They need a punch in the mouth. We lost this game because of a missed FT by RD and Mitchell's inability to make any kind of shot aside from a couple in the lane. He missed probably 5 or 6 wide open 3s and Ugo, while he really played really well overall, doesn't understand how to finish at the rim. I really don't think Cal told him not to dunk from within 3 feet of the rim. These things and some bad TOs by Reed added on, cost us the game. It also doesn't help when the opposing team has a guard that was 8 for 9 from 3.
If anyone says 'this one's on Cal...
- Thread starter arenk
- Start date
Outcoached in OT - Cal's adjustment was what?
I would add Reed's constantly giving up 3's didn't help.
Or, ya know…and this is just a wild and crazy thought…they shouldn’t be in position to lose to a far inferior team at home. His fat a$$ does less with more than any coach in history.
I would rather get punched in the mouth than watch Cal's defense
If anyone says this ones NOT on Cal, they need to rewatch the game
WHY did Cal continue to ALLOW Mitchell and Dillingham to JACK UP bad shots????!!!!
WHY did Cal continue to play Reed on the Headband kid that was making EVERYTHING???!!!!
WHY did Cal NOT foul with a 3 pt lead before UF made a 3???!!!!!
This one is MOST DEFINITELY "On Cal!!!!!!"

Sorry, Cal recruited them. This one is on Cal.
Anyone that doesn't think this is on Cal needs to be punched in mouth.

Here is why it is at least partly on Cal….
1. Up two with 12 seconds, he has Shep inbounds the ball to Dilly. Should have called timeout and had Shep catch the inbounds and shoot the free throws.
2. Up three…gotta foul
3. Shep getting torched on D all game. Maybe adjust the D?

Rob missed ft killed us. If you hold the ball wanting the foul shots you better make the foul shots.
Mitchell was bad tonight. Looked tired.
We aren’t in the game without Reed. 24 points.
Try some zone with this team!!!!

Rock, Is there anything Cal can do to get you to stop defending him?
You had a safe lead under 30 seconds. Thats on game management despite anything happening prior to that. Could have sealed it with effective strategy to get your best shooter at the FT line
It’s always on the coach, OP. We’re still doing roster changes going into February. It’s ridiculous and the man can’t coach for shit.
I guess you better come punch me in the mouth then cause this IS on Cal. Inbound ball TO Reed instead of throw it in and the game is ovet
All this is true, but all uk had to do was foul up 3 with time running out. You would think that loosing a title at Memphis under the same circumstances, he would learn. Just a terrible game coach
Cal could ritually sacrifice a live puppy on live TV with a dull butter knife and Rockfly would say that anyone who wasn't happy with it wasn't a real fan anyway.
Yes. Not foul up 3 in regulation. I just told you.
Take his lips off his…well, Nevermind
It's 100% on Cal because he's let this team go on without teaching any defense and great defense is a Cal staple. Which boggles the mind that we're this bad. It's also why this team will be gone either the first or second weekend in the tournament.
Cal should have gotten Reeves more 3pt looks. He only shot 5 and was 3-5 and Mitchell was 0-5.
Cal is one of the worst on court coaches in history ... at any level
It’s been on Cal for a long while now….
So:
-Use a timeout and get the ball in Reed’s hands for the free throws. Rob was hurt, somewhat.
-Get Mitchell out and play Bradshaw.
-Foul under 6 seconds and not give up a 3.
All of these things could’ve been addressed during a timeout.
-Hypothetically, if a guy goes 8-9 from 3…at some point wouldn’t you deny him the ball to minimize his touches? Face guard? Run him off the line?
Again. This one is on the coach. All these superstars, and none of them can develop into defensive players? Coaching.

This is 100% on Cal….(1) you have the best free throw shooter in the conference and you have him inbounding the ball???? (2) Refuse to foul up 3 on the final possession. Coaching is the small things….and Cal is terrible at the small details. Great recruiter, great motivational speaker, great team builder. Terrible bench coach…who is somehow getting worse at it as he gets older.
