Nailed it. You'd have to be a fool to think Cal woke up today and his first thought was "how do I make this team better?" Lol.
There are are 50+ coaches out there in college that would've gotten so much more out of this team than Cal has this year. There are guys who live and breathe the game, who just obsess over the game and finding new ways and angles to be successful, who stay on top of what their peers and the elite professional leagues are doing. There are coaches who would kill for the opportunity to coach a group with the athleticism, skill, and potential our group has. Maybe Cal used to love the game like that, but that time has long since passed... now he doesn't love basketball, he only loves the lifestyle that basketball affords him. I'm sure there's nothing more he enjoys than going into an AAU event or some dinner and getting his ego stroked for three hours, or fraternizing with the famous and elite basketball circles and being a part of that club. That's the side of the game that keeps him going.
I just want a guy who is unhealthily obsessed with winning and who is genuinely pained by a loss. Because that ain't Cal and hasn't been him in a long time. And I'm tired of being in the perpetual purgatory of being just good enough to have hope, but obviously too flawed to win anything of significance. I would rather hit bottom and then pick up the pieces from there.
