Well. First of all. Gohlke is nowhere near the player Curry is. Curry has elite handles, can get to the basket, and an elite passer. Gohlke is none of those.
Did anyone watch the WTVQ 36 sports Friday & saw what Jack Gohlke said?
- Thread starter TopCatCal
- Start date
So basically <insert a bunch of BS and a strawman argument>.
I said what defense do you switch to when a guy goes nuclear. You got from that
me defending Cal doing basic prep work, and defending this era? It’s always some made up BS from y’all because you’re ate up with hate and unable to have a real basketball conversation. This is why y’all cry about things that’s a credit to UK like having the most All Stars ever and the NBA draft. Y’all are such a joke you’re offended by that.
Just to be clear Cal has been awful since the Covid season and I fell about toxic hate filled fans the same way you guys feel about Cal. He’s been garbage and so has a portion of the fanbase.

LOL at even mentioning this clown in the same breath as one of the NBA's all time greats
Gohlke is a one trick pony on offense. He's not Steph Curry. He is a catch and shoot guy and isn't that quick. Cal should have tried trapping out of the second screen to make Gohlke give the ball up. It may have let to some easy lay ups by other players, but Gohlke wouldn't have been drilling threes all game. NC State tried this same tactic and was able to disrupt his rhythm a lot better than we did. Gohlke still made some shots on NC State, but they made him work for it.
Oakland's coach definitely watched a lot of film of what we struggled with on D and exploited us big time. Cal's teams have historically struggled with multiple screen sets and preventing the pick and roll. That's basically what we saw all game and never even tried to figure it out.

1-3-1 3-2 2-3 man to man straight up and switch everything box and 1 triangle and 2.
Mitchell didn't do anything until later in the game... We had a great opportunity to create a huge lead early in the game, but failed miserably due to our ineffective line-ups....
That's fine if he was starting at the 5 but Cal had him at the 4 with Ugo at the 5. A team like Oakland has no big men and no inside game and their only hope is to make a bunch of threes, which they did. Having Ugo in there was a terrible game plan because he didn't affect their shots because just about everything was outside and he offers nothing on offense.
The forst one s from 25 plus feet and one of his first shots. Tje next to where tje same shot inwhch he pump faked reeves. Almost all of his shots wee contested.
Are you mentally handicapped?

Eh I don’t really believe the part about wanting to trash talk Cal. Gohlke probably just trying to keep his name out there for the NIL.
I agree. Starting Mitchell made sense.
Plying UGO 23 minutes was a mistake.
Aike had a stat on Mitchell. Believe his last made 3pt shot was Jan 27th. Now he missed some games injured obviously, but that's who Cal wanted to get "back in the groove' and forced on the team. Meanwhile, Cal failed to realize Mitchell's best value to this team was as a stretch 5 small ball lineup. If he couldn't hit shots, what's the point of him on the court?
You ChASE HIS ASS. It’s called a box and chaser it has worked for years, might be called something else now.
Their coach boasted BEFORE THE GAME he liked their draw bc UK didn't have any bigs that could hurt them like most high seeded teams do. But that wasn't entirely true, because Mitchell proved early in the year he can play the 5, especially against teams that don't have a big post threat. And yet he played zero minutes at the 5, and instead we threw out or trio of 7 footers who their coach had no concern about guarding, and who don't make enough impact on defense to be worth their drag on offense. I feel certain with Mitchell at the 5 we score 90+ and win going away.
I've watched Steph play and, 6andahalf, Gohlke ain't no Steph.
He did hit some absolutely amazing shots though, granted, but down the stretch it was more Townsend who beat us I thought.
You keep the guy from getting the ball in the first place. Of course, that requires the defender to pretty much abandon every other aspect of the game, because playing that kind of intense defense every time down the floor is physically draining. Most players aren't really willing to make that kind of personal sacrifice of the rest of their game.
I agree- he was terrible early in the game- got the ball in the middle of their zone, wide open from 3-4 feet and didn't have a clue what to do
Good night, how ignorant these high level D1 hoops players? I knew how to play a box and 1 (every basic zone defense for that matter) by 8th grade ball. How do these kids come from elite programs and not know? Also, if Cal hasn’t taught them by March, then he sucks and should have his HOF status revoked
Perhaps learn what a straw man argument actually is before attempting to use it. EVERYTHING he stated was matter of fact and easily observable to anyone that is honest.
Tell Gohlke to take all that stuff to Fayetteville. Cal don't live here anymore!
Every coach and player across the Nation other than Arkansas knows about this weakness. He's shown it too many times he will not adjust, period. He just resorts to playing multiple bigs and yelling go. We couldn't hide you
Iv said that exact same thing. It's there for all to see if you open your eyes. That lack of effort and passion was coming directly from the top.
Those of us with eyes and ears that work agree with this. The second he stuck with Wagner breaking and non-shooting bigs clogging everything I knew it was over.
We want him gone because we can all see it but he can't even though he has 9 million dollars a year to buy glasses and care. Yet here we are as fans seeing more than he does and caring more than he does. So bye CCC
At 50 years old 5'7 and 200 lb I still train and lumberjack often I guarantee you I could have hip checked that mother ****er and gave him more problems than anybody on the team did. Holy f what a puss effort, reflection of CCC. I played ball, and the only way to stop a shooter like that is to take their legs out, and hip check them, mercilessly with your strongest player that's why I always loved powerlifting. It's fun punkin guys a foot taller than you!! Kids don't have that drive anymore. If you plant your feet and squat correctly and use the right angles you can make people fall down.
Its EXACTLY what was done to Caitlyn Clark ... didn't stop her, but slowed her down a lot...
I never saw a box and 1 on him. We had guys chasing him but they didn't get close enough to affect his shot.
It was pathetic.
Ugo was just as bad. He was good at blocking your shot if you went straight up but if you pump faked him, he bit every time and was too slow to recover. Bucket every time.
He also cheated off his man to go for blocks he had no chance of getting and gave up easy weakside rebounds/putbacks at least as often as he blocked a shot.
Drove me crazy
CCall
Calling a spade a spade hahaha got him🎯
I pick on Cal alot but there is something to this in this particular case. The guy was forcing up contested shots all over the place and knocking them down, wasnt left too open much. What Id have done to slow that is to go at him on the other end and attack him off the dribble and make him grind and play defense. That alwasy slows an offensive guy down cause it fatigues him and sometimes get them in foul trouble.
