Cal is miserable lol. Pissed too. Watch post game

[NociHTTP]

He's going to be really pissed in his post-game interview on February 1st. As my husband likes to say, Pope will take the mickey out of Cal.

This is why I don't feel right ragging on him. He really doesn't look well and it's kinda sad. Though I got tired of his bad coaching, through it all he always took ownership of losses and he did a lot of stuff for people. I know he has his character flaws as well but we don't know what struggles people are facing in their personal lives.

If throwing players under the but is “taking ownership “ , then I agree. He would always say “it’s on me “ then spend 10 minutes trashing the players and blaming other things then finish with “ don’t blame them blame me “

Cal never talks strategy or breaks down the game analytically.

There's no point in him even having a press conference. He just says the same old tired lines over and over.

Probably the best summary ive seen of that situation

The contrast between AR and UK is just mind blowing right now

Not sure I have ever seen a similar situation / circumstances in college basketball before -- maybe not in ALL of college sports?

That game is going to obviously be nuts

Most curious how the coaches interact

Assuming they do

Depends on which team wins the game.

Classic case of someone who was legitimately great at what they do, having time pass them by, and they refuse to admit it because all of that success went to their head and created a toxic narcissist.

He will never be able to admit it to himself, either. Not even after Arkansas fires him and he’s not able to find another job. It will always be someone else’s fault. They don’t understand the game, not patient enough to understand his process, etc. He may get an ESPN or CBS gig, but even that is doubtful because he’s always gotta talk over everyone.

And also because he can’t verbalize complete coherent thoughts.

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

Have to seriously question if he is showing signs of dementia.

 

[MachineHead1]

“So, Cal, what did you think about his decision to go zone there?”

“Well I don’t know because I haven’t seen seen him and I haven’t practiced it, but let me say this…”

Naw he knows exactly what he’s doing. It’s hard to disprove someone’s bullshit excuse when they’ve fed you 5 of them before you’ve had a chance to respond to the first one.

They could always zoom in on an issue, within the discussion. He'd likely end the interview, though. The media wants the discussion to continue above all else. Part and parcel.

You had 3 of the top 10 guards in college basketball.

Reeves had one of the best seasons in Kentucky history from a statistical standpoint.

2 top 5 picks.

That team was a Final 4 team when playing the way they should have played. But playing Cals preferred lineups with an oversized/under skilled small forward instead of 3 guards together….combined with preferring tk give Wagner 30 minutes…. We rarely had the 3 biggest weapons on the floor together simultaneously.

He also sat our best guards on the bench for the first 5-10 minutes of every half.

 

[sambowieshin]

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.

I actually feel kinda sorry for him.
An old man that just doesn't know yet it's time to retire. He should be doing halftime shows with Greenberg.
UK took his car keys away but Arky gave em back.

He gave up the keys to a Lamborghini and traded them for a set of keys to a Prius.
