Hell noDid West Virginia 2010, Wisconsin 2015, KSU 2018, Auburn 2019, St. Peter's 2022, and KSU 2023 have better players than Cal as well?
So refreshing to see most of these coaches. Being calm in control. Actually drawing up plays during time outs. Not constantly yelling at officials. Or screaming like a lunatic at players.The complete opposite of the micromanaging, screaming idiot on the sidelines in Lexington.
Agree except the part about 50. I think that number is way higher than 50.Larranaga is WAAAAAAY better than Cal. But then, there are 50 other coaches who are also better than Cal.
It's actually quite the OPPOSITE!!!!
I know SEVERAL FORMER boosters that NO LONGER give to UK Basketball and the MAIN reason is CAL!!
I did like those comments. Refs aren't going to lean in your direction at any time, so why bother?Add that to the Danny Hurley interview at the Half where he stated "I looked at myself during our lull in Conference and I was wasting too much time focusing on the officials and not focused on my team". Amazing......if you focus on the team, prepare them and then empower them on the court, good things come in return. If you scream/yell and dominate the focus of both the officials and players, you will not get those results.
What revenue does Cow bring to the university that any other coach in the country couldn’t bring?Not when you consider other factors like how much other revenue he is responsible for bringing to the university which is what you don't quite understand...
Do you realize that train them then trust is Cal's philosophy. His whole thing is that by the end of the season they should be able to coach themselves. Do you just read the nonsense on this board and not follow the team? Do you ever listen to him speak or just listen to what everyone on here says about his press conferences and coaches show?The complete opposite of the micromanaging, screaming idiot on the sidelines in Lexington.
I heard a U booster signed Pack for 450k. Heard we backed off on the price.Here's one thing I'd add to this--the class that is traditional 4 yr seniors was considered one of the worst overall in recent recruiting. So it's not a shock that this year was odd and mediocre. When you lack high end talent and then lose that to Draft....the guys left over aren't going to be much. Last year was strong for power teams and look how close Duke almost rode a FR team to the Championship? UNC prevented Coach K's 6th title. But that was a FR dominated team.
Also of UK interest--Kentucky recruited Nasine "Wooga" Poplar and Norchad Omier who are on Miami's roster. They ignored going after guys like Nigel Pack who many fans implored them to and you see why now.
Can you name another HOF coach who had a season close to 9-16?I guess all of the other hall of fame coaches who ever lost in the NCAA tourny don't know how to coach. I didn't know that was a requirement to get in the hall of fame.
No disrespect but that is false. This team has at least three pros on it and probably more and regardless, Miami is not more talented from top to bottom. Now, there are times our players didn't perform sure, but I would argue it is largely due to our rotations and style of offense. Our offense is archaic and it doesn't fit our personnel. It takes people like Frederick ( who is a half court spot up shooter) and makes them useless, that isn't lack of talent, that is poor roster construction and utilization. That is coachingLarrañaga is a good coach. He took George Mason to the FF. That’s almost like taking UMass there.
He’s not as good as Cal. But he has better players than Cal does right now.
Cal’s mantra has always been “trust your training”.
Hate on Cal all you want. But it’s about the players.
Wisc 2015 had better refs than we did. Remember the rooferee? Shot clock violation for sure.Did West Virginia 2010, Wisconsin 2015, KSU 2018, Auburn 2019, St. Peter's 2022, and KSU 2023 have better players than Cal as well?
Can you send a pic of his many National championships?The complete opposite of the micromanaging, screaming idiot on the sidelines in Lexington.
