At halftime of this ARK-MICH game he said, “one thing about Cal is he’ll sell you a blank CD and say it was a deluxe.”
He ain’t lyin’!

It is the all-time best description of Cal. He IS A BLANK CD!!
It’s crazy how if Cal had just won 2 more games in 2015 he would have gone down as a top-6 coach all time in CBB history. Instead he’ll go down as the biggest underachiever the sport has ever seen.
When Arkansas comes to town, it would be great if most fans are wearing T-shirts with BLANK CD on it.

The only reason Cal has one N.C. is the 2012 team was the exception to Cal's guard dominant dribble the cover off the ball teams. 2015 should have never lost to Wisconsin, but Cal managed to lose that game with all that talent.
Can’t overstate the importance of loyalty to the Harrison’s when you have underachieving benchwarmers like Ulis and Booker riding the pine. I mean, who gives a crap if we win a NC or not. Cal lost me that night, I also nearly quit watching altogether when he later covered himself by indirectly saying it was more about the kids than winning. Just glad we have a guy in here who understands the expectations and can relate to the fans.
I recall in that game Booker struggled. I think he did most of March. Not sure about Ulis. The bigger mistake in that game was taking our foot off the gas when we were up something like 6 with 3-4min to go. You know Cal told the twins to do that.
I watched the Baker/Chapman homer broadcast of the Wisconsin game. Rex pointed out how Frank the Tank kept getting away with kneeing defenders on picks (probably why Harrison said "eff that n****" in the post game presser). Any other coach could have probably brought that to the refs' attention and gotten some calls. But no way Cal was going to get a break from Johnny and the Rooferettes.
Ben Howland was a three-time Final Four coach. A few more twists and turns of the ball and he's a three-time national championship coach instead of a guy who mostly be forgotten.
I truly believe Kansas just ran out of time in 2012
If he had developed them during the regular season (his job) they probably struggle less.
What he's saying is cowl will manipulate you any way he can to get what he wants. Say anything and do anything liar.
And 3 freakin' shot clock violations later Wisky's in the driver's seat...
Booker may have been struggling, can't remember, but the twins probably weren't on fire. The twins wanted to be the heroes' but turned out to be zereo's. But a true "coach" would have called time out after the 1st ball hogging show, instead of letting them do it several times in a row. KAT should have touched the ball in the paint every possession, but the "coach" lacked the knowledge to make sure that happened.
Booker was getting destroyed by Dekker, but Ulis would have fed it to KAT everytime as they couldn’t stop him. The Harrison’s wouldn’t pass it to him. I do remember Cal screaming at them to feed him but he should have taken Andrew out as he was looking for his brother instead of KAT.
There's no way of knowing if Ulis was ready for that specific game, in the way he was ready most of his sophomore year. That's a tough situation to turn to your undersize freshman guard (who is mostly unknown at this point) and say, go save us kid. Hindsight is 20/20.
There's a ton of bad coaching jobs and snafus by Cal. I find that the Wisconsin game was just an awful officiating screw job, a bad matchup for UK without Poythress and going against Dekkar, against probably one of the better teams of the decade in Wisconsin. If the shot clock violation is properly called, we win, and we probably win the title because that Duke team was really not that great.

Trying to force the platoon, and force minutes for all the guys he'd promised minutes to, was the fatal mistake. We should have seen more time running Ulis with the Twins vs playing 3 bigs.
