Still think he’s gone no matter what but that’s a significant amount for one deal.

Do they get banned for endorsing this crapshow too I have my banking account through central bank

Because for once she was not the biggest damn blabbering fool with lies, gas-lighting and non-sensical responses to legitimate questions.

He is AMAZINGLY tone deaf, full of crap, speaks in chaotic , fence riding, nothing remarks. He has ruined UK Basketball for so many. Passionless, bland, excuse riddled, mediocre, visionless, wandering aimlessly, non-coaching, reactive vs proactive.

I am more discouraged than ever after listening that that dump truck full of nothing.

And Mitch - you spineless joke... JVC continues to punk you.

Best Quote - "I am not changing".... sheesh. He thinks he is so hard working and doing such a good job... cannot stand him. "Let's Go!" "Can't wait to get on the court again" vs "We should still be on the court THIS season, but I cannot win in March" Listening to him speak really is a bad idea. Also he clearly just waits/hopes people calm down with time.

Boos should rain down on this joke at every turn. Public humiliation is for those lacking their own humility.

I'm guessing if they take calls they will be heavily screened with somebody with a finger on the Kill button.
And do you think Tom will ask any tough awkward questions ? Cawood Ledford would have.

He sounds pretty assured of himself and his future to me.

I wonder if they aren't going to set up a farewell tour type thing. On the surface, it may sound ridiculous, but they could easily pull it off given Cal's entire legacy and revitalizing Kentucky basketball. But, most importantly, and the main reason, it would allow both sides to save face and make it appear they are parting amicably. UK doesn't look like they are firing a HOFer, and Cal doesn't look like he's being fired for underachieving. It's a win win for everyone (except the fans stomaching being stuck with a lame duck coach for one more season). Plus, it also saves money. It also gives Kentucky a full year for a calm, thorough coaching search. Kentucky also gets a year to decide if they keep Mitch going forward. This scenario is a win all the way around when you think about it.

The program has gone into the crapper ever since many of you Karen's out there demanded that we change the uniforms away from the winning checkerboard style. A bunch of you suck for doing that to us. Cal buckled to pressure thinking it would save his job. Make the current style One and Done.

BRING BACK THE CHECKERBOARD!!!

Reed Sheppard talking about depression to the Big Blue Nation.

“There is a sense of nervousness with everyone around the program (because) no one is really sure where Barnhart’s mind is right now on it,” said Jones. “I am told the University leadership is supportive of whatever he decides. I think we know something by Monday, if not before.”

The worrisome part of this quote is that the University leadership is supportive of whatever Barnhart "unilaterally" decides? This is exactly what many on this board was afraid of, especially considering Barnhart is the one responsible for the "contract" cluster cluck. I can't help but believe the entire chain of influence from the Administration down to Barnhart may be corrupt and self-serving. Everything just wreaks of a foul odor. How can any of them be trusted? It's no different than putting the fox in charge of "guarding" the hen house.

For the people who are against hiring Scott Drew if cal is let go,why are you? Let me put it in this perspective for you.
-Baylor does not have the resources we do. However,he still recruits at a high level with the limited resources available.
-His philosophy is to get one star studded freshman and surround him with older guys.
-His offense is made for March. The spacing in his offense is insane.
-He built Baylor to what it is today. A team that you know will be in the tournament,and will 100% put a fight up in the tournament.
- The last time he missed the tournament was in 2018-2019. The next season? His team went 26-4 and looked due for a deep run in the tournament until COVID cancelled it.
-His first season here he would be bringing 3 top 50 recruits with him presumably. VJ would 100% come.

Wait till Rupp is half empty next season! I won't be going! Hope Mitch can find his panties in his purse!

Older news but our GTech visitors reminded me to bring this up. All the people claiming the GOR won't let people leave... FSU and the Carolina schools seem to be still preparing to leave. Writing is on the wall. ACC schools can't wait for the acc to become the Big East and watch the leftover schools become irrelevant overnight.

Some acc homers are claiming this move was to keep them from leaving because UNC would be more favorable than St. I don't think those people understand ratings.... LOL. If the SEC or BIg take those 2 it will be because they offer more eyeballs than the cost of admitting them. 10.5 million people in NC. Have to think 1/2 would be UNC or NC st die hard fans. So adding 5 million potential eyeballs to each conference game could be enough to pull the trigger. If they don't come to the SEC or Big it's because those conferences don't think they bring value... It's not because GOR prevents them.

Where’s it at ?

Check him out. Ben McCollum at Northwest Missouri State. Won the D2 National in 2017 with a 35-1 record. 2019 with a 38-0 record. 2021 with a 28-2 record and 2022 with a 35-5 record. Merits a call from Mitch if you ask me.

I’ve read too many threads lately, did somebody say we’re close to hiring a women’s coach?

If I was paid 9 million a year to underperform and still get a lifetime deal.

IF he’s up yo the challenge and would accept I’d hire Bryce Drew! I loved watching his GCU team play and watching him not yelling at his players the whole game!

He's young and has been great in his short stint at Arizona with a top 10 offense and a top 10 defense this year.
And he's not one that is sure to say no. Donovan has already told us no too many times and he's had
two great years in about 30 as head coach in college plus the NBA. Pearl and Wright are too old
and Stevens and Hurley are pipe dreams, and not just weed pipe dreams but something much stronger.

Cal is currently in New Jersey and has been since the loss. Expected back tomorrow, said he think the most likely option is parting ways and a lot of people in the administration want a change.

Also said Jay Wright would be the first call and Scott Drew second. Said there was possible some interest there.

Huge if true

We got back in our seats early at the tournament. UK took the floor before Oakland. All of our coaches went and sat down or stood in a circle with Cal talking. Our guys grabbed 1,000 balls and began goofing around and shooting. No one could tell how they were shooting because 7 balls were hitting the rim at the same time knocking anything out that may have went in. Oakland comes out with coaches at the baseline running guys off screens popping 3s, structured all at once they moved to screening for layup drives. I said to my friend… We look like a bunch of guys at the playground, they look like a basketball team. That’s a microcosm of what our program has become. Coaches are being paid 13 million collectively and are not teaching shit. Watching the big guys at Grand Canyon and other mid Majors tear it up while we have 3 seven footers that didn’t improve one ounce. They couldn’t compete against SEC teams that mostly got bounced early. Our program is lower than we think. These coaches are just collecting easy checks and laying back. Cal hasn’t forgotten how to coach, he is just to lazy to coach.
