Pitino's Knicks squad was middle of the pack when he left for UK.
I don't think you realize how overrated the lure of the UK head coaching gig is. Getting rid of Cal isn't going to automatically bring the Pitino-era success back. Keep in mind who is going to be doing the hiring. Calipari was a great hire. Stoops seems to be a good hire as well (I don't really keep up with football). However, we've all witnessed the dumbassery of Mitch Barnhart.
It’s not hard for most to comprehend what I was getting at. Comparing a coaching search at Kentucky and Indiana is comical. To bad it was to difficult for you. With your new account you were most likely banned, including when you’re makings posts like yours.
Lol, I don't even think you comprehended what you wrote, let alone anyone else.
Donovan, Barnes, and Jay Wright have all said no before. That was when Jay Wright only had one Final Four to his name. I don't know where the "can get anyone they want" perception comes from.
2015 - 38-1, Final Four
Add Izzo and Lute Olsen back in his day. Donovan rejected us twice!
So your fine with hiring a coach with a mediocre win loss record? I’m not. so Barnhart better do his homework because Holtmann, Beard and Brey doesn’t do it for me and I imagine there are others that feel the same way.
He knows there are issues let’s see if he makes the changes before ship him off to Texas
Riled up? Lmao I was insinuating that since you joined the site “Monday at 1:14” that you have been banned on here before. Happens quite often. Including when someone makes such a bad comparison when comparing our program to Indiana.
You're definitely riled up if you're calling for bans over differing opinions.
If Holtmann wasn't from the state of Kentucky he wouldn't even be mentioned. Hiring head coaches because they are locals, former players, or former assistants is for high school and bottom-tier programs.
One of my favorite clips of all time.
Ohio State isn't exactly going shirts and skins in a middle school gym. They have the largest athletic budget in the history of college sports.
The Knicks won the Atlantic Division, had the 3rd highest winning percentage in the East (6th highest in the entire NBA) and the 2 seed in the playoffs in his final year in NY. Far from middle of the pack.
I didn’t say you should be banned. I said you have probably been banned on this site before and that’s why you have a new account. Obviously you’re not half as intelligent as you think you are. Lmao
Wasting your time. The cult of Cal is an incredibly short sighted bunch. To them, Kentucky basketball didn’t exist before Cal and can’t possibly exist after.
Lol, you literally stated posts like mine get people banned, in support of it. If you can't see how that isn't advocating for me being banned you would have to be pretty dim.
That’s not at all what I said, but it’s not surprising that you gotta lie. I said you have probably been banned on here before. I’ll let the mods figure that one out. Regardless, with your reading comprehension, you have no business calling anyone “dim”.Lol, you literally stated posts like mine get people banned, in support of it. If you can't see how that isn't advocating for me being banned you would have to be pretty dim.
Just because I can identify that I am smarter than you doesn’t require me to believe I am that smart. You don't exactly set a high bar, after all.
That is exactly what you said. Whether you intended to or not I can't answer, but it is what it is.
I have -zero- interest in Brey.
Brey wouldn't be a horrible hire, he held a clean program and would maybe help a smooth transition into the new college basketball.
I’ll disregard the insults and name calling, and address the substance. I can only speak for myself....I am well aware of our history, how we are unique even among bluebloods for sustained success across decades and multiple coaches. Three comments:
That’s not nearly as dumb as thinking UK will turn into IU when Cal leaves.And just like IU fans some UK fans will actually think Brad Stevens will come running to Lexington.
In all the times that you’ve tried, have you ever successfully bitten your ear?
Who said we would turn into IU? I think if you try slowing down and comprehending what was written, you will find it's referring to coaching searches. It's not just an IU thing. UCLA has struggled to find a great coach. UNC will struggle to get a great hire when Roy leaves, Duke will struggle for one when K leaves. Same with KU and Self. Anyone paying attention should see it.
I already knew it was LB. His posting style gives it away lol.
