I know people hate Matt Jones but you might want to listen to this.

Good, lets get it all out there. I believe the Kyle Tucker stuff about the facility was half truth crap from Cal the first I heard it.
Yeah don't expect much from Mitch. Will give it a try. Maybe he will say something.
If only Cal would man up and join the show as well, would save us a lot of time and energy "guessing" what has really transpired.
good for Mitch. Cal is such a snake.
Mitch will be like our bb program is just fine and John has everything under control. Next question...
Another shot across the bow from Barney!
He’s going on a show cow is afraid of. Going to call cow out publicly this time I believe! It’s getting ugly!

Again
Don’t expect anything from this
There will be a whole lot of words to say very little

They should take a question from Bob in Jamestown.
I really want KY Joe to call in and sing a Mitch Barnhart song.
Well, he's giving Cal a bigger vote of confidence than I expected. In terms of righting this season, at least.
I am on the other side of this one. I think MB HAS to address the Kyle Tucker reports that Cal had funding for a practice facility and Mitch said no. I think MB has to address the fact that Cal wanted to increase his staff to add an "OC" and a "DC" but Mitch said no. I think he has to address that Cal wanted to immediately apologize to Stoops and Mitch said no. So I think Mitch is on the defensive. And I also think he needs to go. His stances on so many things are getting the entire program behind the times.
Mitch saying what I suspected. So many moving parts, he's not just "not accepting the funds." That was a ridiculous way it was positioned from the beginning.
This is an incredibly long term process and project. And he doesn't have $30 million ready to hand him. He said he thinks he can get it. He absolutely would accept the coach's help with funding these projects. It's not nearly as simple as he told Cal no.
I kinda get saying no to the OC and DC thing. Like…we are paying you 9m a year…what do you do exactly?
This isn’t football where you have a 150man roster and the units are two separate units with a 1000 intricacies. You coach about 10 guys. And the same 8 man rotation plays both sides of the ball. He also has multiple other bench spots…if he wants to bring in a good young offensive mind then fire one of your old buddies. That’s just Cal tying to be “innovative” and “trend setter” and get credit for changing the game.
Now if the rest is true…I agree. Let Cal build the facility and let us get something back from all the players that used the school for 1 year and the $9m coach …build that public relationship. And Cal definitely should have made a legit public apology and explained that it wasn’t an either or but that he was saying ppl care about basketball here more than any other program out there and he duly supports Stoops and what the football team is doing on the national stage etc or something along those lines. Mitch telling him to keep his mouth shut just made it worse and drag out
Gotta give it to Matt Jones he isn't shying away from asking the hard questions.
I am shocked that there was not one single question about NIL.
So anyone listening who can give a synopsis?
I’m not in a situation where I can listen in

I’m not a fan of him at all but you are right about this, he ask what we all wanted him too. Not sure we know anything more now than we did before the interview though.
He gave full support to Calipari. Sorry about your luck.
Jones did a great job - Mitch did too great interview
I don’t believe Mitch that he sets on Cals office after a game
Don’t believe that one
