Is it anti-Cal to wish he wouldn't push every single guy out the door so that we could build the depth it will take to win titles? Just wondering about the rules of what we're allowed to think here. TIA!

No. I agree with you and I love Cal!

If you can't see that he needs to start trying to keep some of his freshmen for more than one year then you better get used to these losses in the tournament.

I like Cal. I hate OAD's. We'll always be really good but OAD laden teams HAVE to have an unbelievably great player like AD. They don't come along often which is why I think we'll be a top 10 team every year with a lot of Sweet 16 and Elite 8 teams but no more NC's in the Cal era.

I just want to win, period. Correct me if I am wrong, which I know you will, the final four teams are not one and dones are they?

It has nothing to do with his ability or achievements--- cal has been great.
But if I am honest- I don't like the OAD system. I don't like the annual purge. I like following players for a few years.
I know that is the state of the game, but cats obviously very invested in it.
It's not my cup of tea.
Hope that doesn't offend.

He doesn't though. You are making **** up.

Now there have been guys that have ignored Cal's advice and left like Teague, Lamb, Liggins, Orton, Goodwin, etc.

Every coach, including Cal, could make some adjustments. I wouldn't cry if we had a few more experienced players.

Look at the end of your post though. There are hundreds of other teams keeping players longer, just like you wish. Why isn't one of them dominating - or even keeping up with Cal's flawed system?

I think Cal is human and not a perfect coach. He's grown and learned. I thought he out-coached Alford big time.

I didn't think he got out-coached today.

When we won it in 2012, we had the trees. We had Davis and Jones. We had MKG and Miller. Teague was a decent sized pg.

When we went on the run with Randle and company, we did a great job of rebounding during the run

I think rebounding is often the most important aspect of the game, and UNC dominated it in a game that was decided by 2 points. If we get 3-4 more rebounds, it's a completely different conversation. And you simply can't make guys go up higher than the UNC guys. This year, they had the trees.

He can't press them hard. He has to clear them out for the next class who are going to be his starters and get most of the PT

Again, name ONE player Cal has pushed out not named Cousins or MKG... just one?

Name the TOP 25 kids you want him to turn down for the Top 125 kids to build "depth".
If you are so pissed over EE's and FF's you will really love having less talent for a few years...

Brian man I appreciate it. But you're just asking a bunch sissies and trolls to explain themselves. They're happy with what happened today.

I appreciate your fire and passion dude

They cannot answer those questions.

Every year, same stuff but no one can answer those questions.

Just like the very few, not saying anyone here, that want to replace Cal...with who?


If it isnt true or no reasonable solution exists then it is kind of silly to pound that drum.




I am totally fine with critiquing Cal's decisions and in game coaching, Lord knows I do that myself.

I get your point. In fact, I usually say that in most of my posts. It's a fine line.

I just think he needs to change up his recruiting.. Instead of all 5*s,, try to convince some to come and stay 2,, 3,, 4 years at least.. 4*s and 3*s mixed in..

I know it is awful to go to the Elite 8 6 out of 8 years. You know we had 3 stars sit out the first half right? I am sorry he cares about the kids he coaches

It's so silly you are right. That's half our fan base though. Basketball IQ is not their specialty. Just bc they root for the best tradition ever doesn't mean they know squat about the game. It's sad
