If his career was similar to the last 5 years he wouldn’t sniff the Hall of Fame. First half of career- sure, Hall of Famer. It’s the regression that’s a big issue now.
He likes to win. But the problem is, he doesn't HATE to LOSE.
Winning for him is a bonus - and helps justify himself - but his actions - esp. the past 5 seasons speak louder. He is about "draft night, gen poverty, bigger calling, etc." and really isn't concerned as much about winning (look at his record vs top 25, decision making, playing time). Win? sure he will take it and it boost his ego that he can still coach... but lose and lose with the right guys playing - THAT is the real win.
He has a NC because of AD and MKG, and a really down year in college basketball. My 5-year-old could have "coached" that line-up to a natty.
He's 100% bipolar...check out his musings in game threads...he probably has a pez dispenser for lithium... [laughing]
Edwards/Wagner played 54 minutes compared to 32 for sheep/dilly. Compare their production and get back to me on their importance to the team again. We should have won last nights game against the #1 team in the country with zero production for those two. Dilly/shep were both removed from the games at times they were having a high impact. Edwards/Wagner remained in the game while having no impact and arguably negative impact with bad shot selections. Dilly/shep both made mistakes down the stretch but if not for them we would not have been in position to win either.
"GIGANTIC MISTAKES" - LOL Shep was +3 on assist/steals to turnovers. And he only missed one shot. How many airballs did DJ/Edwards jack up? Your agenda is so obvious, amplifying Shep's errors and minimizing the Golden Boys'.
That's even more impressive as he would have been like negative 6 years old at that time.
then why doesn't anything change???????
all those easy wins @ Memphis
this type of stupidity is nothing new
Yeah. He is so smart that he inadvertently outed his identity last year. He now, smartly, has his post history blocked. You look him up online and it all adds up. I’ll leave it at that lol.
ccc lie.........how dare you say a used car salesman would not tell the truth
Sounds peculiarly similar to another poster we all know who's name rhymes with Bedjelly... [laughing]
I assume you mean like playing Reed Sheppard late in the game for that costly turnover, right? Or do you mean playing Aaron Harrison to hit game-winning shots? Or do you mean playing Demarcus Cousins to get a game-tying bucket at the buzzer? Or wait, you mean playing Dominique Hawkins vs Michigan to shut down Nick Stauskas? I could play this game all day, but you already look foolish so what's the point?
Interesting that all of your previous examples precede 2015. Hmmm...
Pretty sure Reed Sheppard played last night, you know, in 2023.
I said "previous examples." Reading comprehension, hmmmmm...
That’s a very silly comment to make. It happened whether you wanna accept it or not. He went to final fours at UMASS and Memphis too.
I could say the same thing about the 96 team and having Mercer, Anderson, Delk. Are you saying coaches don't matter?
If this guy can't simply look at the SEC Championship gameplan in 2017 and the UCLA NCAAT game in 2017 and not see legit really good coaching strategy, then he can't be helped.
If you had to win a game with your life on the line, would you pick him as your coach? I know I wouldn’t.
For sure it was coaching! I knew by halftime UK was the better team.
Cal has done less with more than any coach in the last 15 years. That's a fact. How many pros does KU have compared to UK during that stretch, and how many titles? You're arguing a straw man, that somehow we think Cal can't coach a lick. Obviously he can coach. But he gets outcoached by the better coaches in the bigger games. See Memphis/KU 2008. UK/WVU 2010. UK/UNC 2017. WI/UK 2015. The man will never win another title here. What is Cal's record against the top 25 in the last 5 years? If you can't see that Cal is declining and has been for a while, then you can't be helped.
