Why so many naysayers, without Coach Cal where do you think the all time win list would rank, final fours? overall he’s done a great job!

Great job is an understatement. Again, those whining and complaining have maturity issues. Acting like two year olds who lost their toy. Just silly....Calipari is the best option hands down. He stacks up well against his peers over the past 10 seasons.
I really think our loses at the end of the year would be much easier to handle if fans knew that the roster would not turn over every year. Plus players leaving that have no reason to be going. It's the 2nd pro contract that matters not the 1st. With that said I will cheer for uk no matter what.
and to me the freshmen on this year's team, not one of them is ready to go pro. The 1st year of the one and one with Calipari where I feel there is not one freshman who will make an impact on an NBA roster next season.
PJ for sure but he's a Sophomore.
Coach Cal is perfect for the job but because of what he's paid and the hype machine he has created he deserves criticism when the team fails. He doesn't deserve to be fired or even on the hot seat but no one is above being questioned/criticized especially when he has every resource a coach could want. He is the one who brought up catching UCLA, Kentucky eating first when it comes to recruiting and calling draft night the biggest night in the programs history. Those are his comments so when you have multiple years of falling short you get criticized. He's a great coach but he's not infallible.
My issue is he could do better by learning from past mistakes. Emphasize free throw shooting, three point shooting, and playing the best player in crucial games. I felt IQ could have made a difference yesterday since Hagans was making mistakes. I think he does a good job, but we all need to make adjustments from time to time.
Cal has done a wonderful job and if you think otherwise I'd question your sanity. With that being said the constant turnover every season does make each lose a little harder. Every off season we have to go through learning new players. Every season it's a learning curve for freshman.
He doesn't deserve some crap that has been spewed on this board the last couple of days. Criticism and change is ok. Some of the hatred is immature, uneducated, self entitled fans
I imagine Cal hates year after year teaching the system to freshman and there is nothing he can do to stop the turnover at the moment. But while he is coach at UK I want him to recruit the very best talent available and if they want to leave after a year so be it.
