Cal needs to start by putting his best five on the floor that gives UK the best chance to win basketball games. **** this increasing kid’s draft stock. That’s clearly what he’s been doing.
You have a better chance of selling ice to Eskimo’s. Cal isn’t changing. Swaggy Cal left us in 2015 when Bo Ryan coached rings around him.

Agreed. Ya know, Bo Ryan is one of Cal’s coaching “buddies”. Cal is soft as Charmin any time he goes against one of these said “buddies”. It’s almost like he completely loses his competitive edge and fire. Anyone else ever noticed that or is it just me? Just like Rick Barnes, for example.

i’ve noticed and i’ve openly posted that he’s soft. It drives me insane when he says “you know-look Rick is a great coach and friend” meanwhile, Barnes is surprised cal is even his friend. Like dude Rick is beating your **** in and everytime we play and lose, you come out and say “well, look I see it this way, Rick is a great friend of mine and coach and he got his guys to do some things we really struggled with today”

Sadly enough, I don’t think all the motivation in the world will make Cal switch up his defenses from time to time, play multiple shooters together, run better offensive sets, quit dribbling the air out of the ball when up 8 towards the end of games, quit making big men always play back to the basket, quit playing 2 big men together at all times, etc. etc. etc.

He is who he is and as much as I didn’t want to believe the stereotype, the man simply is not a good basketball coach. It is what it is. Have to agree with Charles on this one.


💯 % bullseye dead on post my friend . Cal coaches the way Cal coaches . We are not going to have the talent level to overcome John Benjamin Calapari next year . The talent is getting more and more spread out every year ..you think Benny can overcome that ? His record — the undeniable facts - no , no he can’t . Our program called flat lined on national TV by some of the most respected people in basketball . Totally embarrassing .

So has the whole TNT crew become "Basketball Benny's"???!!!

I LOVE IT!!!! Let Cal WALLOW in the mess he has created here all off-season. When the former NBA players are laughing at how you've sank to a "flatline" level, something needs to CHANGE!!

If this doesn't motivate Cal to get his MOJO back, NOTHING will.
He'll just blame the fanbase

If you compared this years UK team, to the teams playing the tournament,then it’s painfully obvious how soft we were! Boys playing men,and our boys would wilt! We need some dogs like Oregon State, not a 5* amongst them!

I once heard of a coach who said he would prefer to be the "most hated winningest coach than the most loved losing coach"

That is the type of coach the University of Kentucky needs. If they hate you in coaching, you are doing something right because you beat their butt.

Most of the TNT crew don’t watch college basketball all year or keep up with it & im suppose to listen to what they think 😂
It doesn't matter whether you listen to them or not.

The majority of the basketball world listens to them and what they say actually matters because they have a huge audience and are influencers in the sports world.

Yeah just like pro athletes that are speaking on politics, policy & China & their word holds more weight to people than experienced & educated people in that field that do it for a living. So it’s not just for sports it’s everything and you aren’t wrong at all. Lol

Two totally different issues. But carry on.
Have a nice day.
