I’ll never understand why Cal didn’t give Z the green light to play that style! Well, actually I kinda do.
Cal is at a crossroads, which path will he choose?
- Thread starter TFCats11
- Start date
All I needed to see from Cal was it being well established that the three R's was the best line up. He still starts his pets against Oakland. Even in the 2 nd half. Incredible amount of stubbornness. Won't change and can't change because his goal is to get guys drafted and not win basketball games for UK.
Do anything possible to get Reed to come back. How do you feel about that?
As it should be. NO COACH should be waiting around, buying time, until his or her primadonna has "made a decision". By stating up front that if you choose to enter the draft you WILL be recruited over in the interest of the basketball program. As you stated. Very few coaches out there who encourage, let alone even allow to happen, this nonsensical (from the perspective of building a program) "take your time on the draft process and transfer portal" crap that Cal has. Put his feet to the fire.
JVC has 3yrs and 33 million dollars and he gladly walk away. The sooner the seasons are over the better he likes it.
It will not be to his detriment. It will be to the detriment of the UK basketball program....again!!
Cal is going to get PAID. I still think he is purposely tanking the program in an effort to get the buyout and ride off into the sunset with birds flying at the UK fanbase.
Cal doesn't GAF. He doesn't want to be at UK and the majority of the players he brings in don't want to be here either.
But, they all want the money the program and fans generate.
Cal needs to be paid and sent packing for the future of the program.
Yes. How can he expect the players to work their butts off if he and his staff doesn't.
him not changing any staff after he and Mitch said it would happen a week ago tells you everything you need to know
Reed isn’t passing up $20+ million over the next few years to play for a charlatan of a coach, and if he does, it will go down as the dumbest player decision of all time… Considering all the circumstances.
It sounds like you're telling everyone what "you" would do in that circumstance. To say that for Reed to do something different from what you would do would makes his "the dumbest player decision of all time" is a bit harsh. Tim Duncan played four years at Wake and could have declared early but waited and was the No 1 pick, so who knows what's best for Reed. People make their own decisions for their own reasons and who's to say that "coming back" for a second (or more) year in college (another program) may not be the better option? We don't know but it's his decision and whatever he decides, honestly, is none of anyone's business. I just wish him well in whatever he chooses. I do agree with your sentiment about the charlatan coach squatting and squandering at UK ... just not sure about Reed's sentiment toward Cal. If I had to guess, I would say it makes more sense to transfer or declare for no other reason than having to play another year under Cal. Two years of Cal and Thiero wants out. Reed is just one short year removed from HS so 3 more years under an authentic coach might be his best option ... just not Calipari, IMO.
Except Sheppard loves Cal and the coaching staff. He came to Cal’s defense after the last game, saying it wasn’t Cal’s fault. If he felt like us fans feel about Cal, then I would say you are right and he probably wants to get away from this mess, but he seems to genuinely believe in Cal. So I can’t really buy into that theory.
