The record speaks for itself but his “coaching” today is a perfect example of how he’s underachieved with all his talent in 11 years.
Last 3 possessions he calls timeouts where we run plays for shots from Boston, a prayer from Askew and Sarr. Plus Jackson took the shot prior to this. Look at who the hell he’s drawing the shots up for. The ones who have shot horribly all year or haven’t even scored in 2 games. Yet we have a guy who has 19 with numerous 3’s who NEVER even touched the ball on any of those possessions.
Screw CAL. HES GOT TO GO!
Sure. He could not try to recruit great players and fill the team with middling players we know don't have a shot at a run. He could miss the tourney for a couple years in a row. He could do other things as well but it would depend on the circumstances and situations. The only problem this team has is we didn't get Cade. If we had Cade and everyone thought we did for a while, this team looks waaaaay different. The problem isn't BJ, or Clarke, or Fletcher or Sarr. The problem is, everyone looks bad without a serviceable point guard and we don't have one.
No they don't. This team isn't developing any later than usual. Surely you realize Covid delayed their start? You should also realize all the bunnies were cancelled and this team had to start playing tough comp. right out of the gate. Couple that with Sarr being a little softer than expected, no point guard, and Boston/Clarke not being generational talents (just really good freshmen). You have the recipe for this, it's not mind boggling.Damn dude. It’s almost like you don’t watch the games. Clarke and Boston are overrated. Sarr hasn't scored two games. Nobody can guard the ball. Nobody not named Mintz can make an open jumper. This team actually looks like Cal rolled the balls out in practice. We are a month in and they have gotten worse, not better. The problems for this bunch run much deeper than a “serviceable point guard”.
My answer to them is always "2013."The “wait till March!” crew will transition to accepting this is a terrible season, but now will just change it to “he’s entitled to one bad season!”
Wait for it.
Sorry (Bro) I've forgotten more about basketball than you'll ever know. K Spanky?I say this with the modicum of respect you deserve; when you watch basketball you don’t actually know what you are watching. You just cheer, and that’s ok. Just leave the real basketball talk to folks who know what they’re watching, K Sparky?
Holy shit. When I see you say this bro, I know I'm not crazy! Wow!Mintz and Toppin should have had plays drawn up for them but nooooooooo....
Im ready for Cal to go too.

Ok, then don't, I do.I wouldn't call Boston/Clarke "really good freshman".

I'll give you that. It's early, they will be. Boston played much better today. Sure he can't hit a bull in the ass right now but he played better defense and didn't jack up shot after shot, he's learning his role. Clarke was hobbled by a rolled ankle and Cal even said he shouldn't of been playing in the first place. Most freshmen in the country don't even get clock this early in the year. These freshmen are fine. They were just thrown straight into the fire without even a warmup. I'm ok with them and their development. They ain't AD, Zion or Melo but they'll be alright.not sure you can say B & C are really good freshmen at this stage. Struggling freshman, yes but not really good. They both have had games of putting up points but are given every opportunity to do so. BJ is now shooting less than 15% from 3. Only baskets he made today were putbacks and a layup. Clarke didn’t score nor even come close.
Sorry (Bro) I've forgotten more about basketball than you'll ever know. K Spanky?
I think it's this. Go! Go! Go! Go!. Followed by "What the f--- are you doing". Is that close?Ok. Let’s test that theory. Explain Cal’s zone offense, first against a 2-3, then 1-3-1.

ok Coach Kahsysaywhawwlquw=skiThat’s what I thought there Naismith.
Ok, then don't, I do.

“As a unit”. 😂. “Fighting”. Repeat all the buzz words bro.
Its bad. We have literally NO base offense we work out of. Almost any team you watch has a basic continuity they work from and have different calls off of that set. We literally do not have it. We have a jumbled mess of pin downs, horns sets and pick and roll and it’s absolutely awful. Anyone that really knows the game can see the lack of coaching here. I have coached many teams (though not at the college level) and it is very evident. I do not claim to be a better coach or know more than Cal, but it is painfully obvious if you know what you are looking at
GrossYou do not draw up plays with just one option. I do not know who was first option in the first drawn up play but the shot by Sarr was not a bad shot. He simply missed the same shot he missed against Notre Dame. The shot choices when you go full court with 5 seconds is down to who was open. I would like to go back and watch to see if Mintz was defensively taken out either play. I will always be a UK fan and I still support Cal.
Well, they were. You might not have noticed through all the hate.
Baller Cal and his burner account! Hahahaha I always knew that was you Baller.Sorry (Bro) I've forgotten more about basketball than you'll ever know. K Spanky?
Nothing personal, but if the best shooter on the team cannot make ONE basket in TWO games ... then it is worse than i thought!!We'd rather see you go. Sarr had a great shot and maybe the best shooter on the team. It just didn't fall. Cal done a fine job today, he can't make shots for them.
You could have bought a ticket on the Titanic the last time we were this bad to start a season.must have been like being on the titanic and assuming everything was ok I’m guessing
In his defense, he's taken only 4 shots the last two games COMBINED.Nothing personal, but if the best shooter on the team cannot make ONE basket in TWO games ... then it is worse than i thought!!
Again, nothing personal, but did covid only impact UK?No they don't. This team isn't developing any later than usual. Surely you realize Covid delayed their start?

Ok. Our best shooter only gets 2 shots a game? Who's calling plays, make-a-wish?In his defense, he's taken only 4 shots the last two games COMBINED.
You nailed it. I don't know of another team that had a whole new team and made of all freshmen and transfers. So, it would impact UK much more drastically. Of course, Cal is going to send players to get paid if he can. Cal didn't make their decisions for them, in fact, he told some they should come back, they didn't. The thing with Cal that makes me mad is Allen, I just don't get it.Again, nothing personal, but did covid only impact UK?
And for those that respond with we are so young, well who encourages players to bolt before they are ready? That dude making 10 million. This is ALL on him and his BS ego.
I respect your opinions and not upset at you at all. According to Cal the game plan was to go inside to Sarr today but he has to do his part. He's not fighting for position, not boxing out, not being aggressive, not doing anything. That part is not on Cal. I could put my pop's in the middle and run plays for him but at some point he has to have some ability and toughness to get his shot off and didn't have that today. He's soft as Charmin. Maybe even Skal 2.0Ok. Our best shooter only gets 2 shots a game? Who's calling plays, make-a-wish?
And boston plays nearly 40 min? Who makes those decisions?
My beef isnt with you (i really meant "nothing personal"), it is with Cal. Besides, he said be mad at him ... ok. I am. What he has done this year to the fans and with the product on the floor has to end. He has earned this negative feedback.
Edit: in years gone by, id be really upset. It may sound like im upset in my post, but im not really that upset. I am ready to move on. His shtick has gotten old.
Thx, likewise. (I wanted to emphasize that bc intent is hard to read into.)I respect your opinions and not upset at you at all.

That's true. Cal def. warrants a lot of the blame.Thx, likewise. (I wanted to emphasize that bc intent is hard to read into.)
I forgot about Allen. I would understand if he was upset and left. Doesnt seem like he is given a chance.
If Cal doesnt know what he has in Sarr yet, then that reflects on him as a head coach. Bottom line: This is not "10m" results.
Ah, hims mad.Clearly you don't even understand basic situations, let alone anything about basketball. Maybe you should take up knitting or crocheting.
There's the ubiquitous laugh. You'll tell us chief.Ah, hims mad.
So you watched that game and thought they “played as a unit”? Was it the six assists offensively that convinced you? Or the lack of rotation and team D on the other end? Clueless
