You're not understanding my point (I'll give you the benefit of the doubt that you're not choosing to be obtuse).
My point: that five year stretch coincided with K's failure and or refusal to recruit multiple OAD guys. His 2010 title was a well-earned championship, although it was an anomaly that fell into K's lap once UK and KU underperformed in the tournament and were bounced before the Final Four. If someone can find an easier run to the title than Baylor-WVU-Butler in recent years, I'd like to see it. The subsequent years after the 2010 team saw much of the same thing - K reluctantly embracing OAD and seeing much of the same results he saw from 2005-2009, losing in '11, '12, '13, and '14 to inferior tournament teams, all the while continuing his degradation of a full-blown OAD approach. Of course, that changed with the class of '14, wherein he added three OAD players.
Fact: Coach K has advanced past the Sweet Sixteen twice since his 2004 Final Four with teams that were not heavily-predicated on OAD players. He saw the writing on the wall and finally listened to his assistants, to which I give him massive credit. What I would like to see, however, is the abundance of Duke fans who followed his anti-OAD theme with elitist impunity, to actually acknowledge, in mass, that they exhibited the height of hypocrisy in their smear campaigns on Calipari and OAD players.
Your boys down in Durham trashed OAD when you couldn't see the benefit of it. Once K adapted Cal's approach and saw that it worked, your fans suddenly did a 180 flip.
This is perhaps the most significant reason that the Kentucky fan base currently resents your fan base. It has less to do with your on-the-court success, and more to do with the smug, two-faced nature in which your program and your coach have evolved.
