He's talking about John Wall. Anthony Davis. Dan Issel.
I just read some of the excerpts from the interview. If that is what he meant, then I am to be corrected. However, I don't believe that Cal's comments were intended to be degrading because it wouldn't make sense to do that to someone who single handedly beat your team.
He won't get humbled by our lazy turd of a coach, that's the whole point. What do we get out of Michigan St. (or in the worse scenario, Tennessee) beating Tang?
You will never have to worry about anything flying over your head because yours is too far up your backside.
Um, I'm all for Cal hitting the road, but we did just beat Kansas like a rented mule last year. In Lawrence.
I was a bit surprised for him to talk so much about a victory against a program that is only a shell of what it used to be.
I know, but take some other factors into consideration, like our 2-5 record against them since Cow got his spirit crushed against Wisconsin & the fact that they won the title that same year while we flamed out vs freaking St. Pete's.
Agree, tang was talking like he has championships and prior success to back it up. MSU will beat them Thursday and he will be going home
MSU doesn’t bother me, they won’t win the championship, Tennessee does, and they will get beat, the whole point of this thread was that both coaches should be getting criticism for what they said after the game.
I loved it, I hope it stung Cal deep. He needed the slap to the face to hopefully wake the hell up. He isn’t a basketball coach anymore, just a shell of who he used to be, plus he is in terrible shape, no wonder he doesn’t wear suits anymore.
From my point of view on Kansas State,the feeling is mutual...I don't like them either.
I couldn't agree more!! Maybe now he is starting to realize that his peers are laughing at him and not with him. Actually, it isn't even accurate to call Tang a peer because I don't think he has done anything to be considered one of Cal's compeers.
Puddie Tang!! That is who Cal has truly become. Most of the time you have no idea what the heck he is saying.
I could be wrong but I have a feeling Izzo will school Tang on coaching.Guess we shall see.
COntext.....It was about UK's tradition. His answer was---"None of those old dudes are coming back....Not gonna help them...." In other words he was saying UK's tradition wasn't gonna win them games.
Meh, tradition doesn't in games...If it did, IU wouldn't be looking at a 30+ year title drought. When RP coached at UK, people didn't fear UK b/c of their tradition----they feared them b/c of the product Pitino was putting on the floor....Same with Cal early in his tenure.
He took last place predicted big 12 team to 3seed. That’s great coaching anyway you cut it
If that is what he meant, he is right. However, he is acting like they dominated the game. They won because of two things. 1. There little kid made some crazy shots late in the second half. 2. Our two scorers couldn't have played a worse game and yet we were still in the game with a chance to win.
Winning tournaments is as much about luck as it is anything else.
Was it good coaching and if so, can it be sustained? What would his record have been without Nowell? He would have been blown out of our game without Nowell. So, was it really great coaching or was/is it one player's destiny. It is way too early to suggest what type of coach he is.
No,IU has been down due in part to hiring inept coaches.Tradition does mean something.Nobody fears UK anymore which is why the Evansvilles and like can come into Rupp Arena and walk out with a win.Indiana has accepted mediocrity for years and unless shit changes at UK,we are heading down the same road.
Thanks to PJ Washington missed 13 of 21 free throws. In the regional final.
