I wish it was possible to go real old school, and have Rupp or Pitino coach them.
Cal Goes Old School In Practice, Makes It Harder Than Games

Sure Brad , because it’s just about 1 game , lol .
Same people post on this board all of the time. You just dont notice the negativity until it takes over the board following a loss. Doubtful you can find one poster that you are referring too that has only posted following the Kansas and uncw losses and nothing in between.
How many “flukes“ have to happen before it’s not a “fluke” anymore? Asking for a friend….
Is 11-5 at home in the last 16 games considered a "fluke" these days?
More Cal speak. I like hearing it, but I need to see the results Saturday.
Cal is like Mayor West from Family Guy; when he has an issue he opens up his files and goes, "Hmm...which standard response/"tweak" can I use to placate the public?"
Show me Cal. Don't tell me.

Don't care as long as those games do not become a consistent pattern as they have for Calipari. It's not a fluke when it's happening consistently. It's bad coaching.
How anyone can believe a word out of that man’s mouth anymore is beyond me.
Still going to run the same stupid crap offense and play that no help man to man defense, unless he gets a shot blocker supreme.
Wha
A. The taste.
Q. What’s the difference between a mouth thermometer and a rectal thermometer?Oh, he's checking our temperature, all right.......
A. The taste.
I think Hall sat all 5 to start the 2nd half vs Magic and Michigan St
I think it was Fl St maybe
Can't remember for sure but Michigan St is my story and I'm sticking to it 😁
Oh, Some Loretta training...
"The work "they" done was hard, at night they'd sleep because they were tard...." T
Scratch that last sentence...
(I know, I know, I am still at my day job...)
A rational debate response on RR's board in 2023? The world is healing.
Yes, I agree with everything you said here.
In the post game press conference he actually does mention it and said he addressed it during timeouts if I’m not mistaken
the work they done was hard
at the end they were all tard
but their draft stock was still ok
it didn't matter how bad they played
They're all proud to have 5 stars by their name
even tho they ain't got that much game.
Cal will get them to the draft
and UK once again gets the shaft
Really not sure what to make of this. As others have pointed out it is hard to believe a word Cal says these days.
I would consider myself someone who does not like Cal any longer and haven’t for a while, but I doubt that this is the first hard practice of the year.
It is more likely he is just putting this out there to fan some of the negativity or motivate some of the current players to work harder.
In the beginning of the Cal years it seems like the “practice is harder than the games” like was said by him and by players. If he truly has gotten away from that over the years then it could be some of the reason for the decline over the last several years.

"I will not be pawed at thank you very much..."
In the early days guys like Wall, Cousins, MKG and AD seemed to feel they had something to prove and played with a chip on their shoulder. Players in recent times show up with their posse feeling like they have already made it and have nothing to prove till they get to the next level. Cal has accepted and fostered that mindset just to get them here for a year.
Can you tell me the points in the game where UK ran last year's offense? I want to see what "reverts" looks like.
Wait……TF have we been doing in the typical practice for the past 13 years?
My percentages weren’t great but I was a hybrid. I’d hit em wirh a running hook and then next possession, shoot a 3. I was a volume shooter, didn’t mesh
Cal went swaggy after Miami and crapped the bed. the man has to find humility and abandon his swaggy crap. Never take your foot off the gas.
Kyle Tucker will be praising Cal for being a strict disciplinarian for making Kareem Watkins stay in the bathroom stall during halftime and making Ugonna eat a box of pop tarts
They’re not hard to find. They’re the parts where we slowed down the pace, dribbled much more than we passed, took low percentage shots, and turned the ball over by forcing the post entry. Are you being serious, or just a pain in the ass?
Glad to hear he scaled back on his criticism of Reed ridiculous to single out players and blame them for the losses publicly according to cal he never loses the games blame the player some coaches are like that
‘Calipari said during his call-in radio show Monday evening. “Why didn’t we pass the ball? We had 45 possessions of no passes or one pass. You’ve watched us play all year, what in the world? Why?’
‘They “just reverted,” Calipari said.‘
This is directly from from the article posted in this thread. Seems like if you watched the game you wouldn’t have had to ask for a specific point in the game.
There were at least 45 of them in the game though according to Cal. Obviously not specifically last years team because none of the players were really at UK, but that’s not what the quote meant and the result is much more like the last several seasons and not the first 5-6 games of this season is the point I believe both the poster and Cal were trying to make.
Well I figured out at 3 that whoever puts the ball in the basket the most times whens the game. I hope they put in some time on D as well but making shots and playing good on offense can get guys going on the other end of the floor.
Like zone principles which cal refuses to teach or implement during a game when needed. It’s not rocket science but for cal I’m assuming it is.
As I said above, the complaint was that Cal reverted. Not that the players got lazy or inattentive.
What would you call not coaching the players to change during the game though?
Other posters have pointed out these things. It shouldn’t take game film to realize that your team had 45 possessions that bad in the game.
If the players are reverting and playing completely opposite of how they have all year at what point is the coach responsible for bringing them back to where they should be?
Some posters say it is always the players fault and Cal can do no wrong, others say the players are great and Cal can do no right.
The truth is in between, but can you admit that if the players are reverting it is a direct correlation and reflection of the coach? At least he has to hold some responsibility in that case right?
So, the timeout at 13-4. Do you imagine he was discussing dinner? Halftime. More of the same?
So, the complaint is now that he didn't bench everybody who was running at half speed. Not that he "reverted".
