Oh and just seconds ago I got accosted on another thread for criticizing cal. Get a clue dude. I’m not bass
If anyone says 'this one's on Cal...

I think you stick with an experienced Senior over Bradshaw … but realize Mitchell played poorly on offense.
Cal takes credit for wins, he should also take responsibility for losses.
We have lost 2 games because Wagner was out, IMO
This!! And he keeps saying Reeves is our best defender, why isn't he guarding Clayton??
This one’s on Cal.
As are many, many other losses.

Turning the last few seasons into soap operas is on Cal too.
This
I don’t even get upset anymore
Maybe it’s better not to be so invested anyway …
We primarily lost because DJ wasn't playing, after that there were myriad secondary issues that made it harder to win.
Maybe Cal should have had someone else on the guy instead of the dude who played 40 mins running point that got burnt all night on him, or foul and send them to the line, or maybe not go to Trey & Ugo the first 3 possessions of OT?
Cal ended regulation with 3 timeouts - fundamentally retarded...
Cal sucks. The timeout when Reeves had the center 1 v 1 to set up a crappy shot by Rob. Not fouling. Refusing to change anything on defense, ever. Inbounds pass with Rob shooting free throws.
I agree to some degree. No one can guard, but he needs to come up with something different. Also have to foul when up 3. The three has been around for almost 40 years now, and I’ve only seen that strategy backfire twice, and I’ve watched a pretty good amount of games in that time.
100% he is the one who won’t change our defensive scheme even though it’s evident we can’t guard a lamp post. He doesn’t foul up 3 even though every other coach in America would.
Plenty of blame to go around. Reed, Mitchell and Cal (in that order) cost us the game.
Despite all that, the players still had put the team in a position to win the damn game. That is where Cal has to step up and do his damn job with strategy. They can only tie with a three so take that away. Now if they players fail to get the rebound on the missed free throw that is on the players. Not fouling up 3 is 100% inexcusable by Cal. He let the only thing he could control bite the team in the ass. Cal shit the bed when it mattered.
His team his players 10 million a year another embarrassing loss at Rupp. Totally out coached at the end. Cals fault.
Up 3 with secs left how does Cal not instruct them to foul???
Foul and they have to pull off what we just tried at the end. I mean that's coaching for dummies 101.

You're about as incompetent poster as Cal is a coach!!!!
Don’t you find it odd how many wide open 3s other teams get the last several years? Sorry but good coaching corrects this. I know! It’s too late in the year for this continue to happen. If it was coached and taught correctly it would not be this bad. Can’t blame every year on the player. Can‘t disagree with this!
Bullshit. Despite everything people want to criticize the players on, they still had put the team in a position to win the game. Cal cannot control shots going in or missed etc but he sure as hell can control the strategy and when it came time to do his job and influence/control the game he froze and pissed down his leg.
If Reed even plays a tiny amount of defense we win the game big. If he doesn’t leave his man with 5 seconds left we win the game.
Cal used to be able to teach defense - at least to where teams aren't scoring 75+ points a game on UK
He has (3) 7 footers for crying out loud

Yes he gave up the 3 but that’s about the 3-4th thing down the list that cost us that game.
You could blame several people. Definitely an inexcusable loss IMO. Can't afford to lose games like that when you already lost to UNCW and USCjr. Stings a lot, this team's inability to play defense amazes me. We are too far in the season without any shown improvement. Our offense is good but our defense must make strides in the right direction. All is not lost, but definitely a bad loss tonight. Especially when we had the win in hand.
If Cal instructs them to foul BEFORE that shot we win. Did Cal think all of a sudden the team that hasn’t stayed in front of the ball all year or play D just now might get it? That was stupid on his part.

For crying out loud, Cal could take a shit on some of you guy’s foreheads and you’d be like “well man when you gotta poop you gotta poop, not his fault my face was there.”
This one is on Cal for starting Reed Shepherd. Twice he started and UK lost both games. Team tempo was slow all night.
Not fouling at the end when UF is in regular bonus is coaching malpractice. Cal loses these games because he’s too lazy to practice end game situations or pay attention to any of the other minor details that win these types of games.
Reed has been playing defense the same way all year, if that’s not the way Cal wants him to play then Reed’s defense is on Cal.
Op wish I was still at your level man but after losing, losing, and losing I came around.
