It’s stuff like this that gives me a bit of peace that he’s down in Fayetteville.
And he spent valuable time (that could have been used to coach and prep for games) pumping his guys in the NBA, acting like their agent. Cal is a THIEF.The reason he had SO many players with max NBA contracts is because he had by far the greatest recruiting run in CBB history. Those guys were already destined for massive NBA wealth regardless of what college coach they chose. The explanation is all about recruiting, it has nothing to do with how Cal coached during their brief one season pit stop here.
Cal is deluded if he truly believes otherwise.
That's the thing, he didn't make anyone rich. Those guys were going to NBA with or without him. He tried to act like he took players that wouldn't make the NBA and turned them into NBA players . He had top ranked recruiting class every year full of guys who were going to NBA no matter what college they attended. And he still failedWhat he sees as vindication we see as confirmation and validation. His metric for success was not winning. Do we raise banners for making people rich? Is there some fun to be gleaned from watching someone lose but knowing in a year or two they’ll be set for life? Who watches sports like that? So glad he’s gone.

And this right here is the cruxEveryone should remember there is a huge difference betwee a freshman Maxey, a freshman Fox, a freshman Booker versus where these guys are when they sign max contracts. Not even close to the same player and winning a single elimination tournament with kids who are on the stage for the first time isn’t easy. I wish Cal had more success with this model because it sure was fun having those kids here.
Exactly, every one of those guys would be in the NBA with or without him. He lives off of others talents and success… Fleas, ticks and tapeworms do the same thing. Just saying.The reason he had SO many players with max NBA contracts is because he had by far the greatest recruiting run in CBB history.

This is so untrue. Just go back over the last 10 years and look at the kids who everyone thought would be great. Many are, but many also struggled and failed to live up to expectations. This is what other fans would say to make themselves feel better about losing recruiting battles. We have a couple too. Coaching isn’t the only thing that contributes to the success or failure of a player in the league.Exactly, every one of those guys would be in the NBA with or without him.
