Would you swap coaches? Ive got a feeling the KU fan base doesn't really care about the possible violations.
No.The cheating doesn't bother me much because the NCAA sucks but having thug players off the court is disgusting.
Give me your reasons. Before last year, this board deemed him the worst due to his annual early departures in march...like clockwork. So does 1 year excuse all that, or did you think he was better all along?
He's been at KU longer, and can you really compare the two intelligently by looking at rings? If Liggins makes that 3 against UConn, we win a title, which isn't in Caliparis hands. If the refs called the shot clock violation against Wisconsin, we win another title, another example of it not being in the coaches hands. If you look at the games, I think Cal has put UK in the running to win a title more than Self. Maybe Im wrong, but we're very very close to UK sitting on 3 rings instead of 1 in the last 10 years. And the reasons Cal doesn't have 3 rings cant be blamed on him. Thats like blaming Tom Brady for his receiver dropping the ball.
Duh, you did notice who cut down the nets last year and who passed UK in all time wins...definitely a better coach than Cal.
Just curious, did you think this after Cal beat him on his home court last year? Or is this a recent revelation?
Just curious, did you think Self was better last year when Cal creamed him on his home court? Or is this a recent change of heart?
Flawed argument here imo. There are a lot of teams every year that are one or two plays away from “winning it all” but don’t. In the end, it doesn’t matter how close you are. You either won the title or you went home like the other 67 teams. That is the blessing and the curse of march madness. Hell in the covid year KU was 17-1 in the big 12 and 28-3 overall. They were the consensus #1 going into the tourney that was cancelled. Self could very easily be sitting at three titles instead of two, but in the end it doesn’t matter. I think you should look at titles, Final Fours to gauge overall success
Felt that way for years. He's always maximized his roster and talent better. Doesn't get as much talent. Not sure he develops guys better than Cal and that is part of coaching. If we are talking Xs and Os, strategy, and roster management he is better.
I don’t know that Cals reputation outside of lex is any better than scumbag tbh.
Nope. Self is a blatantly cheating ass. Hard to say if he’s a better coach or not with all the damn cheating he does.
Granted
They played at a good high level. They always been ranked higher and never lost to a cupcake. KU was down 15 games of all time wins just in 2019. They now up 5.
Never lost to a cupcake? Give me a break. Kansas is routinely bounced in the first weekend as a top 4 seed. Remember Bucknell? He has the same number of Final Fours in 19 years at Kansas than Cal does in 13 years here. He's lost to Oral Roberts at home when Kansas was ranked #3. He's lost to a 2-6 UMass team.
Let’s see. Winning coach, great individual and top drawer recruiter versus a sticking toupee wearing cheating scumbag. Hmmmm.
