i dont post here and read here as often as i used to i assume from everyone's reaction UMM is a big troll, fair enough. However you aren't a rational fan if you can't see that Cal's biggest wins are players making plays and when we lose tight games it players not making plays. That's his thing. We beat UNC because Monk went against Cal's wishes and popped a 3. He made it that's awesome. However in every big game we lost Cal has made little to no coaching adjustments. You lose to USCjr on the road, Auburn, Baylor in January, that doesn't get the ire of most of the fanbase. But you lose in the tournament as a favorite to a lesser team, lose to a UNC, Duke, UL, IU those kinds of teams in the regular season games you should be fired up and ready to coach in that's a problem.
Everyone and every team has bad nights, but if you are such a homer and Cal apologist you can't admit that for all his strengths his one biggest weakness is not being able to make in game adjustments i don't know that i can consider your opinion worth merit. I love Cal, love his swag and his bravado, but i can't watch Fox and Briscoe take terrible shots and look off Bam in the post. Make lazy entry passes. When Cal said after 2013 I'll never let a team hold me hostage again and he's let his team dictate to him every year.
When it was clear Monk was off getting to the rim should of become the plan and feeding Bam. Rick outsmarted Cal, mucked the game, and baited us in to taking terrible shots, at no point did Cal ever try to stop it. Just like Huggy in 2010. In the same regard Rick saw how terrible our pick n roll D was, just like UCLA he used it to kill us. Just like Wisconsin did in 2015 and UConn in 2014. If you want to give Cal the ultimate praise which 90% of the time he absolutely deserves you also have to be able to point out his shortcomings and that my friends is in game adjustments. He flat out doesn't do it.
