Cal is miserable lol. Pissed too. Watch post game

[NociHTTP]

We just won a huge road game against #12 team.WHO GIVES A SHIT!!!!!

#14 team, but close enough

He thought last year was gonan be his “ ride off into the sunset year”. But because his game plans and in game coaching are terrible, Kentucky lost to a team they should have beaten by double digits

Did anyone actually think last years team was that good?

I saw them as a sweet 16 team at best due to their dog crap defense and being led by too many freshmen. Cal couldn't even come close to that though due to the reasons u mentioned.

I view ride off into sunset as making a final four or winning it all even and last years team wasn't that squad.

If he had made the Sweet Sixteen, he wouldn't have ridden off anywhere. Cal would have returned to UK.

He had no intention of leaving until he checked the pulse of BBN's passion for him as a coach and realized it had flatlined.

Thank you Tyson Chicken!

I first heard this on The Sopranos. It was a sign of the fall of Tony's power and ultimate demise.

Now, fittingly, I associate it with the end of Cal's era at Kentucky. There are many parallels. He was once powerful, but lost his hold on the power he had obtained.

 

[FurdTerguson]

Didn't watch it. Has he started with "they're just kids" yet? Like the other teams aren't playing kids.

I think he misplayed his hand as well. He met with Arky thinking he might could leverage something with Mitch. Whelp. That didn’t work.

Can't post link right now.

Word salad non ending…no details, just gibberish

1. This is hard…you have to get in gym and grind

2. This was a top ten teams and we did good stuff..had a chance but missed a FT, missed layups etc. (uh Ca you scored 60 …that is horrible)

3. Players have to play and it’s my job
To coach If I play you 10 min..show me you deserve 15

4. Teams go thru spells…Celtics went thru some stuff …everyone goes thru stuff. (Cal you’re dead last in sec snd bubble team…Celtics are 2nd best teams in East…there is no comparison)

Etc
Same old crap from a cooked coach

View embedded media

All that and still had a chance. I don't miss that and all the other crap. Sounds like so many of our press conferences the past years. Thank God it's over.🤡

Did he really say his job is to lead? I thought it was to get guys to the NBA.

His job is to change young men lives. So far he has done an excellent job of changing Davis life. He went from being one of the portal's hottest players to one of it's worst.

 

[LmdCat]

Because Cal left Pope without any players, Cal can't even say Pope is winning with his players. Lol

For all his shit that made him unlikable, this wasn’t one of them to me. I have absolutely zero issues with his daughters defending their daddy. Maybe it’s because I am a father to a strong willed daughter or maybe I am an old school guy who doesn’t like to see women disrespected. But i definitely didn’t like the way our fans reacted to his daughters online. There are certain lines, as a man that you do not cross. You don’t disrespect women.

My girl would defend me. I bet some of you have girls who would do the same. We would damn sure defend them. We, as men should have let it go with Cal’s daughters.

This i agree with. I would defend my daddy until hell froze over.

For all his shit that made him unlikable, this wasn’t one of them to me. I have absolutely zero issues with his daughters defending their daddy.

The younger one was fine. The older one was the problem. And for me it wasn't about defending her dad at all. It was about politics and how much more important her opinion was than yours.

 

[Wonky]

As usual just BS, be a team mate and chest bump. Show emotion. You don’t even have to play great just play hard. Dive for balls! Like wtf is that kinda analysis Cal? He said we did the things we wanted we just couldn’t hit a layup lol. Talking about AAU stuff when half his team is older.

The thing that got me was that he made sure to point out that Florida is a top ten team. Lol… AND?? You were allegedly a top ten team as well, preseason. You brought in a ton of talent with your NIL backing. You yourself are compensated like you ought to have a top ten team. So why are you not even ranked, and winless in the league?

Watching Cal's press conference is like watching that ASPCA commercial with Sarah McLachlan singing in the background. Five seconds of cruelty and inhumanity is all I can stand...

 

[sefleming]

This is from CBS Sports

Almonor, who is eighth on Kentucky in minutes, made as many 3-pointers (three) in a period of two minutes as the entire Arkansas team did in its 71-63 loss to No. 8 Florida on Saturday. As the Razorbacks fell to 0-3 in SEC play with another dud offensive showing, the Wildcats turned in an elite offensive performance on the road against a quality opponent.

 

[K_TIME]

Another Cal classic that always went unchecked

This layup stuff…a guy having to drive into endless defenders waiting on you at the rim ain’t your typical thing….he always acted like a shot at the rim was some easy thing even when shooting over defenders

 

[CUJO_1970]

Just think, we could be dealing with THAT and Mark Stoops.

 

[storm1507]

He and his legacy are slipping beneath the surface of the water and there is nothing he can do about it. He's starting to panic.

 

[JimboBBN]

I really haven’t thought about it like this before. But I think Cals cognitive abilities might be slipping as he gets older. He was always awkward here doing them but I kind of feel bad after watching that clip. He’s completely toast.

After having seen so many Calipari press conferences, it's interesting to me to watch the same press conference playbook used again at Arkansas. Like Calipari stating some jumbled, broken sentence descriptions of a few plays and then asking "why would you do that?" - like he as coach had no responsibility for why it happened and keeps happening. And Calipari starting a sentence and then leaning in and raising his eyebrows to signal he's expecting the reporters to finish the sentence like they're his students and he's the professor. Then suggesting that he somehow, miraculously got his team to overcome all those mistakes and still be in a position to win if they had only made the shot. He has certainly mastered the art of talking a lot without saying anything substantive or insightful.
