getting real sick of the trolls and/or idiots on here making up scenarios to try and criticize the program.
Now, legit criticism is one thing. I fully understand the frustration with the 3 empty possessions versus Wisconsin. That's fair. Also, remember, in every single final four there's three losing coaches.
But to make up idiotic scenarios like "I know tubby could have won win Cal's talent" is absurd. Okay, good for you. I think Superman would have made a better astronaut than Neil Armstrong. I think bananas would be better if they were orange. I think of sharks could breathe oxygen, we'd all be dead.
SO WHAT!? It didn't happen, it can't happen, and it won't happen. DEAL WITH REALITY. There is no coach out there, and I'm including K, that has kept his program consistently in the hunt like Cal has. He is responsible for 1/3 of our FFs and 1/8th of our titles in a mere 6 years on the job. You whine and bitch about a "down" recruiting year that, as we see now, includes the #1 C And overall #1, the #1 PG, and a rising star already in the top ten.
I hate one and done too. But that is CBB right now. He's using the rules the best he possibly can. I prefer his method over one legit shot every 4-6 years, which is the old model.
Titles are rare. They come once about every 12-15 years even for the best programs. And they've always included luck. 1998 had no business winning. But they did. Can you argue we've had some bad luck in FFs lately? Yes. But luck has a way of evening out and regressing to the mean. As much as it sucks to not capitalize on your best chance, we are just as likely to win a title out of nowhere. You can't nitpick each year; look at the full forest. THE RATE OF WINNING TITLES REMAINS ABOUT THE SAME, YOURE JUST SEEING IT IN RAPID SUCCESSION, albeit with us on the side of a some bad luck.
You're the kind of people who panic when you lose one hand of blackjack, and veer off the strategy, hoping to strike gold hittin on 17. This is not a sprint. This is a marathon and WE ARE WINNING.
More chances = more titles, ALWAYS. Cal always gives us a chance. Not one other coach out there can provide that so consistently.
I guess though, all these trolls really prove that Cal is doing well. I mean, when you literally have to make stuff up to criticize, that's got to be a good sign...
