Good lord. The kid played 45 minutes and had 24-8-6. Some of you people have to be bots.
If anyone says 'this one's on Cal...
- Thread starter arenk
- Start date
The guy he guarded was 8 for 9 from the 3 point line. He is terrible at defense.
I kinda think Rock is a real UK fan, who wants UK to succeed. He just lets his attachment to Cal to get in his way sometimes
Why do you hold out hope? How many seasons do you have to see how Cal can lose to so many teams that have less talent? It get worse every year. We are loaded and play so many close games. Don’t you agree no FF this year and he should leave?? It not how many years is acceptable to miss a FF? Isn’t 10 enough for a change?
I'm staying up waiting for my i7-12700k to arrive overnight from Amazon. In the past I would have been livid after a home loss. Not anymore.
It’s on CCC for mailing it in for the last 9 years. If you can’t see that, you’re not trying to.
Who is Reed Shepherd? You're a fraud who doesn't even know the players' names.
If you’re referring to Clayton he was 7-13 from 3. No one is saying Shepherds defense doesn’t have tons of room for improvement. But fact is we’re not in that game if not for him. And his coach effed it up by not having the team foul with 10 seconds left up 3.
What about all the other loses where Reed didn’t start? Can you explain those in your butterfly effect?
Never go full retard.
lol. I don’t have any attachment to an Italian man from Philly I’ve never met. I just want my team to win. I want that man to succeed because my team wins when he does. I call it like I see it. When I think he deserves criticism I give it to him. I was one of the first posters tonight to criticize his Decision not to foul. I think it got us beat. I criticize the players when they screw up too.
Y’all think anyone who doesn’t show psycho anger all the time is a nut hugger. He’s protected by his contract and he’s not getting fired so I don’t even waste my time with all that. I want this Mfer to win every single day and I get pissed when he doesn’t.
Well. It was stupid. We lost because of that, among other things. But I guarantee we win if he does the right thing there
heh, sorry man..not sure how that happened. I thought I was responding to him
the bigger issue that, while I'll admit, that not all coaches would have told their players to foul in that situation, that is an example of where you have to question just how serious Cal is about getting a win.
and I am 100% serious when I say that. That's a check out moment on coaching.

He needs to play a Zone. But he is stubborn and won't. Therefore it is on him.
Absolutely. He pays no attention to the little things that win close games. Just going thru the motions collecting checks.
He wants to win. Probably more than us. He just F’d up at the end of regulation. Sometimes he’s bad at his job.
Agreed. He needs to come off the bench going forward. Refuses to guard his man, ball-watches way too much, makes TERRIBLE passes (especially when going out of bounds), refuses to shoot the ball at times. The argument used to be that he needed to start because not doing so was putting the team in a hole. No, he's allowing teams to come back with his poor defense. Same result. So leave him on the bench until he gets on board.
We have lost more games at home than I ever thought we would. Hell I think he’s better on a neutral court than at home sometimes. I think he’s getting nervous at home cause he knows he will catch hell for losing (as he should). But he’s tighter at rupp now
I'm sure he *wants* to win , but he's a hall of fame coach, he's coached hundreds of wins. This should be muscle memory at this point. This is more about a let it ride attitude because he isn't as edgy, as hungry, as motivated as the Cal who arrived at Kentucky with something to prove.
A loss simply doesn't impact him like it did prior to his contract and his decision to develop a legacy outside of coaching - and no one will convince me otherwise.
This year he was re-energized, probably because at some point, either thru is own or someone getting thru to him, that his past recent performances were quite frankly embarrassing and he'll be remembered more for his recent failures than his early wins - so he put this team together, a promising collection of talent comparable to his early years, but he can't help himself. He just doesn't have that edge as a coach.
I think he’s scared of losing at home. Can’t coach scared and tight. The players smell it on ya
I don't see it. I think its too easy for him to shrug off a loss and go home. Tomorrow is another day
That’s fake as hell. He’s embarrassed. Trying to downplay it. Big ego guys do that.
Dunno man. Cal’s backside tends to pucker up tighter than a snare drum in close games.
