Post count argument really? You do realize you had a low post count at one point right? Just because some of us don't live on a message board while living in our parents basement doesn't mean we don't post substance. Have fun at 3rd grade little buddy.

That OP is actually so awful I think I'm going to block everyone who liked it.
Thanks Gonzo. Coming from one of the worst posters on this site over the years I will take it. I thought this was a message board where people posted topics for discussion. I'm terribly sorry if I hurt your little snowflake feelings...
If your judgment of posters is as good as your judgment of coaches, maybe I'll make the Hall of Fame too.
This thread is a perfect example of post loss poster...phishing for attention. I'm guilty I responded, for those of us that are active, we should quit responding and ignore
Total bull crap. Zone lovers have been responsible for some of the stupidest post I've ever seen on here. To claim zone cost us at least 2 titles is over the top and nothing more than a poorly educated guess. I have no respect for the opinion of anyone who will not acknowledge Cal is currently a great coach and has been for a long time.
Those same ridiculous criticisms were used against Adolph Rupp as well.
You have totally train wrecked in this thread.
Zones are so easy to bust in today’s game. The only time they’re really ever used is by mid majors trying to beat far superior teams and the hope is they have an off night from outside. Look at Syracuse, boheim has had some really good teams that couldn’t win when it mattered due to that zone. Also zone prepares you for absolutely nothing at the next level. Syracuse has had several lottery picks and big time players become immediate bust in the pros due to their inability to simply guard someone. Johnny Flynn, fab melo, Warrick, Wesley Johnson and several more. Zones never been apart of cal and never will and it never should be. We’ve been in the top 10 in total defense probably every year but 1 or 2 since he’s been here.
anyone that calls someone a "snowflake", should lose any and all credibility
Yeah I guess you missed the part of duke having the top 3 rated players from the class. Maybe that's why they won. Go on somewhere loser. Quality post from you.
and resorting to name calling in the last few responses also follows the same path as 2 posts above
I meant him... you got your post in, a click before me
You think not zoning Wisconsin cost us the title in 2015? Outside of kaminsky the greatest strength was outside shooting. The 2015 team was probably the greatest defensive team in college b-ball history. Anyone who has played competitive basketball hates playing zone, trust me. Zone makes you lazy, you miss block outs, you give up 2nd Chance points. Why do you think melo went to Syracuse?
There are over 300 division one coaches in America. To say Cal is “bottom quarter” in game strategy is straight up asinine.

I think missing Poythress guarding Decker hurt us the most.
Definitely agree with that. These zone lovers seem to forget that also the 2014 team was without our best all around defender from the sweet 16 to the championship. WCS plays UConn doesn’t stand a chance. He could of guarded boatright and Napier handily. They kept screening with dakaris man and even with a hard hedge they were able to be him and the help.
This is spot on. His teams get so much better defensively, and that ain't because their AAU skills are kicking in. I do not like the half court offense at times. I don't have a problem with his use of TO's, sometimes it works sometimes it don't. It would be the same if he took timeouts. Good post!
thanks man. Your opinion of me and my credibility really makes me lose sleep at night. I appreciate you voicing your opinion of my posts as if anyone really cares what you think. They make a mute button if you don't like me or my posts as well. It's pretty simple, you can probably even get help to learn how to do it. :sunglasses: Have a great day little buddy!
Speaking of being easily offended and going overboard

So we never get to the point against the Cardinals to need to press !
verses Mercer and Lehigh in a tourney that countd
I just crapped and Cal 4 three posted immediately after that..,,.,,coincident?
Not sure which team you've been watching. This year they run multiple sets on every trip that isn't a fast break opportunity. They're in the 200s in terms of pace and possessions per game.
Also this isn't directed at you but more towards @Cal-4-Three. I'm not sure what this entire thread is about. One of Cal's greatest attributes is his flexibility and ability to adjust to his team and play to their strengths.
Not only does it happen during the season but in most cases he starts over from nothing on a yearly basis and implements a new system. No two of his UK teams have ever played exactly the same.
You're being ignorant...SC ended up in the Final 4 that year so Duke lost to a Final 4 team.
Cal lost to freakin KSU in the Sweet 16 last year and IU a few years before that in the 2nd round.
I'm not being ignorant. Quit trolling the Ky forum and go crawl back up the Rat butt.
Losing to KSU and IU is a big difference than losing to freaking Lehigh. The point is K isn't perfect...BTW I posted a link from a pro Duke site that was talking about his worst losses to prove my point to some of the clueless around here.

What I realize is you have "lived on this board" through the duration of this idiotic thread. Bait much? Parents basement? Don't pat yourself on the back with that one. Do us a favor and keep that post count low. Maybe a repeat of 200 some odd posts in the next 8 years...little toddler!
Coming from a tennessee fan I'll just ignore that. If you don't like what I post just ignore it. Little kid.
