it’s called True Kentucky Basketball BBN Fans- No Cal Bashing or Haters.
Here’s a sample post from one of its members:
“I typed this out as a reply to a Cal hater discussing why anyone cares about the NBA and why Cal doesn't focus on "having Great College Players"
What is the purpose of college Coach Professor or a Teacher who is teaching kids the ages of UK basketball players?
Let's look at that a little. A Fan thinks a coach is only supposed WIN EVERY GAME SO THEYCAN BE HAPPY AS A FAN.
I look at it differently. Let's look at Cal as a highly paid Professor at UK (A Coach/Teacher of the game) His goal/job is to teach kids and get them to be successful in college, teach them skill they don't have or still learning and hopefully make it into their career of choice...all the while trying to win basketball games to keep the FAN happy.
If their first job is the NBA, great, he is preparing them for that. If it is in accounting, great. A doctor, great!
His job is to teach his kids/students how to be a part of a team (workforce) and fill a role (prominent or not). His job is teaching a person who only "practices" and doesn't get the "publicity" (like and accountant in back room of a successful business) to fill that role and do their part to help the company. His job is to teach kids how to look at adversity and how to power through it towards success.
To me, a loss is like a kid "failing a chemistry test" except fans call it "he can't coach" but not telling the Chem Professor she "can't teach" or he is wasting a kids learning ability . A win, but against a bad team is a student getting a D and barely passing a test...but one could say the professor "didn't teach it right" or used the right book to teach it and almost made the student fail.
Why is Cal expected to do anything different than a professor of a university? Should a professor be fired or expected to make sure all his students pass with straight A's (no losses in a season)? If a Student on Scholarship leaves UK and move to say...University of Alabama to finish their studies, should UK start firing professors who allowed a student to do bad a semester and chooses another path or returns closer to home or family?
I think this is where many unhappy Cal fans need to check their happiness and understand his job is more focused on the kids as opposed to their happiness. Lengthy...but feel free to share and maybe someone who has a kid in sports one day being TAUGHT by a COACH... will understand sports are about WAY MORE than winning/losing.”
