Yep. Interesting how most would view Cal’s tenure at UK as far superior to Coach Hall. Not the case at all.

 

[dlh331]

You need to total the final 4s + elite 8 losses = total elite 8s

Cal has 7 elite 8s
Joe B had 6 elite 8s

Cal has 2 NIT appearances at UK?

 

[YardCat]

1 losing season, would have never thought I would have to type that about UK Basketball

 

[fisherscatfan]

Cal has 2 NIT appearances at UK?

OP gave him too much credit. Should have 1 season not tournament eligible.

 

[UKWildcats1987]

Calipari has the overall edge. No matter what the op wants to say.

 

[FishersBlue]

Calipari has the overall edge. No matter what the op wants to say.

Sure. But a lot closer than a lot of the Cal sycophants would admit.

Another missed tourney this year and it’s a wash. If not an edge to Hall.

 

[drew_ukfan]

Yeah but how many times has Cal won draft night?

 

[UKWildcats1987]

4 final fours to 3 does it for me. I don't think any logical person thinks uk is missing the ncaa tourney this year either.

1. Rupp 2 cal 3 pitino 4 hall 5 Smith for me. Pitino would be 2 if he had stayed probably but thats on him.

 

[Ripcord65]

That's a good one, Drew ! A very good one ! ! !

 

[mdlUK.1]

Lol. Both great coaches at UK and both had/have a vocal minority that refuse to give them any credit and wanted/want them gone. Smh

I’ll never believe that’s going to happen until we’re in a position like last season. when we were 1-3…given the nature of the losses and teams we lost to i was kind of like “wow, this teams not even going to make the tourney”.

So before any games are played i never believe it’s possible.

There were people on here though, a lot of them, that even when we were 1-4,5,6 that STILL would have called you an idiot or a nut if you suggested we weren’t going to make it.

You forgot to put in 2 national Champions games for Coach #1. And 1 National Championship game for coach #2. Coach #1 also had 7 elite 8’s I believe

 

[HagginHall1999]

Rooting for that? What a bizarre comment.

And you forgot 1975, apparently.

My only thought is how lucky we are to have both coaches.

The NIT was a title....back when that tourney counted.

Apparently only Cal can have losing seasons and miss tournaments at UK. The idolatry is comical and sad. He’s Teflon.

Not sure who or what you are referring to. Your thread compared and contrasted two of our program's best coaches.

You then made a silly comment that had no relevance whatsoever. Most UK fan's truly appreciate both Hall and Cal, as they should.

It is pretty much clear Rupp, Pitino, Cal and Hall are the 4 best coaches in program history...probably in that order so basically you are comparing greatness to greatness...that is great.

 

[SemperFiCat]

If we're splitting hairs, I think Hall should get some kind of credit for having to follow a legend. That usually doesn't end well, but Hall pulled it off.

 

[jmw23712]

Yep. Interesting how most would view Cal’s tenure at UK as far superior to Coach Hall. Not the case at all.

Overall Cal’s tenure is being viewed as so successful because of his first 6 seasons. From 09-15 Cal was borderline dominant in college basketball in spite of some missed titles. I think that’s the reason most people give Cal the edge. Even though he’s been fairly average since then.

Agreed, at the same it isn't that easy to take over a dumpster fire and make a program relevant again in 6 months.

I agree with this. The games we won in the tournament the first half of Cals tenure we lost in the 2nd half. The UNC and Auburn losses sting badly.

 

[arenk]

It would have made Rupp roll over in his grave, just like the rest of us.

You’re not suggesting he’s the Teflon turd? That name is reserved for Smith. Come up with another name for Calipari.

 

[Cawood86]

The thing that gets me is Cal is still talking and acting like he did between 09-15. But it's just talk.
