Just a few Calipari facts for you this morning to remind you of what you are missing out on. 😂

[Creed Bratton]

Cal has coached for 33 years with 24 of them having Robic by his side. In the 24 years with Robic he has 1 NCAA championship, 6 Final Fours, 12 Elite Eights, 15 tournament championships, 15 regular season championships and won 53 NCAA tournament games (if I counted correctly). In the 9 years without Robic he has 0 championships, 0 Final Fours, 0 Elite Eights, 0 Regular season championships, 0 conference tournament championships and won 2 NCAA tournament games.

**** edited to include the 6 years he made the Final Four in the Elite 8 count ****

Ouch. Apparently Robic meant a lot to Cal.

As far as in-game coaching, Calipari was merely the puppet that relied on Robic’s ventriloquy to function. Cal was the perfect face of it all when he had Robic’s backing. We saw him fall off the cliff when Robic wasn’t behind the scenes doing the nuanced parts of coaching.

Elite 8 count is wrong.

1995, 2006, 2010, 2017, 2019 would make 11 EE.

I think you missed 2007. His teams made the Elite 8 in 1995, 2006, 2007, 2010, 2017 & 2019 which is 6 total plus if you want to include them in the years he made the final four then I guess 12 total Elite 8's.

So 12.

You got me.

This is the hardest I have worked in a long time

I edited my original post to include the final four years in the elite 8 count.... good catch and shows even more of how much Robic meant to Cal's success.

 

[bucsrule8872]

Wow!

I didn’t know Robic was that important to Cal’s success.

He must be the “Cal Whisperer.”

 

[Creed Bratton]

Robic had a terrible showing as a head coach at Youngstown St but he had no talent to win with. With Cal's ability to recruit top guys he was key in getting them coached up IMO.

Pope should hire a defensive specialist.

I think Cal paid Robic to scout us and prepare a game plan for Saturday.

Don’t think that would be something robic would have done for any amount of money.

Anyone who knows Cal knows Robic was the brains behind Cal. Cal recruited and handled the ego's but Robic game planned and handled a lot of the X's and O's.
