according to one caller, that wasn't the first time Cal called for a lob in that situationCal said it himself. It was gonna be a lob. If that wasn’t there a Reeves 3.

Very possible. And I would totally get it. But if that’s how you felt step away from the wheel and take that damn ambassador role he would freaking kill.It's not talked about. But you have to wonder.
2015: He loses a 38-0 team to the refs and his own choking
2017: He rebuilt a fresh team that looks national title bound. He gets jobbed by the refs
2019: He rebuilds a fresh team that is looking red hot coming into March. He gets jobbed by the refs.
Thats 3 painful losses in only 4-5 years. You have to wonder if Cal had a moment like so many of us did after all that. ''It's just not worth it to be so invested in titles''. And he shifted gears to helping ''these kids'' and achieve their dreams. If the titles come, cool, if not, he doesn't care. Idk, I'm just spitballing but it makes some sense in my head. Espcially after that Joel Justus article in the offseason.
It’s beyond obvious that you haven’t listened to the KSR after game show in AWHILE.KSR crew are a joke...
Matt's famous line "No other coach but Cal"....it's absurd to feel this way to after 9-16.
Rupp will be empty...and so will Matt's show. People are mad...but when the main UK radio is a butt kiss fest and acts like fans are nuts why they want him replaced.
Of course we won’t definitively know unless Cal or players discuss what the plan was on that possession.How do we know that 1. Ulis was even shaking his head at the play and 2. that the play was a lob?
I refuse to believe that the play drawn up was a lob.. I'll be happy to be proven wrong, but I think the play was more to "Get it to a big for a high percentage shot".. coaches don't draw up "lobs" lol. Not even someone like Cal.
Cal said it himself. It was gonna be a lob. If that wasn’t there a Reeves 3.
And what’s infuriating WE CAN DO BOTH!Yep. That 2nd paragraph is what i've been thinking for a while. Titles, wins, final fours? That's all selfish blubber. The real goal is helping these kids.
And he’s absolutely rightMatt continually brings up that we will never fire CCC due to the lifetime contract and that we can’t afford it. He says it’s over and over again and I bet he will say it tonight at least two times.
Yeah. Thought all of this for a few years. It's abundantly clear. Just look at his benny lineup comment. And his complete refusal to play Shep, Reeves, and Dillingham at the same time. He knows that's what the fans want. His recent comments in the past few days talking about ''im the worst in the country''. And his remark about fans being mad at only 1 title with 7 all stars. He knows what we're saying. He won't play them because he wants to spite us. He's awful. And anyone who thinks Cal wouldn't do that and how could he that's not his job! He doesn't care. He knows he's untouchable. He doens't talk to Barnhart. In his mind he OWNS this program.That’s it, buddy. And again, he’s been telling us this for years that this is his mission. The majority just blocked it out as classic Cal-speak.
But he was telling the truth “its about them now”.
Beyond that, I think he relishes in how angry it makes us. I think he relishes in rubbing our noses in it that this is what he’s doing and there’s nothing we can do about it.
I don’t give a rip that Edwards made a defensive stop at the end of the game, he had ZERO business playing the entire second half with Dilly rotting on the bench. But that’s Cal saying “he’s going to play and you all are going to like it”.
That's how it was done for 70 years.And what’s infuriating WE CAN DO BOTH!
I blame both of them . IMO it’s nobodys fault but theirs that they are so hated .It's funny, A lot of people here mention that the refs hate Cal.. but why is that Cal's problem? Go after the officiating. Call the games correctly.
I hate to bring this to politics.. but there's a lot of fellow repubs here who post on the Politics forum here. So I'll ask it this way.. Why do we blame the government for stealing the election from Trump (allegedly) because they hate him, but we blame Cal when the NCAA steals games from him, because they dislike Cal?
Stop with the officiating BSTHIS.. is what people aren't talking about enough.
Jobbed in 2016 on the Hump spike bll which cost us a seed.
Jobbed in 2021 or whatever on that awful LSU goaltend call.
The 2011 and 2014 Uconn games..
I could go on for a while.
We have been so absolutely screwed on officiating that it cant just be random. We didn't just flip 25 tails in a row...
If it were up to me to pick the next coach, and I could take anyone--I would 100% take Hurley.Yeah, I mean that may be. At some point, we DO need someone in there who I guess has a good rapport with the refs.
It's just sad that's what it has to come to.
And honestly, Hurley seems to be a guy who is going to wear out his welcome with refs. He's one of the bigger on-ref guys out there. That's going to be a problem at some point. Still want him though,
Edwards fouled the guy. Blatantly raked his forearm and got bailed out.That’s it, buddy. And again, he’s been telling us this for years that this is his mission. The majority just blocked it out as classic Cal-speak.

Your first statement is not true . There are plenty of “Cal fans” that think he should never be questioned.I was as big a Cal fan as anyone... It's easy for me to see (as a high school baseball coach) that his drive and passion for the position is not what it once was.. Maybe it was the contract, Maybe its his age... Maybe he's just tired.
He has accomplished enough. Time to find someone with the energy and love for the program that it deserves.
Also, as soon as his buyout approaches a level to where UK can afford to fire him. He will ''step down'' or ''retire'' and we'll get a big charade about how he dedicated his coaching career to helping kids end poverty. He won't allow himself to get fired. It's also why he wont take that ''ambassador'' position. His ego will never let some dumb rednecks force him out of his program.Can’t like this enough.

Eh. It’s not all bs. But it’s not tonight’s bs.Stop with the officiating BS

See my above post.according to one caller, that wasn't the first time Cal called for a lob in that situation
Exactly why Mitch B should be fired. UK will be held hostage by both Cal and Stoops because of their contracts.Matt continually brings up that we will never fire CCC due to the lifetime contract and that we can’t afford it. He says it’s over and over again and I bet he will say it tonight at least two times.
Even worse you have Reed and Reeves and don’t let them shoot. He impotent.Oof.. well I stand corrected, thats not a good play at all.
He said the exact same crap after Tennessee gameIt’s beyond obvious that you haven’t listened to the KSR after game show in AWHILE.
Stop with the officiating BS
Some JVC praise just now.... "Showed up for his postgame show"
He was pretty rough on him at times last year too though. Basically said the only reason he won’t be replaced was because of his astronomical buyout. That is why Calipari has cut him off . Don’t get me wrong. I can’t stand Matt Jones “the person “ . I have heard too many stories from people that have met him . Hes a grade A a$$hole .He said the exact same crap after Tennessee game
This game is the first time Matt joke has wavered cal can’t come back next season
It's possible bescause out players DON'T KNOW HOW to play defense and constantly get beat and reach and grabUh why? Gonzaga just shot likt 25 free throws AT a BLUE BLOODS House.. against a team that apparently just allows teams to score on them?
So how is this even possible?
This was another game that Duke and Kansas win, we just had on the wrong jersey. They will be higher seeds, and they will do just as little as we do come tournament time.. I wonder why.
Agree Jerry Tipton is gone and as much as I hated him.It’s beyond obvious that you haven’t listened to the KSR after game show in AWHILE.
It's possible bescause out players DON'T KNOW HOW to play defense and constantly get beat and reach and grab
WTF you talking about? who said anything about playing perfect?What does that matter? Why do our players need to play perfect to get the win?
Pick a top25 game tonight and tell me of the winner played perfect basketball.
He said the exact same crap after Tennessee game
This game is the first time Matt joke has wavered cal can’t come back next season
WTF you talking about? who said anything about playing perfect?
No, no no! we did NOT play well enough to win. We got DESTROYED on the boards and couldn't get a stop. They must have had 30 layups. You can't expect to win when the other teams are shooting lay up after lay upThat's what playing against the refs is. We played well enough to beat Gonzaga today, but the countless no calls on our end meant we had to play that much better.
It's not hard to figure out.
Other blue bloods seemingly never have to deal with this, and CERTAINLY not on their own damn home court.
Ffs we "don't even play defense" so how the **** did we lose the foul and free throw battle?? Don't we just let three point shooters shoot, and we get lost all the time? So how are we getting called for more fouls?
Yeah our paint defense and rebounding were what cost us the game. Both were ridiculously bad.No, no no! we did NOT play well enough to win. We got DESTROYED on the boards and couldn't get a stop. They must have had 30 layups. You can't expect to win when the other teams are shooting lay up after lay up
Same issues we've had since NOVEMBER. Still can't rebound and still cant defend. Spinning in the mud.Yeah our paint defense and rebounding were what cost us the game. Both were ridiculously bad.
