That’s exactly why Tubby should have never been hired in the first place.
WHEN the new coach is hired....
- Thread starter Dr. H Lecter
- Start date
Opportunity knocks. I’m certain there are a number of coaches who want this job and can handle it.
The key to next year is who returns. I’ve stated in numerous threads that I believe Reed returns.
If a legacy recruit who has always dreamed of playing at UK leaves after one year then imo the program is done.
He returns along with Theiro and that’s a good start. The new coach can decide who else he wants back if he can convince them.
The best thing going forward is kids won’t come to UK for a quick path to the NBA. There are plenty of good to great college players who would have fit well at UK but we’re never even considered by Cal.
So looking forward to that.

I will give the next coach a complete free pass in year 1. Expect to see marked improvement in year 2. Expect to be nationally competitive by year 3.
I think people are so pissed right now they could care less about next year
It does not matter at all.
Doesn’t matter to me. Well past time to rip off the bandaid.
Golden isn’t bad. He’s basically a younger Pearl that came from his tree. Just really untested.
We expect our teams to beat the teams we're supposed to beat, be competitive in equal marquee matchups (champions classic) and rarely find ourselves as underdogs. Upsets happen but they should be a rarity, not an every Tuesday night kind of thing. Most importantly, our next head coach needs to prioritize winning. At the end of the day that's how he's measured for success. If he does that he'll have the support of most.
Pitino came in during probation. A new guy would be replacing a team that was in the top 10 this season. 10,000% different scenarios. Talk about idiotic fans…
Need a good mix of both until we have our own pipeline and system established. Then, use the portal to fill gaps. But for a year or two, the portal will obviously be huge.
I'm completely on board with that. It has to be "if you're good enough to learn our system and make the most of your time on the court ON BOTH ENDS OF THE COURT, then you'll get playing time. Regardless of ranking. Earn your ranking.
No. Pitinio was left with MUCH more than any new coach will be now. 4 of their names hang in the rafters you clown.
THAT is the revolving door problem Cal created.
That is a perfect sentiment to his career. It’s been 12 years since our last championship. Needless to say we’ve had several top-5 recruiting classes since and had both success and utter failure. Recruiting is necessary but not the ONLY thing that needs to be worried about.
