Most of you favor him to be the coach yesterday. Still hoping, or did the beating by UK, UT and now Florida sway things?

Sounds like they were in the wrong place…..at the wrong time.They have had a rough couple of weeks.
Unless the kid is named Anthony Davis, injury excuses dont have a backbone....especially in blowouts.Latrell Wrightsell's injury has really hurt them. Saw he got some spot minutes tonight but his loss was big for them/how they spread the floor. Or do injured players missing games only matter if it's in Lexington? Just want to know how we're setting up the rules for the discussion so the goal post doesn't keep getting moved.
Definitely does, I think missing a couple guys for us cost us at least 2 games. We blew 2 other games. Could have been an amazing year had those things not happened. Still could be depending on how we finish.Latrell Wrightsell's injury has really hurt them. Saw he got some spot minutes tonight but his loss was big for them/how they spread the floor.

The OP is team cal and is gonna point out everytime another coach messes up. Oates seems to have a pattern at bama, really good one year then kinda average the next year. I would still gladly take him as our next coach as I think eventually he is good breakthrough and get to a final four and maybe even win a championshipLatrell Wrightsell's injury has really hurt them.

Go tell that to Duke who gets ass kissing every time they have a dude out with a splinter.Unless the kid is named Anthony Davis, injury excuses dont have a backbone....especially in blowouts.
I'd say Golden has a better chance than Oats of coaching at UK in the future.Florida seems to have found themselves a keeper at HC. They're going to be a thorn for a while.
Agreed. Bama was never that good, just scored alot of points. Reminded me of Pitino's early teams here, guard heavy, shoot alot of 3s and hope they go in.Alabama never was the best team in the conference. They had the easiest schedule in the league. They finally had to play some folks here at the end and they blew it.
I’m not sure I understand this. We’ve had some really untimely injuries over the years but those were never allowed to be an excuse. It’s always Calipari’s fault all the time, not the injuries. Correct??Latrell Wrightsell's injury has really hurt them. Saw he got some spot minutes tonight but his loss was big for them/how they spread the floor.

His best days are behind him but one thing is for sure. Sorry a$$ Nate ain’t the answer. That’s clear.Do the losses to LSU , UNC Wilmington, 3 straight home rupp arena losses ( unprecedented ) Texas AM, and St Joe's cause anyone to sway their opinion that John Big Benny Calipari's best days are behind him ?
Florida just beat us at our place in late Jan..... I think you are missing something buddy..Most of you favor him to be the coach yesterday. Still hoping, or did the beating by UK, UT and now Florida sway things?
What's unprecedented is how you used those parentheses... Get those spaces out of there my manDo the losses to LSU , UNC Wilmington, 3 straight home rupp arena losses ( unprecedented ) Texas AM, and St Joe's cause anyone to sway their opinion that John Big Benny Calipari's best days are behind him ?
Would that be the same Florida team that came into Rupp and stole our ice cream? at least Alabama lost on the road.Most of you favor him to be the coach yesterday. Still hoping, or did the beating by UK, UT and now Florida sway things?
Nashville will be crazy next week....literally anyone of the top 5-6 teams can win the SEC Title.
I am still amazed that "Flip" was able to overcome such adversity to play again when it seemed just hours before he may lose his life or at the very minimum his leg to such a senseless act of violence.Go tell that to Duke who gets ass kissing every time they have a dude out with a splinter.
“Duke loses tonight by 15. But they were a man down; they should move up in the polls Monday for their great effort”.
Alabama had a pretty good run under CM and again with Wimp.“Flavor of the month” - gaslighting phrase designed to evade the reality of who our coach is today.
College basketball is fluid, we’re all watching in real time. Oats is simply a guy to keep an eye on because he’s doing a great job at ALABAMA, a poor basketball program that's had a lot of trouble wining historically. It’s not about how good he is in a single year or if he lost today. His body of work at Alabama is impressive, he’s got ties to the SEC, he’s young and hungry so - we keep an eye on him. Personally, I’m not totally sold yet but we could do a lot worse than handing the keys to Oats on a 5 year deal with little buyout.
Same as the others that we bring up and name as potential candidates. Plus, there’s plenty of evidence that suggest Oats might win big here. Someone HAS TO BE the next group of goat college coaches, Oats has proven he might be one. It’s funny when some hold the Alabama coach to a standard they dont even apply to
Calipari at Kentucky.
But please by all means, all hands on deck to protect Calipari from his own record. Skew this conversation to the point where it’s unrecognizable and void of meaningful dialogue. “Flavor of the month” us to death.
lol i think people should pump the brakes on the whole Bama stinks thing.
They are going to finish the conference 13-5 and 2nd most likely. In the SEC which has been tough. The home loss to UT was bad IMO but losing on the road to us and UF.......well u know how road games go.
Alarming is HOW they lost tho. Giving up 117 on 80 possessions to us and 105 in 80 possessions to UF isn't good. Once again it appears that while Alabama is still a good team, they much like us are also one sided. 1st in offense, 106th on defense.
This has been Oats problem for a long long time now. It's wild because he CAN have good defensive teams. In both 2021 and 2023 they were 3rd overall on defense. The problem is his other three years 114th, 92nd and 106th. That's not good

They wouldn’t be a traditional power but they haven’t been a doormat either.
Most of the SEC teams have a moment or two in their history where they challenge UK for a season or two. Then fall back into place. There is one standard bearer in the SEC and it’s UK. Always has been. Always will be.
UK has won more conference titles that all of the rest put together. UK has won more SEC tournaments than all of the rest put together.
UK has more than double up’ed all of the National Titles than all of the rest put together.
The conversation of SEC basketball starts and ends with UK.
Been true with 7 UK coaches and will be true thru 8,9 and 10 UK coaches.
As long as there is an SEC Conference playing basketball it will be about UK.
Yep. Historically this conference has sucked.Alabama had a pretty good run under CM and again with Wimp.

So then all these humiliating losses in the last 5 years and no tourney wins are the direct result of Cal and his inability to prepare his team since injuries without AD aren’t an excuse. Thanks for validating what we have all been saying.Unless the kid is named Anthony Davis, injury excuses dont have a backbone....especially in blowouts.
