When this guy was at Davidson they ran plays and set screens for him to get open. Does Cal do these things ? No.

Ole Kellan needs to jump into that weave and get him some touches!
You're going to have to provide the answer for both of us, yoshuka because I agree with you completely and I have no answer. Also, Davidson plays against pretty decent competition, plus plays games against the big boys of college basketball too. So, I just can't buy the higher competition excuse. I think Grady needs the directive given to Allen: "Find the nerve to shoot the ball or someone else is going to have to play that will" - which is not too promising in my opinion, because it would have to be Mintz (who works his butt off, but isn't half the talent that Grady is in my opinion) or Sharpe (who will likely struggle with inconsistency while he's trying to develop his skills and, at the same time, get acclimated to a game of bigger, stronger, faster players constantly coming at him).
You make a good point about the production of Allen and Mintz. But I assume, like me, just your own eye test (forgetting for a minute what he did at Davidson) tells you Grady has the better all-around tools at this time. But, for whatever reason he isn't producing. Many will say it's Calipari's fault, and as the coach that has to be at least part of the issue; but I don't think Grady should get a pass. He's not aggressive enough and I see him pass up shot after shot that other good Division I shooters would take every time.
Just change the names of the team that beat us that week, and the spiel is the same B.S. week after week. I'm sick of excuses. You get paid 10 million a year to win fu*king basketball games, not spew out weekly horse shit
You GO, Doc ! ! ! Only an obsequious, fawning Calipari toady like HH would post such drivel !
Kellans also playing 7 mpg less at UK than he did at Davidson and about the talent he playing against here is not much difference than wat he played against at Davidson especially the 7 games against the Fighting Cupcakes of Cupcake University and he shooting 40% from 3 but at Davidson he was “the man” and at UK he just another good player so maybe he is not trying to force the issue just yet until he realizes how bad we need him score the ball. I think Grady will be alright once he gets settled in a little bit and becomes more comfortable. I’m not tryin to agree or disagree with anything anyone said.. this is just kind of my observation.
How about you coach the kid on what he did wrong and he what needs to do.
If what he'd done before against it was successful, he would still be doing it. Obviously it wasn't successful, he hasn't changed it, and you're playing mind games trying to get the kid to figure out the right conclusion instead of coaching and teaching him.
Good take. My opinion on UK's need for Grady on offense might go beyond what you think is necessary. But I think this team needs Grady to be "the man" also. UK has other good players that provide more options, so I don't think that Grady needs to carry the same scoring weight as he did at Davidson. But I think he has to be the primary scorer, which means he has to take more shots - and in my opinion those shots are already there and Grady is the guy I want taking them.
Yes sir! I absolutely agree with ya. I think that will end up happening too. Is all I meant was the reason he not being as aggressive is because he might not want to come off as selfish to his teammates. I have saw him pass up a few that made me scratch my head and wonder why he didn’t shoot it in certain situations. I’d gave anything if that 3 he shot against ND that rimmed out would’ve went thru. That sucker was halfway down and come back out and that would’ve been a nice one for him to see go through the net but it just didn’t, but it’s little (or big) things like that that needs to happen for him to become more comfortable but I agree he needs to carry a lot of the weight for us to be successful. I think he just deferring at times right now not even knowing how bad we need him to score. I think he will end up having a breakout game though where it clicks and he realizes he has to score big for them to be successful. Hopefully it comes sooner than later though!!
Oh I misread what you said but I do think Grady needs to carry a lot of the load. I just now went back and read it again but we do have other options just like you said but without CJ playing and Dontaie doesn’t look like he gon get out of his seat much I think Grady has got to come up big for us to be successful. Oscar is fixing to start drawing more and more heat if we don’t get better from the outside.
There. Fixed it for you . You're welcome.
I don’t think he has a play to draw up for a situation like this. Really don’t.
Hey, at least you got some human interaction today. Mission accomplished bAss.
I did. I do a lot. We enjoy laughing at the haters here. But these guys played ball.
Abused any other old people today?
Lol. I don’t think your that old bASS. Been trying to figure you out. You posted your address last year and I am 80% sure it was correct. See I had a good friend that posted just like you on a Cincy board. Loved the guy/ hated the poster. He, sadly, passed away. Just trying to figure out if you are like him- or really just a jerk. Your the only poster I criticize on this board. I’ll figure you out eventually.
Criticizing the coach isn’t necessarily always criticizing the team/program.
We criticize Cal because he is hurting Kentucky. Because we love the program. To me it represents the state. And we as Kentuckians don’t get much representation outside of UK and the Derby. We’re a small, poor and conservative southern state with only one city in Louisville that would be considered top 100 population-wise. The rest of the state is rural or small towns (not a criticism btw. It is something I’ve grown to love about the state.)

After reading this thread, I think you're just a douchebag all the time.
"I support my team." What a derpy-ass comment for a message board.
AKA... you bring literally nothing to the table except being a lame scolding cheerleader.
Ignored.
It is when what's is said is indefensible and unknowable. So much conjecture and BS.
Why the whining about KY? I lived there 30 years. Nothing wrong with KY. You are just basing your own self worth on how that ball team does. Not everyone in KY does that. It's kinda pathetic.
Why do you "hate" the UK Program and Tradition KyCalFan? Supporting Cal undermines the Program and enables Cal to continue his shitshow charade that you so dearly love. You enable him which makes you a hater of the Program or too stupid to know the difference. What is it CalFan? Enlighten us. You're way in over your head trying to defend the indefensible which makes you noteworthy...just not in a good way. You do know that Cal doesn't know you nor does he give a rat's arse that you bludgeon yourself herein defending him while he destroys the greatest college basketball program to ever exist. You will forever hold a special place in the hearts of every sworn enemy of UK basketball while you defend this Snake Oil Salesman while he sullies our proud history and tradition. Why do you "hate" UK so much? You...Are...The...Hater. You are exactly what you accuse every loyal UK fan of being. You are the purveyor of Deception and Lies. Like the Emperor, KyCalFan, you have no clothes. You have been exposed.
You don't have a team around here but just out of curiosity how is it that you "think" you support them?
Of course I do. And why do you think I'd explain anything to the likes of you.
That's laughable. I've noticed for some time your acumen with the language without being overly impressive and now you attempt to insult. Bass sometimes it's best when you say less. But I'm sure you will disagree in fact I would be disappointed if you didn't. You are really a special kind of "sumpin". Museum quality in fact. More like the gift that keeps on givin" and for that, we thank you from the bottom our Big Blue Hearts. Just curious how did you do in "english" class?
Don't you think you should apologize to Jumpercat?
Now that's poor english Bass. It's never too late to apologize to your fellow BB fan...ole' Jumpercat, whom you tried to insult. You're such a silly boy.
Thanks for providing an excellent example of a typical hater post where crap is just made up. You made my point earlier exceptionally well. Every single thing you said is false. Everything. Most of it is actually unknowable to you. But that didn't stop you. Characteristic of a hater of Kentucky basketball.
I try to every day. God does not show respect to one person over another regardless of their social or financial status, and neither should any of us.
Having money and prestige does not make you a better or smarter person than someone who does not have what you have in God's eyes and that should apply to us also.
Being arrogant and condescending toward others are characteristics of many that are more privileged in life than others, even though they may have both come from humble beginnings.
Cal epitomizes this every time he talks down to the fans, Tom Leach, and anyone else that he chooses to. Cal has many good traits, but being a jerk toward others is not a good look for someone who has his wealth and position in life.
Money and power corrupt many good people.
Exactly. They don't play Zone in the NBA very often. Strange coincidence. Which is even more bizarre given most of our players won't be playing in the NBA. Just another example of a lack of adjustment to his system.
