I spend over 8,000 a year on UK basketball so don't tell me what I don't know...so what I do know is this....we are Uk....not the nbdl..we are a school built on winners not loosers....I from the beginning love John Calipari but at this point I do not believe his style is what we need..I don't know who to hire but I do know that this is not UK basketball. When you have guys laughing on the bench and laughing to to the locker room after getting your *** kicked is not a good sign....it's a sign of weakness lead by their coach

With the most talent every year, 1 title he sucks

Blowing title opps. That's his history.




The idiots are out in force tonight.

Correction, kodak has been an idiot since he returned from his previous ban.

The bi-polar nature of this board is ridiculous. I had serious doubt about tonight and couldnt even express it without all of the pumping bull**** going on. Where is that 1 seed path? Let's get caneintally in here and figure it out.

It's not an issue of wanting Cal gone, it's noticing that the game has changed, recruiting has changed, and everything else has changed since 2009 EXCEPT JOHN CALIPARI.

He needs to do what all professionals do and adjust to the TIMES. You are not longer the only OAD coach in the game. You arent going to get 4 of the top ten anymore. You can't approach this like you would 2008. And he's just doing the same damn thing.

Players first is fine until the players buy into it. It doesn't take a genius to figure out whats going on. As I said in another post, Cal wants to be the guy who coached a bunch of NBA guys, he doesn't want to be the coach that NBA guys played for. There's a big difference right there. And his selling pitches are killing his ends.

Cal needs to adjust and has needed to for a while. Enough of the fire cal or cal is God crap. Enough with comparing Cal to G or Tubby.

Wanna trade?

Lol, but no thanks. :)

This team certainly has problems right now that make me scratch my head. Something is definitely up. Cal certainly isn't perfect, and this team has definitely digressed. But sadly, this is the norm.................ridiculous posters that crawl out of the woodwork after embarrassing losses.

Actually, after most any loss.

The 2010-2011 team didn't light it up in the regular season and I remember seeing threads similar to this. That team went on to a final 4. The 2013-2014 team finished the season with 11 loses but were runners up for the championship, yet prior to the tournament there were threads similar to this. Point is, take a note from history and shut the hell up until March. I'm in the camp with those who say that Cal isn't the best X's and O's coach, but I also know the mans history. His teams tend to click in March when it matter the most. I doubt anyone is really going to be done with him if this team does what those two aforementioned teams did. Have a little bit of perspective.

A team that starts 5 players of which only 1 is better than an average shooter with absolutely no back to the basket post game is not going to suddenly get it when it matters most. Add to that they can't defend very well and you have what you're seeing. The sad thing is that the team we will have next year (as presently known) will be way more offensively challenged than this one. Maybe they will be able to defend better. The "plan" reached it's zenith with the 38-1 squad. Maybe there'll be another one before Brad graduates but it all depends on the level of OADs available and if Cal will (not can) sign any of the ones that can shoot.

I'm at the point that I think I need to avoid Rafters for a day or two after a loss. I feel dumber just reading this crap.

Ditto. I've just about come to the same conclusion.

What is maddening to me is WHO IN THE WORLD DO THESE PEOPLE WANT?? If they can't be pleased with the last eight years of UK Basketball on the whole, then there really isn't any point wasting time trying to reason with them.

Very short memories indeed.

Somebody on page one said "Brad Stevens," as someone always does. Like it's the simplest fix.

"Just get the guy coaching the Boston Celtics. Duh."

I know who won't be coming - Brad Stevens, 2015 Eastern Conference coach of the year, 2016 NBA COY candidate and building a team in Boston on the back of Isaiah Thomas and company , now currently in second place behind the defending champions Cavs.

We have freshman laden teams every year, I liken them to being an addict, some special teams can cut their bad habits cold turkey and rarely struggle during the regular season. On the other hand a lot of them have to hit rock bottom but in the end figure it out and are great come tourney time. In short let it play out and let the team grow, we have plenty of talent that if we play well come march our seed won't matter

Dude, we're all mad, just forget it. We can't be great every year. No of us have ANY idea if this team's struggles get owned by the players or Cal.

SemperFi, come on, being ex military, you know who gets the blame if you don't perform. Cal gets paid a lot of money to do the job. Quit kicking the players out the door to the NBA before their ready. Cal's ego is much to big. He likes to brag about how many players he has sent to the NBA, how much they make,and how many first rounders he has. That's fine if your winning Championships, but he's NOT. It's great to get all these 5 stars, but you must be able to coach them up.


OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!

This is true Willie - Cal is ultimately responsible, and many of us here are vets, so we get it...

But this post was plain stupid and you liked it...

brianpoe, I don't ever think a post is stupid. Every person who post on here is entitled to his opinion, whether you or I like it, or don't like it. There are over 96 post on this, and I feel that people who want to express their opinion has a right to, whether you and I agree with them or not. You, don't know if I like this post or not, so you don't know what the F---K your talking about. Your just running your mouth, and criticize someone because you don't like the post.

Willie, I try to give you a pass sometimes because you are so damn old.

Fans that want to fire Cal with a top 10 team and the success he has had - winningiest teams last 7 years - with no other option to replace him are dumb.

And when they post that message - it is a dumb post.



And when you say something like this:

"You, don't know if I like this post or not, so you don't know what the F---K your talking about."

Then you make yourself look dumb too...

Do you see your name as the VERY FIRST PERSON to LIKE that post?





Maybe this is why i thought you liked it....

Did you think you were "LIKING" incognito and we ALL couldn't see it?

I get tired of the roster turnover and always being inexperienced but I'll gladly take this burden over the Tubby and Billy G years.

Truth is, Cal has hung four banners here after we went thirteen years with zero being hung.

I agree with this.

Ive kinda wanted to see him move on for a couple years... and not because I am unappreciative or don't think he can win another title. I've just grown tired of the system, of the departures. Winning seems a bit muted because you know the players are gone soon after, and losing hurts twice as much because the investment isn't working.

OAD isn't for me.
