Just throwing this out there.

  • 2011 we were robbed in the Final Four due to terrible calls by John Higgins ( Not the sole reason why we lost )
    • Terrible in game decisions by Cal
  • 2015 we were also robbed by terrible calls by John Higgins ( Not the sole reason why we lost )
    • Played the Harrison Twins at the last moments of the game, even though they were playing terrible.
    • Should have had Ulis and Booker in, took them out for no reason.
    • Scouts where at that game. Cal wanted to get the Twins drafted. Where are they now?
  • 2017 we were also robbed by terrible calls John Higgins in the UNC game ( Not the sole reason why we lost )
    • Big time scouts where there for that game for Fox and Monk
  • Last Nights Game at USCjr.
    • Wagner played selfishly -- His dad was there
    • His selfish play lead to terrible turn overs and bad ball movement which should have resulted in a run for KY ( Not the sole reason why we lost )
  • Misc. Games
    • Remember back when announcers say a players parent was there or if a lot of scouts where there.
    • We lost those games and played selfish

Here are my points....

Point A: If we won our championship in 2015, a good percentage of us would probably be frustrated but may not be calling for Cal's head

Point B: If we won 2015 and either 2011 or 2017, with us having 3 total championships under Cal, a major portion of us would be saying how many championships Cal has etc.

Point C: Championships is the ULTIMATE GOAL and the priority that matters to Kentucky Fans. Cal had so many opportunities but blew it.

Point D: When scouts or parents are around we play selfishly and bad. Team ball goes down the drain. Cal created an atmosphere that you're not here to win championships but to get to the NBA. When new recruits come in, they say they want to win it all, but it's merely just lip service.

Point E: John Higgins being our ref at crucial games in the NCAA tourney and us having an insane crazy losing record in the tournament of us losing is absolutely absurd. He hates Cal. Do you remember any time in Kentucky's history were we have a terrible losing record in the NCAA tourney like that?

Final Point: If Cal's priorities are to win Championships and has 2-3 under his belt, most of us would not worry as much about the future of the program.

Sheppard plays great most of the time and his parents attend every home game.
 
Even if Calipari had won in 2015 or in any of the years mentioned, I still want him gone. Calipari use to be focused on what Kentucky basketball is about, titles and tradition.

Now, it's about him. He's saying it's about his players, but it isn't.

How many times has Calipari truly admitted that his coaching decisions lead to his team failing like last night? Help me remember because I can't right now.
 
We'll look back on this team in 10 years when their pro careers have been established and wonder how Wagner and Edwards ever played ahead of Dillingham and Sheppard. Just like Booker and Ulis playing behind the twins

He sat RD after he started getting hot and then here comes Wagner and Edwards.

Dilly’s ability to create space and make shots that aren’t wide open is especially valuable against a physical defensive team like we played last night. I know he played 26 minutes but it probably should have been 36.

Not wrong! I am sure there are many reasons for that. For me, its probably has to due that the entire family loves Kentucky basketball. The rest come here to get drafted.
