Calipari with a jab at reed on draft night
- Thread starter BStockfan01
- Start date
This is the most ridiculous post ever. Give me a break.
I wasn’t a Cal supporter.
I’ve moved on, like when you break up with an Ex, you don’t keep talking and thinking about her every day, especially after you have a new woman/girlfriend.
Discussing the team he moved on to (since in our conference) is quite reasonable, as is how he is coaching that team.
But this obsession some have over him borders on stalkerish.
Did we tho?
We had a great offensive team capable of putting up points against anyone.
We had one of the worst defenses among all power conference teams.
That wasn't a title winning team.
Frankly we were lucky to be a 3 seed based on the numbers we've put in totality.
It must be exhausting spending all day trying to find something to be offended by.
Jay Burson. Yeah he was a toothpick.
In response to the OP, it might or might not have been a jab at Reed, I suspect it was probably unintentional, but given the fact that he's fired so many jabs at Reed in the past, I can see why people are a little sensitive about it.
It must be exhausting to run around yelling at all the Cal threads.
"Stalkerish?"
Oh FFS get over yourself already. You were a calboi 24/7. You can't revise history now. Knock off the fun police routine, it's boring.
I saw a week or two ago where the OP told killswitch24 that he used to post here as Ruppsrunt. Do you remember him/ her and did they used to post garbage? Killswitch24 said he knows him personally and someone chimed in and said that meant kill switch24 must be someone named Morgousky FWIW.
Benched 2 top 10 draft picks the whole season.....so glad he took his circus somewhere else
Triple C is the most ignorant, cocky, vindictive, underachieving POS born since the dinosaur era. But his comment about Reed wasn’t a jab at all. He says / does enough every day to prove his worthlessness but this comment is no big deal. Let’s move on to better times and forget about that scumbag.
We didn't have one of the worst defenses. We had a coach who had no desire to teach offense or defense, but the offense had someone teaching them (just wasn't Cal). And there was no one to hold the kids accountable. Cal was too busy cold-calling other schools.
Most everything I read from that person was, I felt, implicitly in support of Cal.
No. God could have come down from the heavens and coached this team and we still would have had a crappy defense.
I feel like coaches get wayyyy too much blame (and credit when things go well) here.
We had a bad defense cause we had poor defensive players.
If you think that team was coached well in defense especially is scheming for poor defensive players you’re nuts. One of the worst coached teams I’ve ever seen on the defensive side of the ball. If you don’t think a real coach who had more care couldn’t have had them playing better I have no idea what you think is going on but you’re dead wrong.
if you think that the coach who had teams:
2010: 6th best in def efficiency
2011: 16th
2012: 7th
2015: 1st
2017: 7th
2018: 22nd
2019: 8th
2024: 109th
The guy didn't suddenly forget how to coach defense. He just had bad defensive players. Period.
I see this with nearly every single sport I follow.
At some point, this all boils down to the players and the talent they have (or don't have).
That's all this is.
Every great coach has had great players.
It's just easier to blame one guy than an entire group and so people gravitate towards that.
Cal certainly had to go. He didn't perform to expectations towards the end of his time here, but no one was helping last years team.

No. We had a coach who placed priority of getting guys their exposure over the importance of holding guys accountable for their own defensive roles. He was too worried about calling certain guys out. He refused to play zone, refused to make them hold their damn hands up in the air and stop biting on every pump fake. Cal was too busy coddling certain guys, and looking for a job somewhere else, to be bothered with teaching and enforcing fundamentals. You can't defend what Cal was and wasn't doing.
Come on man, you are really reaching. Cal did a lot of shit to bash him for, but this ??? LOL, I get it, you hate Cal, but don't manufacture BS to do it.
You can say a lot things about Cal, but saying he didn't care for his players is NOT one of them. He went over and gave Rob a hug also. And no he didn't do it for attention, Cal doesn't need to steal anyone's spotlight, he was there for Reed and Rob. Simple as that.
This post is the dumbest of your multiple post in just THIS thread. The replacements was just as bad / worse on defense as the starters. Rob was THE worst. "refuse to make them hold their hands up " LOL, what was he suppose to do run out there and hold the whole 5 players hands up for them ? "stop biting on the pump fake" ? That is a reaction movement, not a taught one. Maybe he spent too much time making them one of if not THE most potent offenses in the country ? You have to take the good with the bad if you are pointing things out. I will let you in on a little secret, MOST great offensive players are not good defenders. Very few players are elite two way players, it is why 3&D guys are in most demand in the NBA, so few can do it. If Cal had a fault, it was he had too many offensive players and not enough good defenders balance it all out.
Total nonsense wow you are clueless when it comes to John Calipari but let me tell you who isn’t. His former bosses, our athletic director, boosters close to the program, NBA ownership (why he was never offered another NBA job.
I realize he turned you out he’s able to do that with some people. But don’t go around trying to convince others his salesmanship is anything more than for himself. John Calipari is universally hated in most of the places he’s been for a very good reason. No you don’t understand what all of these other people don’t. Calipari is, was, and always will be about John Calipari and his image and money. What more do you need to understand it? Literally every move the guy makes is a look at me play, including his charity work. The notion that Calipari is not a narcissist and is in this for other people is so insanely absurd that if I were you, personally, I’d keep that nonsense to myself. Nobody is going to buy what you’re selling and it makes you look foolish no offense.
