Cal mailed it in several years ago. His teams do not get better throughout the season. He does very little coaching and hopes his high level recruiting will end up with a decent W-L record year in and year out.
That’s exactly what he’s done.
1. Get decent recruits, even if raw and unskilled. Take what you can get at the top.(it’s why there’s never a cohesiveness to his rosters. It’s just slapped together with what he could get in the top 25.
2. Throw them out there and try and get them a draft pick.
3. Try and win enough games with them to stay respectable
4. Pray like hell for an outside shot at a title, but don’t expect it, and make sure fans don’t either. Lower expectations.
5. Put very little in to the job but pretend you are by bringing in top recruits through your “NBA player factory”.
6. Hang around long enough to burn UK for around 100 million.
This is all that guy has done it’s clear as day if people just open their eyes. He doesn’t spend much time on his job that’s why his teams look like sht most years but have the talent to be respectable. It’s why you don’t see advanced coaching decisions, his players aren’t prepared to even do it if he tried.
Tweeting, pool parties, foriegn trips, philanthropy to cover himself. Calipari is just buying time and it’s a shame this program has allowed him to continue at this pace.
Fox - “Cal doesn’t give a shit about winning basketball games”.
It appears many skipped over this. What an incredible statement by a former D1 college player about his former coach.
