What he said (wrote) to BBN and certainly during his last show. Out recruiting my ass. With commercials, he was on the air for about 20 minutes of a 60-minute show...so much for considering how people feel. Not being a "stand up guy" pretty much typifies how he looks upon us as a fan base.
After so many seasons, he doesn't get it, whether it's in-game coaching decisions or with his overall program management. He isn't going to change. The explanations for not using his timeouts to coach his kids in their moment of dire need is pure Calipari...egotistical, arrogant, and disrespectful to BBN. Lots are sick of this, me included. The Shaedon Sharpe situation is of course up in the air, just like we all knew would happen, and of course he's taking heat nationally from the press on that and other issues. Having this kind of breakdown in so many aspects of the program, and not just in this very winnable game, is infuriating. Can't wait for more gut punches in the form of departures. You haven't seen Armageddon yet, but you can bet it's coming, then, even like this year, once again, he'll patch together some kind of team, mostly new players who have never played with each other, and we'll start the year with a loss to someone in the classic game.
I've had it with him and this ridiculous strategy that, in no way, is going to be able to keep us anywhere near the standard of performance and success. We should have known in the beginning--we couldn't hardly put away Miles College for God's sake--and all the "red flags" during the season, that this whole season would fall apart due largely to his "house of cards" philosophy and strategy.
We're definitely NOT built for sustained high level of success--Barnhart is kidding himself. Calipari has become a runaway train tracking due south. We have seen evidence of that for a number of years due to this flawed grand "players first" strategy. This is also why you never, ever cast your lot with one person. There are too many good, honest, hard-working coaches out there who would crawl on hot embers to come to Lexington. Calipari has done some great things, but it's time to part ways and get someone who puts this program where it needs to be--absolutely Kentucky first, foremost, and forever. History has taught us, so we need to pay attention: put the program first, and the players will achieve their dreams.
