Fans are allowed to be critical of a 9-16 season. Period. This wasn’t years ago, it was last season. Imo this year and next will determine if he’s righted the ship or not.
Of course they can be critical. But, like I said, some are using it like some sort of weapon. But you and I will never agree on much if you are acting like the chaos last year had nothing to do with our odd season. See ya.
I think that it did, but a ton of it was self inflicted which was my point. Again, other teams found a way to tune it out/deal with it and still be successful. Why didn’t we?
I wouldn’t say we were the only ones affected either. UnC and Duke were also effected. Heck even KU had a meh year. I mean when is the last time Uk, Duke, and UNC we’re not in the Top 25. It was nearly 50 years ago.
So, sure. We got the worst of it. But let’s not act like we were the only team that suffered because of it.
I would say youth and inexperience. Duke and UNC and other blue bloods with new players were awful last year, which had as much to do with reduced practice time as much as anything. Experienced teams like Gonzaga and Baylor played well. Last year was bad - so Cal fired the entire coaching staff. Soooo I guess he agreed as well lol
Was nothing in my post(s) that suggested we were the only team. But plenty of teams rose above the challenges to have great seasons. Gonzaga and Baylor for example. I’d make an argument for how those schools handled things differently than our staff did, but this may get moved to the political thread so I’ll refrain myself. Regardless, none of the off court stuff was a legit excuse for 9-16.
You don't want discussion...you want everyone to see things the way you do.
DA makes a simple comment and your first reaction is to slam him....pretty clear where you stand.....Cal first
We all know he’s just mad he’s not on the staff but you seem to gloss over that part.
We all know you are Cal first.....UK is second with you.....as far DA on the staff ....you're just assuming cause it fits your narrative....and yes I know about his tweet....I also know it came during worst season in a 100 years.
Can't understand folks putting a coach above the program
So who thinks the dribble handoff is effective offense?
Yeah that social unrest played a HUUUUUUUUGE role in our masterpiece last year .. God you are stupid . Just what rehashed beat down fool are you ? Anyone figured it out yet ? Has to be someone that got so exposed they ran off to a new username .
I won't stoop to your level, but in a year with no fans in the stands where neither Duke nor UK make the tournament, yeah, it played a role.
Sorry you are such an angry person. Wow. On a Sunday, no less. IGNORED.
Really nice to have the 75th iteration of Baller Cal here.
LOL !!!! Dan IS a Colt fan. He's ready to tear the place apart after getting CRUSHED by J-ville and my boy Josh Allen. Too freaking funny. I nailed it.

I myself have been considering letting the NFL be relevant in my life again.. could wait to who the Bengals pick as coach but that doesnt change the douche bag ownership . So I'm leaning Colts . Always thought Luck would be a star . Close by . kinda . But is their owner a big time Lib ? Ties to the Clintons or big Obama guy ? Would be a deal breaker for me , signed right wing nut .

Thats kinda scary .. data mining my post to find a NFL thread from 3 years ago ? wow . FWIW my flirting with the NFL must have been very short lived .. I couldn't name a single Indy colt player , not have I watched a NFL game in 3 years .
It’s funny this guy posts here like he’s doing the Lord’s work, he’s been banned 50 times. Time for some self awareness for Cardsstink.
This recent one didn’t come during that season. Sounds much like he is just jaded to me. Turning this into Cal vs UK is such a strange way to look at things. I will always support what is best for UK. Once again if you go back to my comments after the ND game you will see that I had big questions to whether this team could find its way. But I think they can.
yeah that unnamed coach has one of the best teams technically in college ball rn. The highest scoring offense in the Sec and a top defense in the country as well. Lost to LSU but if wheeler and tyty healthy we win that game.
Plus, 96 might have easily been one of the best to do it ever.

That F4 game was never in question in the second half. The regular season game wasn’t a stomp either. It was tied at halftime. Continue with your narrative, though.
Yeah , dude is just a weirdo .. Stated me being " mad" ( which I'm not ) was terrible because " its on a sunday " LOL .
Did someone just mention “social unrest”? 
Yes a huge douche bagDid someone just mention “social unrest”?

I get it man. I understand what you are saying. I'm giving DA the benefit of the doubt. Besides, he's definitely allowed to have an opinion.
I'm not going to disparage him even if he did tweet that toward Cal.
I'm not mad at that because I don't think he is bragging just saying how much better we could be if we pressed and blew teams out it's sad Cal would never use all the depth and blow teams out because Pitino pressed !
He didn't point anyone out and if you watch any team other than UK a lot of teams run dribble hand off/weave style offenses these days. While it may have been a shot at Cal it would also apply to a lot of coaches in todays style of basketball. Sounds like a bunch of you are assuming and we all know what happens when you do that.
This this and this. The adjustments pitino makes on the floor, and Tubby for that matter, are a notch above Cals in game adaptations. Cal has the other 2 beat in other areas but floor coaching is not it.
Yep. After that PG change, that team absolutely took off. No question the best team won it all in 1996. Totally agree on the rest of your post as well.
I didn’t take what he said as a shot and thought it was more about basketball in general but even if it was so what? DA who won a freaking NC here has the right to be critical of Cal without people throwing a temper tantrum. It’s not that deep.
Our fans are apparently the only ones who can criticize our players, coaches, etc.
I do not understand why people keep asking this question. The answer is simple...talent disparity. If you think Cal is anywhere in Pitino's league in Xs and Os then you need a new hobby.
Total nonsense. The same people that say Calipari suks constantly say Pitino can take nothing and turn it into something. Funny to watch the Pitino nut huggers try to spin Cal being his landlord. Hilarious.
Its also a lame excuse to say "we only lost because they had better players!" I'm sure that's what the other teams said when Pitinio had McCarty, Delk, Masburn, etc.... were you making excuse for those coaches? Hell no.
smh

Has nothing to do with Pitino being a better X and O coach. Cal won’t even run a damn OOB play, won’t use timeouts, won’t zone, etc. Why he doesn’t do these things is unclear. Still true, though.
You just made my point. If Cal sucks, then so does Pitino because both win big when they have the greater talent. People here shamelessly want it both ways. I’ll just laugh at the hypocrisy.
