Seems like you are using one account of a situation to justify your story. You may be close, but you may be way off. I would certainly have to know more before I can believe everything you have tried to put together.
I think Cal micromanages to much to give full control over substitutions to the assistants. I don't pay enough attention all of the time but it seems like I mostly see Cal motioning to players to go into the game.
Z, its called pressing. He has 2 choices since this zit has been popped so to speak:
A. Continue playing me first ball, by pressing and turning it over, like he has all of February basically, which will lead to reduced minutes ;or
B. Go back to his pass first, on the ball defense, and let the game come to him and maybe increase his draft stock by making it to Atlanta.
I noticed in the first Auburn game, it looked as if Ashton was sulking whenever he made a turnover. He took his time getting back into play and down to the other end, along with body language that showed he was disinterested in playing hard for the team, while he was not playing well. Just my take from the top level, it did not look like a person that was willing to make whatever sacrifice he needed to for the team's benefit, which is what you would expect of your PG.
He's been doing stuff like that all year. He misses a layup and he stands there in disbelief for a few seconds. He doesn't get a foul called he complains to the ref instead of rushing back on defense. He stays stuck in the moment instead of moving on to the next play. He needs to have a short memory and forget about what happened and worry about what's going to happen.
It was just a little more obvious, because I was at the game. That is the only game I have a chance to see all year. I like in Opelika.
I've caught flack on here for trying to deflect negativity, including against our players, but to me, an attitude problem is a different story. I wasn't a big fan of Harrow or Orton, and I hope that Hagans isn't falling into that category. It's all under his control.
Funny people complain about people getting out of shape over teenagers playing a game, yet their coach is paid 9 million dollars a year.
Not a bad Idea for a bit at least. If he feels overshadowed he can run the team when Maxey, Quickley, or JJ need a breather or just playing bad.
Baller Cat, what a lie! You love to fight with everyone who doesn't agree with you. You were on the post I wrote about Hagan. You start more $hit then anyone on here. You think your opinion is the only one that counts. I ignored you until you made that smart a$$ remark on my post about "saw" or "seen". Are you the teacher. or just a smarta$$? All of us don't suck Cal, and we have our opinion. He makes mistakes, just as we all do, That doesn't mean we don't respect him, or want him fired.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
Not at all, I just wonder why you always start threads after a loss and never any other time. Any reason?
Keep him on ignore Willie -- makes life much better on here . He's a total horses ass.

I think Cal let them collapse to show what happens when they unravel. It’s a great time to do it when we have the SEC locked up. He doesn’t care about seed really so it may be a good thing at the end of the day. I hope it’s that and not total implosion but I trust he will get it fixed.
Yep. He’s right up there with CatEye. The ignore feature makes this place a little more bearable for the free thinkers.
I just watched the game again for the 2nd time. I still haven't seen this Hagans and Coach Cal thing. When did it happen?
You can't see it on TV because the camera is focused on UT's end. You can see the part where Brooks puts his arm around Ashton. You could clearly see Ashton was frustrated because he slowly took his time getting to his seat after that 3rd foul.
As for the part about refusing to go back in I don't know. I will say though that it did look like Ashton put his hoodie on around the 16 minute mark. That could be something you'd do if you were going to stay on the bench. He did eventually go back in and play like the last 13 minutes.

Dear Mods: I got banned a while back for waaaaay less than this petty cat fighting bs in this thread. May I ask why these fine posters aren't getting the same penalties? Really. I'd like an explanation. Thanks
The amount of pressure Hagans is under is high, high, high. Cal can be overbearing and hard to deal with. The fans can be a cancer to these young men. We tell them to leave and they suck and then expect them to perform like a circus dog for our amusement. How many of you could handle the pressure?
We are a walk in the park compared to fans in the NBA. Let him play the way he has the past month in LA, Boston, Philly or New York and see how he's treated.
Coach Cal has went out of his way to defend Ashton the ENTIRE season. Heck, he even said on NUMEROUS occasions that he felt he was the BEST PG in the country!! So instead of SULKING over his WRETCHED play lately, why doesn't he get in the gym and work on his game?!!!
These kids can't wait to get to the NBA, but some can't take the criticism that goes along with it. I recall Michael Jordan's Hall of Fame speech where he stated that the criticism of the others DROVE him to greatness. Ja Morant went out and played his best game of the season against LA and Lebron because some random dude on Twitter questioned his desire to win. The kids that make it THRIVE off of negativity. All of the best players have this mentality.
This x 1000.
People act like these kids shouldn't be asked to deal with the pressure--if they want to go to the NBA, it's a lot worse. I'm a Lakers fan. The Lakers board doesn't coddle anyone when they suck.
Oh yea. The snow flake generation. They can’t handle criticism. So they pout and sulk or throw a tantrum.
See this post for a timetable: https://kentucky.forums.rivals.com/...gans-and-cal-fight.318271/page-8#post-8741486
This 2nd half timeline is also confirmed by a person who was a couple rows back and witnessed it.
Baller Cat, the thread I started had nothing to do with the loss. I blamed Hagan, just like a lot of the posters did. After watching the second half, and stopping it several times. I saw that I thought I was wrong. When I'm wrong, I'm man enough to admit it, unlike some people. I have NEVER said I wanted Cal fired, but I don't always agree with his "Dribble Drive." As I've said before, if I know that is all your going to do, and you can't hit the three, then your going to be driving against 5 players, and your not going to get very many offensive rebounds. Look back when we had Cousins, Wall and Bledsoe, against WV. We were the better team, but Huggins made us shoot threes. I think we hit something like 2 out of 33.
As to why I don't get on here much, it's posters like you. You are ready to criticize everyone if they don't agree with you. I'm not interested in arguing with someone on here every time I post. I know we don't all agree, but you seem to never agree with anyone if they don't praise Coach Cal. I saw were you had posted, but I ignored it until your comment about me. I have been following the Cats since probably before you were born. I support them in a lot of ways, and so does my two kids who graduated from there, and as of May, I will have three grandkids who have graduated from there, and two of them will start medical school there in August.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
Good for you, though I never take claims on the internet as facts, so I don't believe you.
You said you don't post much, so you have no clue what you're saying about me....... so I don't appreciate you making stuff up. 9 times out of 10, I'm responding to a smart a$$, meaning I didn't start anything with anyone, I simply responded to someone that started something with me. Agree to disagree. I also don't have a problem with Cal being criticized, nor do I have a problem with someone disagreeing with me. It's when people go overboard when I think it's dumb. You saying things like he's winning "in his mind" is meritless. You repeatedly calling me a "Cal sucker" is meritless and vulgar. Have fun only starting threads after losses. I'll count on it.
Baller. you are a habitual liar when you say you don't have a problem with someone disagreeing with you. You have a problem with everyone who doesn't agree with you and everything Cal does.
I'll make you a deal. I will NEVER respond to any post you put on here. My MOM told me to never argue with a fool, because they will beat you down to their level, and win every time.
I would appreciate it if you would never respond to anything I post.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
Whatever floats your boat. Practice what you preach. I disagreed with your take and you proceeded to call me “Cal sucker”, repeatedly. You can’t take it when you are disagreed with or proven wrong. Did she teach you to call people “Cal Sucker”or did you pick up that vulgarity at Duffy’s?

Criticism and abuse are different. Our fans are too fast to stab a guy in the back rather than having their backs.
No, I got that $hit watching you disagree with everyone. Just as you are criticizing all the Big Blue Fans that go to Duffy's to watch the Cats. Please don't post anything on any of my posts, and this will be my last post on anything you put on here. I guarantee you will respond, because you are one of the idiots that has to have the last word.
OLD STOLL FIELD GUY!
LOL, you smart off and then say don’t reply. Life doesn’t work that way. Take the last word. I couldn’t care less.....Hey, do all the people at Duffy’s call Cal supporters “Cal Suckers” like you do? I bet they don’t. Ya know, because most of us support Cal because he coaches UK. Duh.

I feel like it, but I’m 59. What I’m talking about is a competitor being FIRED UP VS some other players we have had in the past that seemed to just go through the motions some games. No, I don't condone or allow back talk, from my own 4 kids OR kids I have coached.
Public de-nutting.
You can’t do it. I’m just saying: it would be one hell of a statement.
