I like Rondo but this hire is too important to give to a guy that never coached.
Yes. Both things can be true. Judges throw kidnappers into jail. Good people can acknowledge that you are a garbage, crybaby, hater.
I'm confused, did you forget to switch accounts? Are you Cornbread?
Sweetheart did you forget you also hated on me a few minutes ago.Now go back to bed with mommy.
I don't hate anyone. I wouldn't compromise my soul to hate the buzzing of you gnats. I do enjoy calling you out, and most of all watching you be unhappy.
My "mommy" died a couple of years ago. I sleep next to the same woman I've slept next to for 40 years.
What experience do they have coaching? Chuck wants to Sing and Act apparently, not coach.
Let’s go steal the recruiter at Tennessee. He seems to be a good judge of talent No former players without documented recruiting experience
First off, its basketball. Basically all hires are part of a network. Everybody has connections, that's how you get on a staff.
Mark knows the importance of this, as does Scott. Having 2 guys on staff that have lived the life, both good and bad HAS to be a good thing.
For the others, I agree we need a great recruiter. If we got someone with international ties that would be a plus. But I don't know who Mark's connections are there.
I hope he keeps Tyler Ulis in some capacity. I want him as a KY coach, not an Arkansas one.

I'm fine with bringing in Padgett.
As someone else said, Padgett has been a head coach and is a current top assistant to a very good head coach of an NCAA tournament team. He is also another national champion who knows first hand what it takes to succeed as a player and a teammate at UK. If Mark Pope wants Padgett on his staff, I am all for it.
Padgett's son Luke is a walk-on with UK football.
If he can coach as well as he played he would be good, wish we could have kept coach O for recruiting but saying that maybe Coach Pope will bring in a good recruiter.
The assistants are going to play a major role in how well Pope does. However, in today’s world of NIL not many are going to be out bidding us. We saved a lot of money for this reason, and that’s the main factor. The money and the brand create the machine. And with Pope’s modernized offense he should be able to really make a splash.
But he can’t close the book on “what if’s” by hiring killer assistants. I hope he does.
Nope. Need a clean break from all Calipari coaches. And Pope wouldn’t be able to trust any of them anyway. They are Calipari guys.
Good riddance.
Nah there were some serious Calipari clowns who were unable to see how bad off we were with that pos in the lead. I mean it couldn’t have been more obvious so those terms applied. And none of those guys should be forming opinions right now after seeing how insanely nuts their positions were.
Pope had a fun system, he’s a 90’s cat, and he will bring back Kentucky the way it’s meant to be after Calipari nearly destroyed it. They aren’t the same thing but everyone needs a few detractors I guess.
He’s Assistant to the Head Coach. I’m not even sure it’s a position that recruits or has on court coaching responsibilities. I’m not anti-Padgett, but his resume as an assistant isn’t the strongest thing out there with stops at Samford, Manhattan, New Mexico and now in an administrative role at Mississippi State.
If he comes in as the 4th guy, then I’d be ok with that, but 1-3 need to be a lot stronger imo.
Corn, booker and track are easy Ignores for me. Do your own due diligance.

Would like to keep chin Coleman too…
What negative thing do you have to say at this point? The man hasn’t coached a game here. If you’re already questioning every thing he does or doesn’t do you are either just a negative/miserable person in general, or you have Calipari fatigue. The latter I can understand though, so I forgive you little buddy.
What about Pitino as director of basketball operations? Seems like a great way to end your career.
Have to get young, cannot fill spots with buddies (didn’t we hate Cal for that), have to get a master recruiter.
I don’t see what Padgett brings, he’s an admin to the head coach currently, he cannot be one of the major assistants at UK

UNC’s staff includes a 4-year starter, a walk-on with the Jamison-Carter teams, and a FF MOP. Some of the support staff include an All-American and someone on the floor when Webber called a timeout. Fwiw.
Don't even know if it makes sense but I'd like to see Rondo as the former Cat on staff. I think his name is very valuable for recruiting as he played in the league forever and was a pretty big name.
So I'm not allowed an opinion on people or recruits he brings in?Do you even know what a message board is for?
