Tubby won the title. That is a point of fact. Everything else is just opinion.
All the years that he had his own players answer that question definitively.
Tubby is responsible for the 98 title just as much as Pitino is. Considering Tubby has never even come close, I think its safe to say if not for Pitino, Tubby never wins one.
Cal has done more than Hall and the same as Pitino, yet they have banners.
Would Cal have a title if BCG hadn't recruited Darius Miller? Miller was absolutely critical to that title team that most likely doesn't win it all without him.
My comments weren't about Calipari.
LOL...bogans ankle..
It’s a lot tougher call on guys who were only around for a short time and/or didn’t graduate from the school. I hear what you’re saying but I think you’re comparing apples to oranges.
What a ridiculous post. You think any other school would refuse to acknowledge a national championship winning coach? It’s laughable that he’s not up there yet.
What other "wrongs to right" has prevented from being worthy enough to get a banner?
Hahahaha yeah we won the title cause of Darius Miller. Not Anthony freaking Davis or MKG, or Jones or Lamb or Teague who were all recruited by Cal. But Darius freaking Miller, the 6th man, was the reason we won? Hot damn.
The 98 team wasn't a historically talented team .
Just list the rosters of the two teams prior to Tubby and you will answer your own question.
You have a selective memory. Of course AD, and MKG were huge that year. That's not even up for debate. But to simply write off Darius as just a "6th man" on that team shows your lack of knowledge, memory or age at that time. There were multiple games that season when those freshmen looked lost and Miller stepped up big time to hit big shots or free throws at just the right time. He was a calming effect on that team many times and there is a reason he has had a spot on an NBA roster for most of the last 9 years. He was integral to that team's title run.
Would pigs fly if they had wings? We will never know.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I find the opinion to run Cal out of town absurd at best
Wait! A team that won an NCAA title was talented! I kid, I kid
So that cancels everything else he has done?
Ah the mythical lore of the Bogan's ankle injury rears it's head again.
Sorry to disappoint you but when SCUMtino
Youre telling me that if Pitino and Tubby had the same exact team you really believe Tubby's team would win?
I see your point. Wining at Kentucky is so easy that a coach could just sleep on the bench and the team will still end the season with a great record. The 20-21 season is proof of that.
Tubby could coach! I remember a turning point in one season, the second half against Vandy, the defense was a thing of beauty. He put a few guys in the league on D alone nearly, Tubby's problem was never Coaching, it was two fold, he refused to recruit AAU stars, he thought the next tier could win him enough. Second, he was loyal to his assistants, he needed to pull a Cal and over haul his assistants, but he wouldn't do that. That led to his downfall. If he had a recruiter, hell he may still be here
How many loaded teams has Cal had to work with? Based on the results, obviously it takes more than just loaded teams to win championships. How many loaded Duke teams went without championships? If you don't like Tubby just say so, but you don't have to make up crap. I see the three coaches like this:
