You would think, but his inflated ego may be enough.
I've been here awhile and never known of Ortho to make outlandish posts so if what he says is true then the Moderator who called him a troll should man up and apologize but if it isn't true then Ortho will look foolish and lose any credibility he has.
As for my opinion,which doesn't mean jack ****,Calipari is gone more than likely before seasons end I fully expect him to take a leave and I won't be sure it's at his request either.The heat is absolutely on him and the administration is feeling it as well.To much money involved both ways in that yes,Calipari has a ridiculous buyout but boosters and donors are cutting off the cash flow coming in and wanting the administration to address the dumpster fire that is happening to the program.Change is coming,one way or the other.

And maybe we can get the Perry kid the next year.
Listening to the Sources Say podcast as I'm reading this thread.... they're lamenting the rebuilding process that is going to happen if/when Cal leaves.
Honestly though, if you only looked at scores/NET/etc and had no idea who the team was, you would think this year was that team's rebuilding year lol

Don't give a **** what they think about a rebuild. We haven't won a tournament game since 2019. Take all of these 5 star's and cram em, for all I care.
UKortho? UK orthopedic surgeon? Maybe he talked to someone on the staff. Either way, whatever. I'd give this thread about a 25% chance of being correct.
I'm more interested in hearing how we're either A) also getting rid of Mitch or B) how we're going to prevent Mitch from making the new hire
As for Cal, IDGAF if he's being named the HC of Golden State
You missed my point.
Not saying they have a love for UK. Saying UK is still a BlueBlood. Every UK game is on tv, with many being shown on ESPN or CBS. So to a teenager, it means more being wanted by UK, by UNC by Duke than it does to Texas or UL or Illinois.
Interesting. For someone that just said “oh, cool”, then asked no questions after being told Cal was leaving, you sure have updated your original post with a lot of new info that you didn’t think to get at the split second you were told Cal was leaving and didn’t ask more questions.
See why it’s hard to believe these?
OP is right guys. I talked to my uncle who heard from his barber. The barber has a second cousin whose girlfriend knows a guy who works in a coal mine with a guy whose wife is in a book club with this gal named Bernadette. Bernadette’s dog groomer is well connected in the stamp collecting community. The Vice President of the Louisville metro stamp society has a niece whose massage therapist had a one-night stand with Ellen Calipari’s proctologist. He said it’s a done deal.
Seriously though, if this is legit, thanks for posting OP.

UK isn't saving any recruits not named Reed Sheppard.
I would even venture a guess that if Justin Edwards doesn't follow Coach Cal he'll be playing for Rick Barnes.
Wagner, Bradshaw, and Dillingham would probably follow Cal. Although Dillingham's history might suggest he's a bit of a Wildcard.

He just said he has a feeling. No more or less what anyone would say if they didn't know. He stated it like an opinion. He did not say he was told anything.
This sounds like something John Prine would have written. I chuckled thinking about that.
Cal’s not leaving. He’s a fighter and will try and bring this season to a great finish as he did in 2014.
Has perhaps his best group coming next season. Could really be exciting and good.
After next season I think he will retire from UK. Go out on a good note. UK’s been good to him. He’s brought a NC and done a lot for this state and our facilities.

Who cares about those ESPN duds, the actual college basketball media KNOWS Cal has lost it.
It's already begun. He's being HUMILIATED not only by media, but opposing coaches too.
Heck, I read where the first year coach at Mizzou Called the kid from Lyon Co. before the UK game out there and told him that his team was going to destroy UK, and they DID!!!
ANYONE that knows basketball, sees what Cal has done to our program. All those other HACKS can say whatever they want, NOBODY cares!!!

Cal scheduled his double knee replacement for mid next season! It’s a dead giveaway
Who tf are you?Yeah, sure. I trust you…..
It’s wishful thinking.
I would say though the kyle Tucker stuff today does give some thought of Barney and Eli potentially firing cal. That article reflects poorly on both seemed like a direct provocation.
Heck, I HOPE they put us on blast for running him off.
Hopefully, that will deter any like him from coming to UK.
I couldn't care less what those jerkoffs think about us.
If true, Calipari leaving taking next year's class with him isn't the immediate problem ... it will be Barnhart making the next hire. That can't happen. Apart from that ... let the rebuilding begin and be done with Calipari. The man HAS NEVER left any job he's ever had in good standing ... only in chaos. Good riddance and goodbye.
New job. The setting of the conversation, along with interruptions is why I didn’t ask where. There is a little more to the story- but the ending is the same. It doesn’t give me any pleasure to “know a guy” and keep the name confidential. Hell, I would love to tell everyone exactly what is being done behind the scenes. Just can’t. But the wheels are turning inside UK to prepare for his departure. And for the record, I don’t ever get inside info. This relationship formed recently. Might be all I ever hear again. I think Cal is too far out the door to change his mind.
I had no idea either. Seems he is a mod, and he called me a troll. Didn’t take the time to look at my posts before spouting off.
He's a clown that no one knows on here. No worries bro.
You are now my favorite poster ... but seriously, thanks for posting. We will find out soon enough.
In fairness, don’t you think revealing that, if the information is true, might hint at the identity of the poster and threaten his relationship with the source if there is one?
Don't EVER reveal your source!!!!
We all want to continue to get info!! Well , MOST of us!!!
I have had some inside info over the years provided by some former players, but I NEVER told who they were because I wanted to keep them as a source of good info.
You don't owe ANYONE on this board anything. They can choose to believe it, or not, TOTALLY up to them.
Thanks for the scoop!!
Leaving with Cal sounds kinda dumb considering NBA scouts leveling the kind of criticism against Cal recently. Those kids simply need the national platform ... and someone that WILL coach them. They don't need Calipari ... that's for damn sure.
I have no idea if this poster or his source, if there is one, is telling the truth or not. I have my doubts. But reading between the lines, the story could be plausible. Someone on staff who would remain at the university would be someone who works directly for the athletic department but helps with the team, like an alumni relations or player development position. Perhaps the OP has a personal relationship with that person, and that person, having intimate dealings with the athletic department and Cal, can sense the relationship between the two has broken down, and perhaps has spoken to someone or seen something or observed something in Cal’s behavior to think Cal is talking to Texas (or definitively taking the job). Maybe that person and Cal were talking about the practice facility and Cal made some off the cuff statement about not being here anyway. I have no idea. It’s just the story isn’t completely implausible. It still could be fabricated though, I have no idea.
I don’t know, man. Tucker hasn’t had the non-brownest nose in the past, but he just broke the story that Cal’s having a grad student scouting teams and breaking down tape instead of doing it himself or having his staff do it. If he’s shilling for Cal right now, he’s picked a weird way to go about it.
Possible conversation with someone who is revealing to you information but you don’t want to pry.
UKOrtho: Must be stressful times down there at the basketball facility. What do you think of what’s going on with Cal?
UK SID/ Alum Relations/ Player Development/etc: Between you and me, I don’t think he’s gonna be here next year
UKOrtho: Wow what makes you say that?
UK SID/ Alum Relations/ Player Development/ etc: I don’t want to get into it, just remember I said it
UKOrtho: That is crazy! Do you think we are going to hold on to that recruiting class of ours?
UK SID/ Alum Relations/ Player Development/ etc: we will do our best. It will certainly be all hands on deck.
OK, I'll bite. Heck, I've changed my mind twice this week already based on stories that have broken about behind the scenes stuff going on inside the program.
So @UKortho how nasty do you or your source think this parting of ways is likely to be? It certainly can only go one of two possible ways.
I'm gonna guess your source is possibly UK's new strength coach. It's hard to believe it's a player because kids can't keep anything to themselves. LOL!
It certainly would explain the total disinterest the coaching staff is showing on the bench during games.
@ralphdaltonfan you got anything?
One or both of them are still here. Is it any coincidence they disappear and two Cal supporters reappear in Wildcatfaninohio and bkingUK?
