Its been awhile for these type of things. Yeah it July but its still UK and we might have something this year.
Yeah, it really is. You can fault the man for many things but he doesn't miss a trick. He not only took the team there, he made sure the cameras were rolling. 🤣That’s awesome for the team and it’s going to catch the attention of recruits. Smart move by Cal right there.
Nice banner he hung outside his house. I put up a UK flag on my porch for March Madness. I guess Drake and I are basically the same, cool.
that's great except it hasn't resulted in more titles, and that's the measure for success right?This is the stuff that comes along with Cal that doesn't come along with other coaches.
He will crush recruiting and he will crush celeb connections & NBA connections like no other coach in America.
You may not like his lack of inbounds plays, but this stuff does matter when trying to attract top-level talent.

you think Hall was praised for just winning one? Pitino left at the top of his game and the team the following year won a national title.I agree cal should have another title or two but this stuff is inconsistent as hell on here. No coach with more experienced and talented teams has won more than one title post Rupp. Hall failed having his best players 3 or 4 years and same with pitino and Smith.
I've also noticed our fans ignore this for multi year players as well. With Caliparis one and done freshmen it's been they are failures for not winning in one year but mashburn, issel, prince, etc get worshipped for not winning n 3 or 4 years (to name a few players of many). 2 of the 3 didn't even make a final four n their time at UK.
Be consistent.
I wonder if this is the first time somebody wearing camouflage crocs (Reed) has been at Drake's house?
Reasons why if he can turn it around, he should stay.This is the stuff that comes along with Cal that doesn't come along with other coaches.

“I ain’t goin’ in.”

Ugh. He aint yet until we get some damn hardware. I would LOVE to see the return of pre-2015 true swaggy Cal.I love swaggy Cal
Lighter Air in Canada, heavy air down South, that was the Air Ball explanationyou'd think Drake would be better at 3pt shooting
He’s worth a half billion. I don’t think he’s real concerned about his gas and electric billImagine heating that during a Toronto winter.

Just win dang it..... Winning will fix this relationship. Coach seems to have lightened up a little bit. this isn't an excuse for the last 3 years but this is kind of the first normal year we've had since covid.fix it.....just fix it. You belong at UK but you....have....to.....win.
If you can build it, you can afford to heat it.Imagine heating that during a Toronto winter.
Well for starters, it can't "just" be titles or bust as other great coaches only have 1. I think Final 4s are about as close to a "title" in sports as anything else. It's not easy to get one, that's for sure. Coach K, the supposed GOAT coach only has 4 Final4's in the last 20 years.
While these last few years have not been great for Cal.. his approach was working VERY well in the 1st half of his tenure here. 2009 to 2015 is more than anyone could ask for. I don't think it's reasonable to expect much more. We'll see if he can recapture some of that magic this year.
Thats not necessarily true. I see stories of all kinds of people who are house poor.If you can build it, you can afford to heat it.
If you look at coach K he averaged a title roughly every decade.Well for starters, it can't "just" be titles or bust as other great coaches only have 1.

When you talk about being the gold standard and you "eat first', then you take the expectations you create.
Once Cal retires we’ll really be able to have this debate. Until then just speculation. Which I guess is the point of sports message boards.If you look at coach K he averaged a title roughly every decade.

You can take the boy out of the south. But you can't take the south out of the boy.I wonder if this is the first time somebody wearing camouflage crocs (Reed) has been at Drake's house?
Cal fans are too quick to forget that with that single title, it also includes the worst season in the history of the program, worst single loss, Kansas passing us in all time wins and a host of other issues as coach.So if Cal were to win a title this year, that means he's winning a title every 7 years, and therefore he's past Coach K and absolved of any criticism?
Cal probably shouldn't have done his whole spiel about winning multiple titles.. not for any reasons pertaining to his ability, but more so that winning multiple titles is just not easy in college basketball.
I'm fine with his accolades to date. The problem is that they are front loaded and we still don't know if he found that mjo.. then again it's not like Coach K had a great stretch during this time either, he just had a more recent Title. But Coach K from 2016 until last year wasn't any thing great.
