Has Golden always been a D?

Think we call it class. Golden has none.
Cal was vilified as low character before he arrived on campus. Funny how that didn’t bother us 2010-2019.

I think several things occur: being the UK coach smooths out some of the rough edges, at least in public presentation; and you overlook the flaws when he’s your guy and winning.

I would be thrilled with Golden as our coach next season if there were any indications that he regretted or learned from his mistakes. That’s all it would take. But none of us are able to assess that from our couches.

I’ve never seen a coach take so many shots at an opposing program. This goes back to mid season.

-mentions we have a 20 million dollar roster with a chuckle, as a dig.

-openly claps in Popes face when Oweh got a technical.

-awkwardly brings up how UK has never led in a game this year.

We’ve seen a lot of ******* coaches but i honestly can’t think of a coach worse than Golden.

We hated Bruce Pearl, but he was so complimentary. Roy Williams, Coach K, Billy D…all had class after a win. This dudes a douche.
Wish he was our coach.

He's definitely a bit of a dick, but he's mostly just extremely petty. If you cross him you will be a target. Since UK took Aberdeen from us he's had it out for ya'll for sure. He was the same way with Bama with the Bediako thing. He's petty as Fck!

if golden can win the league next year once haugh and condon are finally gone I’ll give him credit. Chinyelu is the only returning big coming off this run.

He should call Walter Clayton every night and thank him, they should’ve been bounced in the sweet sixteen last year and I can’t believe Houston choked.

Kinda unreal that Florida team last year had Clayitn, Martin, Richard,Hahn and condon.

luckily Lee and fland won’t be able to carry them like the guards last year.

Is it actually an ad hominem attack if said hominem stalks young women and sends unsolicited pictures of his junk to them while in ghost mode on social media?

If we beat them a million times in a row I promise you friend I’d still think he’s a piece of s hit. My moral compass isn’t tied to winning basketball games.

Mine can be, not always. How many wins? Titles? It’s tied to it probably.

So he’s bent about Aberdeen? I guess that makes a little bit of sense. Wouldn’t that be more on DA? Petty indeed.

On Calipari - one of the most morally bankrupt people that’s ever coached here, he’s just really good at knowing how to conceal. You can do anything up to and maybe including murder and he’ll play you. People just really don’t know ins and outs of Calipari. He really knows how to cover.

Harbortown is a real and lots of people where I’m originally from laugh hysterically at the calipari good man routine. Guy also set up a yearly
Charity and foot watching event to have a means to keep your attention elsewhere.

Allegedly, dang you one of those that believes every allegation.

Speaking of, im still waiting to hear details on whatever those allegations were. If he beat a title 9 investigation in that metoo era its hard for me to believe there was anything to it. No amount of winning saved people back then but he wasn't even winning big.

That said, i sure wish there was something to it. Seems that's the only way we're going to shut him up, because we sure couldn't beat them.

He is trying to be like Spurrier, I think. Or maybe he is secretly a UK fan and hates the job Pope is doing. I will say...I don't care if our coach is a tool like Golden. If he wins, I'll take that over a nice guy coach that just has excuses lined up after losing 10+ times.

Some points:

Plenty of shots have been taken at him based on the allegations that were proved meritless with zero actual evidence of.

He’a been a little chippier this year since he has more pull now.

Aberdeen was supposed to be his starting 2 guard, and UK overpaying for him left a bad taste in his mouth.

UK fans on social media are embarrassing themselves.

They are looking to retain the front court minus Haugh (NBA). Both Condon and Chinyelu would make more in NIL than potential second round picks. Handlogten is most likely going to receive an extra year for last years injury.

Boogie might be asked to take a pay cut since he’s underperformed as a whole, but we’ll see what happens there. He was our best option after Aberdeen left.

He’s a Bruce pearly understudy who would probably like to be coaching at a school with 5 million supporters of its basketball program

Their fans are just as bad as he is. Massive front runners. They were nowhere to be found until this year. And now they’re everywhere.

Between that and Golden turning out to be one of the biggest twerps in the sport if it’s them and Arkansas in the final i’m actually pulling for the razorbacks now.
Same in football. Before 1991, you couldn't find a UF fan due to FSUs dominance.

Greenburg just took a shot at him. Golden did his pre-game interview and Seth said "He looked humble to me." Reece just went "hmm".

Whatever he is, he might have just convinced me to pull for Duke if they meet for the title. Scheyer at least shows class. Golden acts like a punk, right down to that week old beard stubble. Most men look that way after a day with no razor, for him and other boys, it takes a week.

As it relates to Aberdeen and how Golden feels about losing him to Ky. Anyone think we might feel the same way if Oweh transferred to Florida because they paid him 1 million more ?
