Could Lakers have interest in Cal?

Who would you want? I was trying to lure you in, you would have said a 28 yo high school coach. That describes Adolph Rupp

Musselman is who I have said for a while now, I like him. Can recruit has good energy and has a good style

If we were replacing Cal today, I think that's the only name I'm happy with. That we could realistically get No Oats, Pearl, Pitino, just no

ROTFLMAO.......... the word was Lakers wanting to dish out big money to get a big time college coach and the arrogance and ignorance of some UK media and fans think its gotta be cal. Lakers dont want Cal.... Its got to be Few or Wright or maybe Drew that have teams play the way the NBA likes now. I think people really dont understand around here just how far Cal has fallen in the eyes of the basketball world the last 5 years. Even when going on the elite 8 run with Herro and them the NBA thought he screwed that team over with horrible offense and the team should have scored a lot more and more easily with just normal coaching.

But f*** do I wish it was about Cal and he freaking left. Im sick of him.

Yea I was joking about pitino, but musselman is the guy for me, and Scott drew he probably isn’t leaving Baylor but Kentucky has the money to get him if he said yes I would take him to

Here is the problem with all of you. Who are you gonna hire better than Cal? Muss? He wont come. You are dead in the water. Goodnight.

I have zero bias toward a coaches pedigree.

I wouldn't care if its Dean's Smith son if the guy was qualified to be coach here.

The idea of Stackhouse is intriguing but only because I would hope he could recruit these kids based on his connections and history. I don't think for a second he'd show allegiance to Carolina over his responsibilities to UK. Now he might leave UK if he is successful and the Carolina position opens up, but that is a risk I'd be willing to take.

That said, Vanderbilt is a tough place to recruit and ultimately coach, but Stackhouse hasn't really proven much there as coach other than he is the best dressed in the league.

At the moment there is no coach out there that excites me as a replacement but if UK can get out from under that stupid contract with Cal, I'd happily take a gatekeeper until the right choice comes along

I'm just over a coach who readily admits that losing doesn't bother him and his priorities aren't aligned with the goals of the program. I don't want a coach where the AD has to show up after a loss and tell the fans what it important to the program because he (the coach) doesn't even talk about it anymore.

I do think that moment told Cal the gig was up here and he either had to prove he had it in him to win a championship or hit the bricks.

All that said, I thought Coaches went to head coaching gigs in the NBA when they were trending upward, not when they were tanking a program. Makes zero sense to me why the Lakers want Cal unless they believe they can trade for an all UK team of guys he coached. Maybe they think more than one of Towns, Booker, Shai, Bam, Maxey, Herro and Randle would wear the gold in the next few years with Cal as coach.
