This says a lot…

Califraudi with the game on the line

That looks like Pitino end game situations.

Bad then. Bad now.

There was nothing wrong with that play call. Just poorly executed.

But you also have to know who you are drawing up a play for.

I doubt he catches a good pass.

Like Tubby drawing up an end of game play for Sheray. It was good play call. It was the wrong guy to execute it.

But it shouldn’t have come to that. If we don’t dig a 12 point hole we don’t need end game heroics.

It was poorly called in the last couple minutes too. Theiro was fouled on the block.

Then he was fouled on the rebound on their end.

Shouldn’t have come to that either.

Bottom line is the better team won. That’s the biggest indictment on Cal.

They should not be the better team.
 
Well, what is it with Welch? When things were going great and we were scoring a lot and winning it was all because of Welch. We are still scoring a lot but losing so that’s all on Cal? Probably a combination of everything - Cal, assistant coaches, players being garbage at times, etc…

I think assistant coaches are vastly overrated in terms of their actual impact on a game.
Post like this is why people mock you.
 
The lob would have worked if it had been a good pass. The problem is that we’ve sucked at throwing lobs all year. Terrible decision
 
And another thing.

What happened to Welch?

Isn’t he suppose to be an offensive guru?

Has he been relegated to a “yes man” to keep Cal happy?

If the dude is as good as everyone was saying at the beginning of the year, how come he went along with such as stupid play?

He’s either not as good as advertised, he tells Cal what he wants to hear to keep him happy, or Cal doesn’t listen to him at all. Probably the latter.
Welch’s job was to install a modern day offensive “concept “ . Which he did and for much of the year we have led the country in scoring. But he does not have “in game” input regarding lineups, substitution patterns, or real time play diagramming.

There it is. "Sheppard's fault we lost" - I knew the Calbois would show up in force today.

The lob play would have worked well if it was executed properly. Unfortunately Cal is not a detail oriented coach that demands precise execution. If the bigs down low would have set solid picks on their defenders it would have worked....but they were sloppy and obviously had never practiced this. I'm sure it looked great on the marker board but again this team was a victim of Cal-practice.
Love Cal-practice!!!

It’s Cal. Our offense is 2nd best in the NCAA. That’s no secret why. It’s because of Welch. But at the end of the game cal will never let a lowly assistant draw a play up. Unless that’s John Robic. Cal’s ego is too big. He thinks he knows better than everyone. The result is his entire staff shaking their heads as he’s drawing it up.

Reed’s pass was God awful as it wasn’t nearly high enough. A stupid play call though. And what has happened to Reed lately. His passing has been bad, very erratic. Telegraphs too many of them and throws too many cross court passes. Hope he can pick it up down the stretch.
