Cal has officially passed Pitino.........

Agree you start with pitinos 3rd year in which Cal still wins. But why is anyone acting as if Woods, Pelphrey, Feldhause, and Farmer sucked? They were the bombinos because they could shoot.

The most important point is being missed here.

Yes, both Pitino and Calapari have achieved legendary status in UK basketball history and should be held in the highest esteem with regards to what they have done for the program.

However, regardless of the mess each of these coaches inherited, UK basketball will always be held to a higher standard and, no matter how many coaches it might take, we will always prevail. Do any of you doubt this? The institution that is UK basketball will do whatever it takes to prevail.

I love what Pitino did for our program and what Calipari is doing now but we seem to get lost in the story lines put forth by the media driven world we live in. At UK it's not about the coach as much as it is about the program. This is what separates us from the UNC's and Duke's of the world.

Now that the UL troll's and posers have thoroughly been dominated and owned in this thread, can we please rid the board

of this scum, mods? I mean, look at the one who can't spell in this thread. He should've been banned after his first post, but

he's still posting, and butchering the English language.

I'm not a UL fan but I like Pitino.. He does it with less talent at Lville then the other coaches named. If he woulda stayed at UK y'all would consider him a god. By the way I liked his choice in 92! Lol. But seriously I think he's a great coach and if u read the book the last great game he turned your program around from so much crap you were blessed and should be thankful he came there!

Billy G was as good as any coach ever but made the fatal mistake of pissin off Harry Potter and others like him in a drunken binge. He didn't think their need potions or magic since he was at UK but the bottom line is magic wins over talent every time!!!!

Don't agree at all, yes Rick had the probation problems but we had still been getting top recruits before that. When Cal came we were the joke of the recruiting world. Tubby's last year we had very few players in the top 50 had UK on their list, it was said by ESPN. We were almost irrelevant after Billy G.
