My disdain for cal is growing.

[Wildcats1st]

I don’t want to use the word hate but it’s coming close for the emotion I have toward cal. He’s clueless, he’s taken us to become a losing program and worst of all he’s done it by being stubborn and doing things he knows any same person knows won’t work. I mean what he just did in the first half against Kansas was the absolute worst 12 min of coaching I’ve seen at Kentucky in my life. Cal has to play wheeler he doesn’t care about our program. He cares about a couple players feelings. It’s the same every year and I’m sick of it. I do not like the man and yeah my disdain is bordering to hatred. I have never had such disdain for a UK coach in my life. This guy is absolutely awful and it seems to me he is trolling bbn with his stupid line ups.

 

[Runnin'Ramel]

Not one minute for his best lineup in 20 minutes. Wheeler out there getting abused. Ware pretending to be a UK caliber player. Sick of it. Cal deserves the heat he gets.

Yep played Wheeler too long 1st half no offense....

4 for 11 from FT line.
You want Cal to run out there and shot FTs for em too?
Stop blaming Cal for everything!

 

[cats2010]

His lineups after the first 6 minutes were dreadful. Wheeler, ware, Livingston, toopin and CJ were our lineup for about a 1;30 minutes stretch.

Not blaming him for everything,just the shit he CAN control.

That's honesty unbelievable. I mean, that's how conspiracy theories start. How can someone be that level of clueless?

He gets 100% blame for his lineups that kill momentum and defy logic. Agree?

Straw man fail, OP didn’t mention free throws

 

[SoILCAT]

I wish he would put out the lineup that gives us the best chance to win. If those guys shoot horrible at least we tried with our best lineup. Coaches are to put the players in the best position to win.

 

[Jamal Mercer]

Hopefully Oscar and/or Toppin don’t pick up a 3rd foul or we won’t see them again until about 5 minutes left in the game.

 

[St.PatterSoN-54-]

Proves that Cal doesn’t study film. Can’t put your most effective lineup on the floor FOR A SINGLE MINUTE?!?! What the eff?

 

[SemperFiCat]

For some people, it's easier to blame the players than their idols. How about at least just say, "Yes, Cal's lineups suck, but so do the FTs"?

 

[Player2020]

Cal should be coaching youth league.

That’s what happens when you play through the forewords and bigs. It isn’t a coincidence that the games we played guard oriented basketball we shot well from the line and got better looks from 3.

Oscar: 2-4
Lance: 0-2
Toppin: 0-2
Cason: 2-3

It’s about ‘Who’

Reeves should have a couple and the refs have swallowed whistles on our end

You told us a beatdown was coming for Kansas remember, dude please spare us with your drivel. You are a complete blowhard that has zero clue literally other than getting your Pom poms out before every game.

We want him to play the lineup that gives us the best chance to win. How is this so hard to understand?

I am redirecting one of your replies to a post I made last week.
”Then go root for the commuter school!”
And take your real hero, CCC, with you!

It’s the end of January and we’ve had FT issues all season long. And FTs have been Cal’s Achilles heel for his entire career. So no, he can’t shoot them. At what point, if you were Cal, would you say, you know what? I think we need to practice these at practice!

 

[TOMCATS1990]

He puts us behind the 8 ball ever game he is the coach here now

 

[drcats2013]

I’ve blamed Cal all year, but I feel the game plan has been there. The execution from the players has not, however.

 

[K_TIME]

And Cal's patented 2 fouls and you sit in first half nonsense.....just gives away long stretches of games.

 

[UKMKG]

Cal coaching this team is an automatic 5 point disadvantage that the players have to overcome.

Do they not?

 

[Jmeeks54thebest]

Do they not?

I see no evidence of any effort to improve their FT shooting. Do you?

I haven’t been to practice, so I don’t know.

 

[Jmeeks54thebest]

You don’t have to go practice to see the FT percentages haven’t gotten much better as the season has gone on.

Do you need to go to a frat party to know that they’re drinking?

 

[Lazlo7]

Wheelers been in since the 10 minute mark in the 2nd half when we are trailing in huge close game - just riddiculos

No disrespect intended… You have to know that your opinions mean nothing to anyone who has a clue anymore… Right? Please, just sign off man.

 

[KyCPA]

Don't understand why everyone is so upset. We are just coming back to reality. This team is not great and lost so much ground by pi$$ing away the first part of the season. They really needed to start the season playing like they did against UT. UT was the pinnacle of this season.

 

[rodserling]

Cal should be coaching youth league.

Why do you hate youth leagues?

 

[The Snoke]

I just needed this game to wake me up from my complete slumber of thinking this team and this coach matters. I’m back in the real world now. I hope Coach drags the garbage cans out to the curb again. Disgusting 🤢

 

[ukdesi]

They were just better. Big shot after big shot down the stretch. We had no margin of error on offense to keep up with that.

Defense hasn't been good this year, but they had the best players and hit tough shots. We can't win vs good teams when Fred and Reeves go 0-8 from three and 4-17 overall, and compound that with no offensive rebounds. Maybe Cal could have had better lineups, strategy, etc. but I just felt like KU was better today.

I sure remember a different time when we “were just better”. No fun anymore. Eff the excuses anymore.

 

[Wildcat-in-STL]

If its one game, its not the coach....... if its 7 out of 21 games then absolutely its coaching.

 

[Rideordiewildcat]

I don't want to watch another minute of Wheeler. I try to stay positive and not blame players but I have never had more destain for a UK player in my life. He is a momentum and offense killer.
