Calipari ignoring Barnhart and forcing Barnhart to get Cal his own AD remains an all-time boss move, imo.

Would love to know exactly what Barnhart was or was not doing that prompted this from Cal.
From what I heard, it wasn’t one specific thing. Just 2 diff people and Cal wanted one of his own guys to be there that allowed him more control.
Amazing to me that a guy with no oversight or control of a program can still hand out Lifetime Contracts.
A friend’s kid’s high school in Tennessee got eliminated from the state high school basketball tournament for a Phoenix Suns-esque move. Go to 1:23:01 on the video.
Up 12 with a few minutes left in a Regional semifinal, a couple players got into a minor fight. One kid was pushed to the ground pretty hard during a loose ball. Then some pushing and shoving by a couple guys on the floor.
Both benches clear - but none of the players really get involved. They just casually walk towards the fight and turnaround. Refs T up all but 3 players total by both teams, ends the game, and say both teams are out of the state tournament. Furthermore, they ban all but 3 of the players for the first two games for next year. Lol… and we think SEC refs are bad.

Pure speculation...never seemed like Mitch wanted to hire Cal to me but that powers that be within the basketball program (Pratt, etc.) were basically like "you hired Billy Gillespie, take a seat and let us go get the guy we wanted all along". Cal knew it and probably still holds a grudge because that's who he is.
I don’t think this is true. I believe Mitch knew he had to get it right after Billy G fiasco so he was all in on Cal. They vetted him and nothing came up so he hired up. If Mitch didn’t want him (which would have been stupid), I don’t think Dr Todd would have forced him to.
Edit: to my knowledge there wasn’t anyone else even considered for the job. May be wrong on this but I don’t recall another name leaking out.

That introductory press conference for Cal was cringey though when Mitch was speaking and it was basically an apology for hiring Cal. I don't think Cal ever got over that and I can't say I blame him. In Barnhart's defense, he does seem to be 100% Team Cal now.
Also maybe Cal just isn’t much of a milk drinker and thinks anyone who buttons the top button of a polo shirt is a ridiculous looking goober.
In 07, yes. In 09, didn’t Donovan make it known he was out from the beginning?
I always thought the awkwardness of that presser had something to do with Mitch knowing something was coming down the pike with Memphis and the NCAA.
He’s liable to go Michael, take your pick. Jackson, Tyson or Jordan during a Game 6.
Sh**’s crazy.
-annnnd...I'd still vote for him again.
People are soft now. Ye just made a diss track killing Pete Davidson. Back in the 90’s they actually killed each other.
Yea that was awesome, Booker.
Cal is 50 years old in this picture. Time man… where does it go?
Say you're a Bardstown native without saying you're a Bardstown native.
Hey Biggie and Tupac died. I'm just stating the obvious here. Don't kill the messenger.
The Llama Booker diss track gonna be
.Odds it starts with “My name is King Llama and I’m here to say…”?

More like "Check one, two...
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen..."
Three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven, twelve, thirteen, fourteen, fifteen, sixteen, seventeen..."
I'm good with it. Still have to play good teams eventually.
Part 2 of Jeen-Yuhs was unreal. All the College Dropout recording sessions.
Part 1 & 2 are amazing. Part 3 is hard to watch. Just a chore to watch that circus.
Man, C. Wesley Morgan's daughter was murdered just because a crazy person wanted to get into a house with a bunker.
Cythiana ain’t got no love for B-town???? Y’all don’t love Booker Noe??? Well let it be known then.

I'm sorry, but I think Kanye sucks. Always have. Anyone who calls him a genius deserves to be slapped.
Genius is a bit hyperbolic. Only a handful of musicians can be described as such, but until his mom passed, he was putting out incredible albums. MBDTF might be my favorite hip-hop album of all time.
I can't really get behind his insane antics as of late. The guy needs help.

I ask this question knowing that it fully exposes me to admitting to watching a women’s bball game but why the hell are the refs wearing masks during the game?
That old line "there's a fine line between genius and insanity" applies here. He's no Van Gogh but he's put out some bangers if we're honest here
LMAO, rappers steal samples? Of what? Lyrics?
Do you even have a clue who raps or produces, or what the difference is?
Incredible? He had 1 that was incredible. But he was a beat hustling MFer and EVERYONE was using him and had him trapped in that box before Jay.
To be able to have the talent to seperate yourself from millions of other people and become world famous and a millionaire requires a certain level of genius, and that cannot be argued. Think of how many people play an instrument/mix records/are involved in music and think of how difficult it would be to become world famous at it. Its almost unfathomable.
