And a game plan for the type of team you will be playing next. Every coach in the country knows exactly what Cal will do, the type of defense, zero offense, so they plan around our weakness. And when you start losing to mid majors, there is a problem.
It always is around here. It is always next years class is loaded, then they look just like last years team. I stopped thinking about next years class 4 years ago, because, it is wash, rinse and repeat.
No one, especially me, disputes this. But something has changed since 2015 with our program. Would it hurt our coach to try something different, not be so predictable, develop some sort of offense, and defense, other than the switching and getting out of position?
delusional a final four is a major accomplishment
Only way it would be asinine is if we had actually won a title in the last 5-7 years. Hell we haven’t even made a final four in 5 years.
I think it’s unfair to have Auburn on the list. Had any of the referees known the rules at the end their game with Virginia they probably would have won the national championship. Kansas State and Evansville I’ll give you.
Don’t act like we haven’t been incredibly close to 2 in the last 3 years either. If we had beaten auburn last year you think that affects reality that much?
Sad to say, but I think you may be correct. I'm optimistic about next season. But anyone who isn't concerned by our last few seasons, well, I don't know what to tell you.
It needs to be brutal. Because another brutal loss puts real pressure on Cal. By no means do I hope we lose, but if we’re f
That’s right. Everything has an end. And this is the beginning of the end for Cal. A good salesmen knows whether or not people are going to buy the product, and Cal is a good salesmen. He knows that his product isn’t good, and that more and more people are recognizing it. He uses social media and makes one sales pitch after another. He talks about tweaks and how he likes his team, but in spite of this, more and more of us just aren’t buying it.
No, he certainly cant suit up. But he gets paid $10 mil a year to recruit and coach up the guys who can.
Very true. Remember preseason when Cal was saying this is a great 3 point shooting team. Maybe his best ever. And what are we 326th in all of college basketball.
Lol you people are insane. Who should we replace cal with?
No, it is though looking through the thread it probably would've been better for someone else. All of you being critical of Cal should look around college basketball this season and see that nobody is that great. This entire thread is just ridiculous, college basketball teams lose, great programs have down years. This could be a down year for uk. We still have one of the best coaches in the country.
Actually we sucked the two year before Cal and wasn’t much better the 5 years before that.
This gets so tiring. EVERY fan feels like their program "should have been". Should and Could do not matter in the end. What matters is that we DIDN'T.
I think it's the fact that we've had several "down years". That makes a pattern. I think that's what has some of us concerned. I'm hoping Cal has a fantastic year, next year. A return to pre-2016 success. Cause it ain't happening this season.
Of course results matter and obviously we want to win. My point is that a close loss in an elite 8 is an indistinguishable margin from a final four when you’re using final fours as your baseline of success. What you’re saying is that the talent and coaching have gotten so bad that we aren’t a final four contender when just last year we were by any standard of evaluation.
Cal haters will ignore this great post and call you a sunshine pumper for being a rational fan lol
I'm not for replacing Cal, I just want him to fix the offense. That being said, the notion that he can't be replaced is laughable. With the money, resources, and stature of our program, he is very replaceable.
