And I say WHEN because the Cal era is over....will WE agree to give him a couple honeymoon years to recruit 3 and 4 stars who are not using as as a turnstile to the league?

Will you STFU when the long game recruiting strategy does not yield failed #1 recruiting classes?

Cal has created this reoccurring nightmare that does not change in 1 season.

Do you agree to give him some time to clean the stench of Cal from the program?

Eventually we will find out that there was something going on behind the scenes this year.

When a normally rational person does something repeatedly irrational, there is a reason for it.

Cal has not, in the past, consistently run a substandard lineup to start games and halves. It doesn't make any sense whatsoever, and no rational coach would have started Wagner and Edwards this year the way Cal has. It is irrational and it cost us games.

Therefore, something is going on that has convinced Cal that it is in his OWN best interests to start those two, regardless of the consequences. Everybody in the known galaxy knew if he kept throwing Wagner and Edwards out there, we would lose in the NCAAT. Even Cal knew that, because he isn't stupid. He's never done anything like this before in any other season except for 2021 with Askew and Boston.

So what's going on? Is he being paid to showcase those two? Does he have a figurative gun to his head?

We will find out eventually. Hopefully it isn't in a "tell-all" book by one of the players.

The clincher will be when Reed departs for the NBA. Then you know he's had it with Cal and his nonsense favoritism.

Anybody checked this out yet?
Pretty good watch.
Kudos to the girl who made the doc.
She definitely trying to burn that shit to the ground.
The most eye opening thing to me was how much money some of these parents spent and the kids really weren't out of control.
Some real bad ass kids would have probably killed some of the " counselors"

It's so annoying! They should not be in the tournament. It's not because of a lack of talent, it's because the did not earn a bid with their play.

Now they have nothing to lose, they know they shouldn't be in it. So they are loose & going for it. Of course, people will say because they're playing well it shows they should be in it. We'll, they're missing the point. MSU has talent but they just did NOT get it done during the season! It's bologna! Committee had some Izzo lovers & got in. Now, they may go to the final 4!

on 5 three-pointers today?

If he and Cal do have a strained relationship as many have stated. I bet Cal has the pucker factor right now knowing the one person he can't stand and has shunned is making the decision.

I'm over the anger. I'm over the hurt. I know the important tournament starts on Thursday. Technically, Tuesday, but do any of us really count those games?

I've been patient. I've been understanding. I have actually been defensive in a lot of ways.

But IMO, it's do or die time. Tonight was terrible. I do love Buzz Williams ever since I saw him almost get murdered once for dancing on WVU's court after a win, so I am happy that it was at least him, but damn.

I've been on the fence for a while now. Covid was a weird year so I forgave that. The next season we peaked too early and had some unfortunate injuries so I forgave that. Last year was just...a struggle, but there was always hope of THIS year so I let it go.

If Coach Cal can't win something...hell, anything, this season, then I'm gonna have to join the haters. I know that and a buck fifty will get me a cup of coffee these days (thanks inflation...LOL) but I don't know what else to say. This is getting ridiculous.

Thanks for attending my Ted Talk. LOL

Another thread suggests they are working on a buyout with Cal hanging around. Pushback on that is why would any coach come here in that situation?

What if that coach was Bob Huggins?

A restraining order keeping Brad Calipari away from the program.

He needs to be shipped out west or something.

Travis Perry one game away from a ring.

?

Calipari feels the pressure and is passing it to team both consciously and sub-consciously.

Made a post before brackets came out last week hoping we'd be out west and have less fans in the stands. This is why...

Things are just tense here and they are not fixable with Cal. He cannot breakthough with players because he is shook. I think he's been shook for nearly a decade.

Anyhow, interesting debate.

Will anyone be streaming it on delay on YouTube ?? Thanks, in advance.

Wins and losses.
Many other factors are involved here and I think most of you have heard them.

That may be the thing some outsiders won’t completely understand.

1. Cal is gone

Or

2. Reed miraculously comes back


Reed is a once in a generation Kentucky player, not just because of ability, but lineage, bleeding blue, etc. So if that kid came back, I would continue to support him.

Get a new coach, I’m all in.

Otherwise, I am done. Can’t fully express all the ways I loathe Cal at this point.

I could handle him being a bad coach. A bad coach with some humility, who brought in good kids but choked too much. I wouldn’t like it, but I could handle it.

I can no longer deal with the arrogance and condescension. It’s unhealthy.

I’ll start. You sunshine pumpers can have this site. I plan to forget all things UK until I hear Cal has been fired.

Poor Izzo.

The tournament is always tainted with his smugness about UNC’s success.

We have no way of knowing with certainty, but do we think our athletic department keeps a general finger on the pulse of social media and/or message board sentiment? The last time I recall such an absolutely universal belief amongst the online presence was probably Joker, but I’ve always felt the empty stadium for the Vanderbilt game was ultimately what pulled that trigger.

Rupp will never look like Commonwealth did that day, but in every form of media or interaction you can find, it’s unanimous today. I’m confident it doesn’t rank highly on the criteria list for such a monumental decision, but does it carry ANY weight at all?

Longhorn fan today! Hook ‘em.

That’s part of the problem, but that’s also why it’s all Cal’s fault. No one should blame a player, period. It’s all about his complete inability to coach.

Do you think it happens? I had the USC women 32.5 spread against Texas A&M Corpus Christi. They were up by 34 with 28 seconds and foul The A&M player who proceeds to hit 2 free throws and put the spread at 32. Coincidence or do you think there is more to players betting or even shaving points?

Multiple people familiar with the situation told the Herald-Leader in the immediate aftermath of Kentucky’s loss to Oakland that there’s no way Craft, specifically, would do such a thing. Others with direct knowledge of the situation said later Friday afternoon that there have been preliminary talks exploring the possibility of a buyout involving the Crafts.
