in our best interest if you relocate.
Do that and he will go of his own accord as soon as he locates another school to take his NBA factory to .
Excellent take UK90, very thought provoking.I think it’s all about Boston’s NBA stock.

Id rather be killed than to watch it!
...so you're saying Cal's no longer your hero?Bingo mfer exactly. Fox was right. He don’t care about winning games. All he’s interested in doing is developing players that need multiple years in school. I swear I think he’s getting a kickback from someone. At any rate, it’s time.
He was asked why Allen and Toppin didn't start the second half and answer was he wants to win every game he coaches but doesn't want to take their heart away.
It means he ain't going to answer the question.What does that even mean?
That’s insulting a lot of middle coaches I know.We have a middle school level coach right now in Cal lol
He doesn't care dude. Lifetime contract. Jellyfish AD. He is untouchable.Even though many have suspected it but Cal actually saying it out loud shocked me.Is he really that clueless that he isn't aware of how fans would take those remarks?

Actually, Cal misspoke when he said they were playing for March. He meant to say they were playing for November.I think he’s being sarcastic.
This is not anything new unfortunately, I said this a long time ago and tried at the time to call out Cal on the whole "it's a players first program ..." stuff. Of course I wanted our program to be known as one that took care of our players futures & put them first, but I always maintained if that's the case then why is it that seemed to be focused almost solely on the guys who had a chance to be mega millionaire?BINGO!!
To Cal, BJ's future is MORE Valuable than Dontai's. Therefore, BJ can screw up WAY MORE than Dontai and stay in the game, even if it means LOSING. So when Cal starts SPEWING all of his TIRED cliche's again, you know it's just BULL CRAP!!
I don't see why people are confused by Cal's comment. De'Aaron Fox spelled it out for everybody in that Barstool. KSR article where he stated "Cal doesn't care about winning games, he cares about getting players ready for the NBA".
So UK is paying Cal $9 million/year to help the NBA instead of winning games and Championships. Let that sink in.
I promised my 5 stars their minutes and I didn't promised Toppina and Allen squat and nba draft results means more than winning games.What does that even mean?
Yes the moment Allen started balling
I'll only watch it if we go 23-0 from here on out and cut the nets down in Indianapolis. Otherwise, I'm out.
Is the draft going to be in November again, this year?Actually, Cal misspoke when he said they were playing for March. He meant to say they were playing for November.
Because it’s never actually been a players first program, instead it’s been an “NBA prospect first“ program. Players who aren’t NBA prospects tend to get the shaft in Cal’s program and would generally get better treatment elsewhere.but I always maintained if that's the case then why is it that seemed to be focused almost solely on the guys who had a chance to be mega millionaire?
What was the stuff about Calipari blaming social media for his inadequacies?
I dont know who trips over their tongue the most , Matt Bevin , Donald Trump, or John Calipari. LOL.

That's not the whole quote though. He goes on to let everyone know he puts Allen at the end of the bench with the likes of ware and fletcher. Sounded like him getting more playing time isn't much of an option let alone a must.That’s how I took it. And thought this was the most pathetic, telling response I’ve heard from Cal.
Allen played more than his fare share yesterday. We didn't win.To the Cal nut huggers: what MORE PROOF do you need ? From Cal's own mouth, again: he's telling you he WILL play his 5 star golden boys ahead of guys who, you know, actually give us a chance to compete and win.
Sorry but that's a load of BS.If Boston is so weak minded that putting him on the bench will destroy him then he needs to go,You talk about not wanting him to lose Boston but what message does this send to the others?This does nothing to get players like Allen,Toppin,Ware and Fletcher to stick around.I Wouldn't blame any of them if they hit the road next season.But it's okay because Boston's feeling aren't hurt.That's not the whole quote though.

He basically just meant he doesn't want players to give up trying to come out of their slumps.
"I'm trying to win every game I coach and I have to juggle things like this. I don't want to do the wrong thing and lose a player for the rest of the year."
Exactly rightBoston’s fragile ego at the expense of team success. Pathetic
He'd take an *** whippin' from an irate parent if he was coaching middle school.We have a middle school level coach right now in Cal lol
No **** what in the heck are some of these Cal supporters watching. This, imo, is worse than Sutton’s last yearWell we won’t be playing in March this season. Sub .500 doesn’t even get you a NIT invite!
So what is Cal playing for this season genius?
I didn't say this. I was letting you know what cal meant. There's alot of speculation on what it meant ,but that's exactly what he meantSorry but that's a load of BS.If Boston is so weak minded that putting him on the bench will destroy him then he needs to go,You talk about not wanting him to lose Boston but what message does this send to the others?This does nothing to get players like Allen,Toppin,Ware and Fletcher to stick around.I Wouldn't blame any of them if they hit the road next season.But it's okay because Boston's feeling aren't hurt.

Define "a lot".Allen played more than his fare share yesterday. We didn't win.
Boston had alot of good moments yesterday. At this point nobody is gonna give him an ounce of credit no matter what he does well.
