Brad Calipari promoted to Assistant Coach
- Thread starter BBN9
- Start date
He started bringing it down when he stopped coaching to win basketball games and started coaching for his brand. Didn’t destroy it but that started the decline.
Which Call assistant as a head coach has recruited well and won at a high level or any level?
Not a great track record.
How is Steve Pearl doing?
Rick Pitino Jr is better than above but still not very good success.
Brad may become an outlier but its just an opinion without facts.
Vegas odds would have Pope crushing Brad.

I don’t understand how you guys can’t see Calipari could not recruit the elite guys here anymore. He got second tier 5 stars. Mitch was an anchor around his neck with not wanting to go all in on NIL. Yes, he was getting top 3 classes here but you gotta get the top, top guys to do it with all freshman. We were not getting any elite players his last 5 years here.
He’s getting top players again because the AD and administration are supporting him. Mitch and Cal would not even speak it was said when he left. Our AD was a Huge problem for all our coaches.
That is the same poster as a couple of other sigs in this thread. He is just pushing buttons. There are about 3 here that were just activated today with only a few post with their name that is the same poster.
He claims he's not looking for attention but it's so obvious.
Imagine a guy who spends so much time constantly adding profiles because he has nothing else to do in his life. He relishes the attention much like a high school girl.
How sad, little man.

What a stupid statement. What has Brad Calipari ever done in his life? Pope would wipe his *** with Brad recruiting.
It's the same troll that makes fun of Kentucky's governor and injects red bulls at bedtime.^Joined 54 minutes ago....
Did you not watch our games for his last 6 years? We became a laughing stock as each year passed. Couldnt win the sec or the sec tournament and check out our record in the ncaa. Let Reed and Rob play off the bench in his last year here. That says enough. But there is plenty more.
Good to see Calipari is serious about addressing the weaknesses that have held him back since Robic left his chair.
He has no juice, he is a poser and id guarantee recruits laugh at him when he tries to act like them.
Thats the one smart thing Mitch did in his tenure then.
This is absolute truth. Source is one of Cal’s closest buddies from Lex who I happen to know. Cal couldn’t believe he couldn’t do whatever he wished. The hostage video with Mitch showed how little they could work together from that point on. Cal couldn’t believe he even had to do that sit down. That was Mitch wanting that bc of unrest in the base.
Having to do that…it humiliated Cal
Get ready fig puckers, Cal is going to pull a Bruce Pearl on you. haha
It would be awesome if Brad was elevated to head coach at Arkansas.
If you are a UK FAN or a fan of any team but the Piggies!

That dude was the last remaining Cal nut hugger. He’s had an axe to grind with Pope since day 1. He’s got to be a member of the family or knows them personally.
Probably Brad himself. That entire family is mentally broken.^Joined 54 minutes ago....
Could Brad do worse than John ? Was is the expected winning percentage when you have the 5 best players on the floor every game ? Returns on Pope unacceptable, losing to Wisconsin with maybe the best college team ever unacceptable
Arkansas fans are going to be pissed when Cal Bruce Pearl/Tony Bennett’s them so they’re forced to give Brad a shot.
Do you think Brad earned his spot as a player, kind of the same thing as a coach. It's all about the chance, and he has gotten that, whether it was earned or given.
Does he still have the cornrows? I'm not sure who I dislike more. Him or Saul Smith.
His decline was tough to take, especially after the first eight years or so. He was so good in the beginning and just got so cantankerous at the end. Problem is, we're still stuck in the same spot. No real improvement yet. Hopefully that changes.
Cal could absolutely recruit but he could not outcoach me. He was literally one of the worst X's and O's coaches EVER. It's like saying you have the most beautiful girl in the world, but she is dumb as dirt. It's not a great blend. Next.
He should have been humiliated with the performance of the Reed team and the first round losses because he refused to change.
Could Brad rise up to be the next Richard Ptino? Maybe they could have a rivalry like Cal and Rick did.
Who cares?!
Why is it that folks get so upset when someone gets a job working that they have a connection too?
It is how a lot of people get jobs.
Law firms, banks, car dealers, construction/trades, insurance, banking…all industries that are very familial and you get in because you know someone or are related to someone. You grew up around it because your Pa did it.
