That's a weak response my friend. I didn't say anyone was an infant for having a differing opinion. You can believe anything you want, even if you're wrong. But if you're gonna argue with me about it, you better step up your game. The argument I'm making is that many of our younger fans want instant gratification. We've won so much that 2 losses early in a season make begin to question Calipari and the entire system/program. It can't be that the players just didn't have a good night shooting. It can't be that the team just didn't play defense and rebound early and waited too late to turn it on. It can't be that the officials were one-sided at all and reversed a call that could have tied the game with under a minute to go. No, it MUST be that Calipari has lost his coaching ability, that he's all washed up, and that a coaching change is in order. Nevermind that we've seen all this before
mand that the team is always peaking in March.
Can you say "overreaction"? This response is also classic and those of us who have posted here have seen it all. Fans who never celebrate a win show up en masse after a loss and throw tantrums.
Now, if 2 losses turns into 3, which turns into 7, 8, 9, and 10, we can realistically complain.
As for Tubby, I loved the guy. Still do. I think he is a great person and a solid coach in his day. But he could not recruit the talent needed to win big in the NCAA. The SEC in those days was pathetic and we struggled. The conference is head and shoulders better now. I always said that if someone else could recruit for Tubby, he had a contender every year, but he just couldn't do it. So, we end up with Brandon Stockton, Shagari Alleyne, Lukasz Obrzut, Bobby Perry, and on and on. And Vitale calls it... this is just not the level of talent that we're used to seeing at Kentucky.
Fast forward to now... we have the talent to get it done. Sometimes these guys get off the bus ready to contribute. Sometimes they need a month, 2 months, and some (like the Harrison twins and company) don't begin to see their potential until the very end of the season.
But do we have patience? Very little. We pitch a temper tantrum. That's it. That's why I said what I did. And it is absolutely true. My biggest fear is that one of these days Calipari will get sick of listening to the whiners, the infants, and the idiots and leave.
