"Got up 12 on AU in 2nd half and they just kept bombing away....and making them."

Thats what he should have said.

Hell some of those 3s were 25 feet out....one was banked in with a hand in the face and at least a few beat the shot clock.

Im so damn tired of piss poor luck.

--Caller: Can Willis play pick and roll and take ball to the basket? Cuz he can make FT's....TU is like Pete Rose

Cal: So proud of Derek...only one who fought for balls..other guys need to fight for your lives...desperation...Derek doesn't make great decisions driving the ball....Derek just needs to do what he does best and driving the ball isn't it

--Can't have 2 guys no-show...we dont talk on switches...trying to take hero shots that doesnt go in

--Every guy has to prepare to play great and do your job...I'm killing my opponent..FIGHT!

--It's really hard to go hard every day like TU does.....guys dont want that responsibility

--Which guys can we count on?

--We can go to Ark and play well and still lose.....We can't be fake about building up guys

--So happy and proud of Willis...Now is his time

--Scrimmaging tonite...keeping stats....TU trying to get everybody to play the way he plays

--Every guy can get 25-30 but you gotta wanna
 
Caller: Commend you for sending 21 guys to NBA and ties MLK into it....What is the reason Skal isn't 'tough'...define tough

Cal: Tough is not always physical tough...fight in bball means you fight for position, fight defensively....Skal doesn't have the experience but it's building

--I played Marcus Camby about 20 minutes a game his frosh year so he wouldnt lose confidence....Skal might have same path

--We've had guys be the first college graduate in their family history...Daughter Erin is a doctor...I keep it real...I make them realize what it takes and how tough it is...Have had more #1 picks than anybody else

--I gotta teach what servant leadership is...It's about your teammate, not you

--It's tough at UK...under a microscope...every single day a tough task

Caller: Best man defenders watch their man but our guys watch the ball

Cal: When someone is on the ball he should be able to have someone talking to him about what's coming...since we don't talk well, that's why the guy looks like his head is on a swivel

--Guys gotta fight...tired of one-handed rebounds...Biggest thing for me is to FIGHT....I shouldn't have to beg for that

--I like my team...but they gotta fight especially guys who aren't used to being the man now have to be the guy

--You must change certain things...are you willing? I'm here to help YOU

--They are responsible..I can't do it for them

Cal: Wenyen Gabriel should be in the Jordan game...Talking about Brad playing the other nite...

--Brad got voted the MVP...told him his body language on the court is terrible...you gotta grow up

--If you lose confidence because of what I say, then you never had any confidence in the first place

--Got to see Wenyen play and got to see 3-4 juniors at the same time

Twitter question: Why did you foul with 43 seconds?

Cal: We fouled a 50% foul shooter and of course he makes them both

Caller: I have MS but its in remission and the games are the best therapy I can have...How's Hawkins

Cal: We have 4 million coaches in the state....Hawkins cannot scrimmage tonite

--High ankle sprains cannot be rushed...Hawkins will defend and rebound...that's why we miss him

Twitter: How do you get great character kids?

Cal: You come to UK you're not gonna be THE guy...you have to share...I tell every family and kid that you can't chase, smoke, drink, or club at UK...They'll do a 30-30 episode on you! LOL!

--You gotta want everything UK entails...the spotlight, the work, the preparation...you are an ambassador for the state of KY

--It's a great blessing and you need to look at it like that

Good stuff. Hope Hawkins gets back sooner than later.
 
Excellent, thanks for the posts keeping us updated on what he said. Couldn't get to hear it tonight myself so very appreciative.
 
Would love to see this unit for six to eight straight minutes:

Poythress
Willis
Murray
Hawkins (or Mulder)
Ulis

Space out the opponent and let it fly.
 
I really appreciate the quality of kids Cal brings in. We win and do so with good kids. We are very blessed in that regard.

Let it fly with who? Hawkins can't shoot, mulder has proven nothing, for every shot Willis throws up he lets one in and Murray well he takes more than 8 min to get going. It doesn't make any sense
 
Did you? I hope you and some of your buddies on here got through and challenged Cal to a basketball knowledge debate. I'd sell tickets to that event and make a killing.

Sure, Auburn made a boatload of threes, but it's a red herring.

If we could put the ball in the hoop, those threes would have been only relevant to those who bet on the game.
