Cal press conference last night

[Fox2monk]

A few of the smart ones have caught on early for what a fraud he is. This reporter looks like he may be one of them. Expect his credentials to get pulled and exiled from the program for dare questioning his Lordship. He expects everyone to touch the hem of his garment like he's a prophet. Most of them think it is cute at first until the losses quickly mount up.

He’s catching on quick.

Well you didn't read between the lines. This is what happened last year at UK. His Dad is a nutjob.

I’m sure coaches deal with this quite a bit now. I don’t know his dad so I can’t speak on that but I’ll take your word for it.

I know, I about passed out when he said massage the ball. I’m like what??? You are playing Troy who can’t score, they literally can’t even hold onto the ball and you don’t want to up the pressure, you want to massage the ball!!!

That and the "wait to score at the horn and watch the other team's shoulders slump". Well what if you keep missing and they keep scoring? You know kind of like Mississippi State on the road last year? Or Kansas in the Champions Classic or......just insert nonsense approach for far too long. Or that game that killed their spirit--UGA at home on pace for about 150 and he takes air out and they are fighting to get the win.

It's insane to approach games like this. No other top program does this. They all will dribble it out with about 20 secs left with their reserves but they let them play as they should. He doesn't even want his starters playing for God's sake.

Remember the "injuries" and back spasms that held him out but he'd be up jumping up and down on the bench. That's total BS and happens far too much with Cal lately.

Ah man that really makes me upset then, I didn’t think Adou would pull that kind of stuff. If he does that now they better pony up because he controls that team. Maybe that is why Cal is talking him up so much in press conferences.

That UGA game was sickening and really showed that we couldn’t guard a fence post.

 

[bigblueinsanity]

Pretty insane how much losing robic exposed him. He really was a fraud all along.

 

[Wonky]

Those Arkansas reporters have no idea what is going on. They don’t know whether to laugh or… there’s just awkward silence.

 

[NociHTTP]

I respectfully disagree. 2016 was competitive even without a center. 2017 was amazing but got Higginsed. THAT game broke Cal. Let's be honest, it broke a lot of us. We got hosed.

Lol. Cal was broke before that 2015 game. He couldn't coach then, not even with a team that he platooned most of the season. They won a lot that season, in spite of Cal, but in the end he had promises to the twins that he had to keep. Cal died after that championship when he said that he was happy that he got it out of the way.

 

[yoshukai]

That's the only question I have. I wonder how the 5 stars will play under Pope? What I mean is most not all but most 5 stars wanna play ME ball not team ball.
I do believe Pope will recruit the 5 stars that he believes are as much about the team as they are about themselves.

The fact remains that no final four team in recent history has had 3 freshman playing major minutes . It’s gonna be interesting.

Agreed! It's pretty obvious he was the brains behind things. From watching game film to player development to game planning and strategy. UK really fell off after he left.

 

[bnewt]

He was stunned by having to leave UK. He tried to bully and his bluff got called.

He's a cartoon character now. Not even remotely credible.

I think he feels too safe and too untouchable. There was some of that here but now I'd say it's bad.

Should've left for UCLA. Should have let him leave for UCLA but I don't blame Mitch for not. But I do blame him for a lifetime deal that about took us down.

His arrogance has caught up to him as well as his condescending double talk
