I think the OP kind of has a point. Although not sure if it's 'madness' level. I mean, it's mid Sept. We should be talking about starters and min, schedules, specific games etc. And yet again, we're talking about some BS drama. It just always seems to be something extra. Instead of questioning Cal's in-game decisions, or guys in a slump, or someone showing up chubby or ripped, there's always something like the big Z issue, or who's electing to not play, or leave before they're ready etc. Maybe it's just the nature of the beast with a big time program, or BBN's nature in general. I don't know. But it's always something extra. UK seems like it inches closer to a reality TV show and away from a storied college basketball program. Look, if we aren't gonna go to Final Fours or hang banners, and be left with lack luster seasons... heck, we can do that with a less-drama coach that at least pretends to put the program first. No, I don't blame Cal for Z. My statement is about the state of Kentucky basketball in general. Just always some BS other than basketball these days.
