Cal can’t help himself

He should go to the all star game. He has 6 players in it and would have had 7 if not for injury.

All our fans loved talking about nba with Rondo and prince and Bogan and Hayes. 4 guys that never made a final four here. People on here messed all over their keyboards when prince helped the pistons won the title in 2004. The NBA hatred of former UK players has only been a thing during last half of cal era.

We do not hate those players, we are happy they are all stars and we are happy for 90% of our players in the NBA. What we despise is Cal's promotion of NBA over UK.
 
Everyone is thrilled with the win. Talking to Leach on postgame. But he has to throw jabs at fans about going to NBA all star game tomorrow.
Stop letting people on your tv rile you up. We won. He can say whatever he wants for me as long as we win.

He probably would have said that if we lost too though. He loves his guys in the NBA. I could give a shit myself but it’s par for the course for cal.

This has to be the funniest comment in ages. On a board which can turn a thread about ... cabbages or something ... into an assault on Calipari. Why? For the crime of being critical back. And the horror of being proud of the players he's produced.

And why do you think players come to UK? If you think it is for the academics, then you are not as smart as you think you.

It is. People gotta find something to cry about.

Probably the biggest win of the season. Who cares about the damn post game interview? Why even watch that unless you’re looking for something to cry about.

I agree. We just beat a top 15 team on the road who was undefeated at home this year. There is nothing to complain about tonight.

This is a good litmus test to see who hates Cal more than they like UK.

Yep, some in this thread just don’t get it. NOBODY cares if he goes. He should go, it’s what/how he says it. Always looking for a fight with fans.

And for the clown who thinks I don’t understand that’s a recruiting play, well…. Maybe message boards aren’t for you.
 
Pushing players to thr NBA is Cal’s biggest recruiting tool. I don’t care how much he talks about the NBA as long as we start playing basketball like we used to and being successful. This slump we’ve been in has sucked but this team has the talent to be really good.

There’s nothing to complain about, but yet, Cal was fairly negative in his presser.

It’s how he’s wired. Everyone is out to get him.

Imagine how negative he’d be if he didn’t have $100 million dollars in the bank and a lifetime contract for the best job in college basketball.

It isn't just a recruiting tool. He has stated that his primary goal is to prepare players to earn their living playing basketball. People don't like that and think his primary goal should be winning games and glory. That's fine if you want the games and glory part, but that's not what he's doing.

Not everybody. Just athletic internet boards. Sorry that you think he should be a punching bag.

I understand exactly what you mean, I just want our program to get out of this slump we’ve been in. I’ll over look his nba speeches as long as we start winning more like we use too
