Yes Ellen, but we are talking about it being priority #1 not if this happens then that happens type thing. Shooter was right on.
It most definitely isn’t about getting kids ready for the NBA OVER winning championships.
Got HIS & Ellen's championship and $$$$. He doesn't care about the former anymore.
“Most of the year” is the problem. The last 5 NCAA losses we’ve had, it was because our players couldn’t make shots or Free Throws. Cal scares our scorers to death.
If the pitch was working and it did for the first 6 years that is well and good, when it’s not then something needs to change. Other bluebloods are recruiting and running their programs much better than we are without the appearance of making the nba a high priority. Cal had to agree to let the #1 recruit come here and not play to even get his commitment. That is not doing anyone any good.
And ESPECIALLY since 2012.
Think they are talking SEC Championships too. Which is what you can control with a larger opportunity to win those games and compete against those teams. Contending for Final Fours, National Championships is important, but winning your conference is a realistic goal every year at Kentucky or at least was. Cal's made it seem like that doesn't matter and while I get what he's saying--a deep run in NCAA's can mask that not mattering, I'm one who thinks winning big games and championships doesn't hurt your team at any point. To paraphrase one of Cal's favorite lines....when playing in big games, you don't have to win them all.....but you can't lose them all....and his team was losing every big/tough game down the stretch and acting like it was "needed".
It’s not about winning it every year. That would be insane.
These sock accounts defending Cal are getting really annoying . I can respect guys who just disagree , but the guys with 5 accounts ? chicken $hits
Deadly from as far out as 25 feet. Imagine if #25 had the 3 point line?……add in Macy, Master, and a handful of other SGs for that matter. Whoooheeeey—Cats would have been a bombing machine in the late 70s/early 80s to go with their legendary big men.
The mental gymnastics you all put yourselves through for self-rationlization is something to behold.
When I was in school my parents (metaphorically, my “fans”) set a goal for me to make straight A’s. It was easy until high school and I started taking AP courses.
He sees it fine. He simply couldn't care less what fans think.
Its not about the fans, its about winning games. He hasn't been winning games lately.
I'm still wondering how you breath with your head up Cals *** 24/7. You must enjoy his farts.
Yes and fans are sick of it and he does not care.
How exactly does Cal scare our shooters? Really? You ever watch/listen to the idiot on the sideline? Sit down and shut the hell up sometime!!!It was likely the same priority for all. Every coach wants to win above all else. Even Cal. Coaches by nature are competitive. However, coaches also know there are many other factors than just winning.
Not really. It's about on par with our historical average. But spin away!
Less than 10% of reaching your main objective is good?
But what are you going to change? Are selling to recruits that the NBA isn't important and you aren't worried about their future as a pro?
Are they though? UNC has 1 championship in 2017. KU has none since ours and Duke has 2 but not one since 2015. IU and UCLA have none and have been irrelevant except for UCLA's miracle run last year. So what is so superior about these other bluebloods?
Do you honestly believe Cal agreed to let a player come ride the bench strictly for his commitment? Like, seriously???
Our historical average is not even close to making a F4 3/5 of the time. Hell, technically we haven't even made it 1/5th. That's just a ludicrous expectation.
We have taken players from Duke as well. They were after Montgomery, Hagans, Maxey, Clarke, Boston, Pj Washington, Herro, Vanderbilt.
We had the top class in the country in 2020. And #2 in 2021. Not sure where you get that's bad. Sounds like some agenda pushing.
Our loss against St. Peters was because we couldn't stop them. That was only the second time this season they scored in the 80's. If we get stops, we win. Teams are going to have off shooting nights. That's life. Defense is all effort and never needs to be off like it was.
How exactly does Cal scare our shooters? You think maybe it has anything to do with the single elimination factor and getting tight when the season is on the line?
What's that matter? Played on a NC team.
