As I recall, we DID go after Wright in that 07 coaching search that instead ended up with us hiring friggin Billy Gillispie. But he was not interested.

I think Wright is just total Villanova through and through, and not interested in any other college job.
Agree 100%.

We need a coach committed to the college, developing a program, and keeping kids in school. Jay Wright at a place with the history of UK would put us back at the top.

I do feel the 1&D is over. There are many years where there should not be a 1&D, but Cal does not have that belief. We need to get ahead of it and make a change.
Op is an idiot. He must be a Louisville fan. They are the only fans I know that are this stupid.

Yes, let's do an exhaustive search for a coach who had modest success until 3 yrs ago. I'm sure we will find one that will go to 2 title games in 3 yrs. Easy peasy.

Exactly, he has built a program and loves the school so much he will not leave. This is what KY needs to get the love of the fan base back. This board use to be 3x what it is
now. 1 and D is killing us.
Fan base loves the team and the coach. You clearly are not and do not. You really just need to find some others to annoy. You really are a troll and a hater.

Tell that to the nova fans about celebrate their 2nd Championship in 2 years. Even if we get the rare freshmen like Davis that can deliver a ring, you have no chance at repeating and being a dominate force.
Go be a Nova fan and learn to spell dominant while you are at it.

Wow! What an original post.......if you don't like the product (coach/team) then move and sell your papers on another corner?

Ok you haters.

I posted my deposits and withdraws. Those following see I made about $3000.

Others that follow me know that I drove 8 hours from Portland to Boise to support this group.

What did you broke haters do this year beside berate fans on this board?

Truth is, Wildcat nation is fed up with the 1&D. Without future NBA hall of famers, we can not and will not win championships! PERIOD!

Then maybe that is a sign that you shouldn't bet on them? What did I do this year.....I took my betting money and bought a new crew cab F-150 and a Tracker Pro175 bass boat..........IF you bet what you say you do you could make $3K from the interest on the money you bet, or more.

Don’t think that’d work for Sac Kat. Cheap bourbon and bass boats don’t mix. First cast, he’d go large and drown.

John Beilin is a very good coach that I think could dominate if he was at a school that could recruit better. His style of play is very fun and players would like to play it.

Agreed he would make a great assistant coach here.

Crack pot posts like this are clearly intended to bait otherwise normal human beings into responding. Like UK haters Goodman, Forde and Thamel we have some purported “fans” on this board who clearly have a desperate need for attention. The OP is one. From this point forward, I suggest we treat OP’s posts like the instant one as well similar kinds of posts by others on this board in the same manner we treat a post linking a Forde, Goodman or Thamel story, to wit: we simply ignore them. The absolute worst response that attention serking posters loathe is to be ignored.

Really? So, you're not happy with Cal? Sounds like a troller to me.

"Hall of Fame Recruiter, not coach." The people who voted Calipari into the Hall of Fame less than three years ago would say otherwise, but hey, what do they know compared to SacramentoKat, right?

I can understand people making the argument that he should have won another title or two, or that maybe it's time to rethink his "Players first" one and done philosophy, but to try and argue that a guy with a National Championship, numerous Final Fours, and who turned schools like UMass and Memphis into powerhouses while he was there doesn't have a HOF-Caliber resume is just asinine.

Didn't read the thread, but do have a question for the OP. What exactly would we offer a coach like Jay Wright? We have a coach.

You must be 2 years old. In reality I'm guessing you're late teens to 20's. Cal put UMASS on the map & never had a top 25 player but Camby & he was 24th.

How many 5 stars did he have at Memphis?
Dejuan Waggoner, Derrick Rose, & Tyreke Evans.

At Memphis Cal made NCAA tourney 6 consecutive seasons & that program was DEAD when he took over. Last 4 seasons at Memphis:
2006: Elite 8, no 5-star players
2007: Elite 8, no 5-star players
2008: National Championship runner-up, one 5-star player Derrick Rose
2009: Sweet 16, one 5-star player Tyreke Evans

Know history young one

Beiline at Michigan isn’t a bad coach either. Doesn’t he have 3 final fours??

He can obviously develop players better than Cal....aka Matthews. We think Cal is God because he sold the OAD at the right time. We’d be better off with a coach like Jay Wright or Beline with Kentucky’s facilities and fan base. We’d have players that play for the name on their chest and not a paycheck. I’d put my money on more final fours and maybe an occasional back to back. A back to back in Cal’s system is almost impossible.

You guys can hate on me (growing voice of pissed off UK fans), but Cal will feel the pressure next year after another mass exodus and recruiting misses.

A fan of an opposing team doesn't bother me...especially a broke one!
