I agree, but Finebaum is the biggest voice for the SEC. It just adds a megaphone to this circus. Non UK fans won't even read about this story, but when they keep seeing headlines like this, they'll believe there is a circus and bad blood at UK. Optics and perception often outweight reality and compound a bad situation.BS. Finebaum doesn’t know dick about roundball. He’s making himself look silly.
I see Toppin at the 3, Collins at the 4, and Oscar at the 5. our PG can’t shoot. Wheres the change?BS. Finebaum doesn’t know dick about roundball. He’s making himself look silly.
I’ve been critical of Cal the last several years, but we have a monster of a team this season and it’s because Cal has made ALL the right changes he needed to make. He’s proven he is still the right man for the job.
Now if he blows it with this squad I might agree it’s time for him to go. But he’s done something Tubby didn’t do — change when it became apparent he had to.
That's the lane I'm currently in. MAYBE see about next year. The money becomes less of an issue. IMO, the bigger issue is, who the heck is out there to replace him?If Cal fails this year once again, he needs to go

That's very true, I agree. But, I can't speak for everyone, but I'd like to see a coach that puts Kentucky winning ball games and titles as his clear #1 priority. Everything since St Pete looks to be pointed in the right direction though. We'll see.There is no coach out there right now that is a better fit than Calipari. It seems like the people saying he should go does not understand the daily tasks that the head coach does at UK. You can’t just go find a great X and O coach that does not have people skills and knows what basketball means to Kentuckians.
He casually threw Billy Donovan's name out there. With no expounding. Showing both how clueless he is about it not being an option and knowing it's a name UK fans would respond to.Didn't get a chance to listen... but did he name any other candidates he feels are better options? Or, did he just say Cal isn't the best option, and leave it at that?

I don't think we will ever see Billy Donovan back in CBB. From what i have read he does not like to recruit.He casually threw Billy Donovan's name out there. With no expounding. Showing both how clueless he is about it not being an option and knowing it's a name UK fans would respond to.
This again? How many times have fans said that?If Cal fails this year once again, he needs to go
He doesn't know anything about basketball, and he doesn't care to.BS. Finebaum doesn’t know dick about roundball. He’s making himself look silly.

100% agreeBS. Finebaum doesn’t know dick about roundball. He’s making himself look silly.

I agree 100% about perception being reality. That said, Cal’s statement doesn’t hurt UK basketball recruiting in the least. It POTENTIALLY could have a negative effect on UK football recruiting, but you know what? The fact that UK is traditionally more of a basketball school has never hurt Stoops and Marrow’s recruiting before. And make no mistake, it is a FACT. Just because nobody came out and said it doesn’t mean recruits haven’t been aware of it all this time.
And if football wants to prove Cal wrong, then take this shit to the next level this year.
That's what sports media do nowadays.And media (& irrational overly sensitive fans) have made this a bigger story than it really was, a coach trying to get more for his sport at the school.
Once again, Tennessee has 1 little bitty National Championship since the beginning of Time where it matters most, JUST ONE, who cares what anyone says that comes from there!!
Load those Happy Meals
You need em Floppy!!
Our Teams are Loaded!!
Go Cat!!!
What equals failure this year? Now is the time to answer before the season starts. Be objective as possible
Let's talk about the development of each one of those players, first and foremost. Going to say Cal doesn't get credit for that, as the head coach? Also, that's just one of the several lineups we saw out there in exhibition games that are meant to tinker with different lineup combinations.I see Toppin at the 3, Collins at the 4, and Oscar at the 5. our PG can’t shoot. Wheres the change?
Agree with this. Way overblown and I have been laughing at the notion of this hurting our FB recruiting moving forward as if our basketball teams history has been some secret that was just let out of the bag.I agree 100% about perception being reality.

He will have the #1 recruiting class coming in next year.This again? How many times have fans said that?
I'm sure after Calipari chokes again in the post season we will see posts saying..."Now, if if he fails NEXT YEAR...".
One definition of insanity is to continue to repeat the same actions hoping for a different outcome.
What if 'Third Base' Stoops doesn't win 10, is he going too?If Cal fails this year once again, he needs to go
I don't disagree with any of this. But, as I've said before, the point is it was a stupid thing to say publicly. It was a juvenile way to try to get what he wants. It did nothing positive. And only looks petty and weak. ZERO reason to do that to a fellow coach. And look what's happened. One dumb@ass comment has been blown out of proportion and making headlines. The cherry on top, is Cal is so much of an egomaniac, he can't even offer a passable authentic apology.I agree 100% about perception being reality.

Stop itWhat if 'Third Base' Stoops doesn't win 10, is he going too?

I think you nailed him right there. I won't even comment on the merits of what he said. I'll just say this: he's clearly after hits, viewers, and calls, and he knows UK fans represent a LOT of those, since we're such a significant presence on the web, social media, and have so many who love to call in to shows like this and run their mouths. He also knows the UK and Calipari haters represent a lot of viewers, calls, and hits. So, the combination of stirring up UK fans and UK haters makes for a great day in his line of work.He casually threw Billy Donovan's name out there. With no expounding. Showing both how clueless he is about it not being an option and knowing it's a name UK fans would respond to.
yes he isHe is not wrong.
