(Thoughtful) "Coach Speak" isn't as bad as I thought it was

No doubt, but you don’t have to say the same thing every single game, that’s why Cal became stale. Just describe the game that happened. What was good, what needs work. Who played well, give some props. Take a few questions and go home.
No I get it. I just see Pope pouring his entire being into these postgames and I realize it's not something you can sustain forever.

Kalkbrenner (Creighton) 90.5% from 2pt range

I saw an article where it's been suggested that the NBA score 3pts for challenged dunks, to try and reduce the number of three point attempts.
man I really hope they don’t do that…talk about completely bastardizing the game with a stupid rule to “fix” something that isn’t broken.

Much less who gets to decide what is “challenged” or not. There are varying levels of challenging and that’s highly subjective. Also encourages more ppl to not jump and challenge the dunk more than anything…not only do you risk a foul but also giving an additional point by challenging.

If you hate that the game is so 3 pt dominant now and the big man has been neglected you’d be better off removing the 3 pt line or backing it up another 3 feet

Lots of bitter people out there

I still remember getting bashed on here for trashing Cal going on his 2nd, 3rd, 4th bad seasons in a row. Some people thought we were married to the dude, and we wouldn't go on without em. Thank Cal for his good times here, and move on to better things. You can't let someone Bob Knight your program.
I was thinking he would Jim Boeheim us , lol .

He was holding on to his old style for many years at UK. He was forced to change at least one time and that was supposed to be the plan this season, before he decided to leave instead. So, he chose leaving a 15-year job over changing. I don't think he's changing. He thinks he can do what he wants at Arkansas now. I think he misunderstands that fanbase. He thinks they're not as rabid as we are, and maybe they're not quite as rabid, but they're very serious about their basketball.
Man I fought hard for him. Until St Peter’s and even that was too long. But I have no problem defending the good times and he gave us plenty. It was evident that those days were behind him. There’s no worse feeling than apathy and that’s where everyone was due to the contract. I’m afraid Stoops is entering the same area, also due to a contract. Now we get to see if Stoops learned from Cal’s past mistakes of refusing change.
