    Bob Huggins?

    It would be hilarious to see Cal hire Huggins on the staff when Barnhart refused to fire Cal because guys like Beard, Oats, and Pearl have too much baggage.

    Unpopular Opinion

    Despite the last 10 years I've still had sex with my wife hundreds of times. Why not give it another go?

    “The 5 Portal Players to Save Cal’s Job”

    There are many, many issues with Cal, but at the heart of them all is he doesn't understand modern basketball. He had a team built to play modern basketball fall into his lap in November this year due to a crazy domino effect of circumstances. He achieved great results with them, and immediately...

    Per Matt Jones: Cal is officially back

    You're right, his job is safe. I guess I'm talking from the perspective of fan approval... which he doesn't really need as long as the money continues to roll in from the football side as you've mentioned. Feels like our hands our tied from a basketball perspective and I'm not really sure if...

    Per Matt Jones: Cal is officially back

    Maybe the board and president think differently than I do, but I would think Mitch actually takes on less risk firing Cal, not more. I would at least be understanding that there isn't a homerun hire out there, that we have to roll the dice and the new hire might not crush it in year one or year...

    Alabama makes 3 Sweet 16's in 4 Years

    Oats is a winner when you look at the schools he has coached. Buffalo isn't supposed to make the tournament, and he got them to the 2nd round twice, and got a 6 seed one year which is unheard of for a MAC program. Alabama has no history whatsoever, to rebuild them as quickly as he did is...

    I knew things would get worse and worse after 2015

    The other factor that happened in 2015... Cal got inducted into the HoF. I genuinely believe that had a psychological effect on him. He chased the perfect season and came up short, and it took everything out of of him, but at least he got inducted to the Hall. He had no more carrots to chase...

    Anyone Else Not That Upset?

    Idk I think I am almost upset over how not upset I am over that game. I expected this garbage and conceded that Kentucky basketball is going nowhere as long as Cal is here.

    Reed is an Elite Defender - Why do so many people disagree?

    Yes, a lot of the complaints of people saying he is "lost" on defense are because he is on the weak side and either tagging the roll man (which is correct defense) or shading in the lane, which is debatably bad defense, but also partially attributed to coaching scheme (we always shade to the...

    Reed is an Elite Defender - Why do so many people disagree?

    Please do. I'm serious. There was the one at the end of regulation against Florida where he was sleeping off ball against Clayton. That one was bad. But I think for some reason that sticks out in peoples mind more than anything else and because it confirms this biased narrative that Reed is...

    Reed is an Elite Defender - Why do so many people disagree?

    I am not telling myself anything, its not my opinion. I am just reporting what the metrics say.

    Reed is an Elite Defender - Why do so many people disagree?

    This is the problem with how people discuss defense now. First of all, there are so many on/off ball screens and switches/pick ups in transition that very, very rarely are you playing 1 on 1 with someone. Its a team game. Secondly, the advantage is always going to go to a good offensive player...

    Reed is an Elite Defender - Why do so many people disagree?

    This just isn't true. Show me specific examples of this happening. You can't. Theres been a handful of times this season where he has gotten taken off the dribble straight up, and almost all of those were early on. It hasn't happened in months. If you actually watch the film he is very good at...

    What do you believe Cals objective is?

    I think his first 7 years here, his priority really was to win championships. He was hungry. First to prove that he could win a title, then to see if he could make history and go 40-0. Getting people to the league did matter to him, probably more than it should've, but he used that to fuel...

    Reed is an Elite Defender - Why do so many people disagree?

    I keep seeing this narrative that Reed is a bad defender, or people saying the issue with playing Reed/Dilly/Reeves lineups is because of how poor they are all on defense. Let's look at the numbers and advanced metrics for a second, because the numbers have no bias and are objective facts...

    Things I don't get

    Their fresh legs will come in handy when they are jumping out of their seat on the bench watching Wagner *ALMOST* make an open 3 or when Ugo blocks a shot out of bounds only for the other team to hit a wide open 3 on the base line out of bounds play seconds later.

    7 of the 8 losses

    We also easily could have lost at Florida, probably should have lost to Saint Joes, easily could have lost to UNC, and were losing late at Arkansas. So really this team could be 14-12 if some breaks didn't go our way in those games.
