Define "Cal Hate", then list those that fall into that group. This board has people that think Calipari can do no wrong and it has people that are tired of Calipari's one and done system. I think the number of people that want to see Calipari gone is really low...REALLY low! But there are people that question if Calipari needs to adapt/adjust so that UKBB has a better shot at a NCAAT title...which is what all UKBB fans really want...right? Anyway, I really don't see any real hatred for Calipari
Agree with this.
I don't understand the posters who take a criticism of Cal and immediately label it hate. Apparently, they can't grasp anything in between adoration and hate.
I want the UK basketball program to be focused on winning titles as its #1 goal. There can be other goals, but they start at a distant second.
I don't care who the coach is. It can be Cal or it can be someone else. What I want from that coach is 100% effort toward that #1 goal. That means 100% in recruiting, 100% in strategically building a team/program, 100% in strategically scheduling that sets us up for success in the tournament, 100% in preparation for opponents, 100% in coaching and managing games, etc.
What frustrates me about Cal is that it doesn't appear as if his #1 goal for our program is to win championships because he's not all in on all of those things. It seems as if his #1 goal is getting kids to the NBA. Not just because he has basically said as much in the past, but because of his actions or lack thereof.
I like Cal. I don't hate him by any stretch. His win loss record is about as good as you can expect. I just get really frustrated that there are so many areas that could be better than they are and we probably could have won a few more championships with the incredible talent he's brought here. And it's tough to envision that we're going to win any more championships anytime soon without changes.
