Viable Assistant Coach Replacements?
- Thread starter MidseasonTweak
- Start date
Phil Martelli might be a name to watch for
Won't matter. Cal only listens to Cal.
No no no and HELL no.
We already have one neurotic narcissist. We don't need yet another.
I have no clue if Kenny Payne will come back, but I would think he might be an option. Both Welch and Martin seemed like good additions last year, so hopefully he replaces Chin with another good hire. I'd love to see Bruiser replaced with someone that could play a similar role that Robic played as it's a "non-coaching" position. I could see him go after Derek Kellogg, who has been a pretty good assistant at Creighton...I'm wondering if he could play the role of Robic in terms of telling him things he doesn't want t hear.
Hiring new assistants might prove to be difficult given the current situation of the program.
The only assistant that seems to have made any visible difference in our on court play is Welch. The offense this year was completely different than past years. Of course I have never watched a practice so it is just a guessing game on which assistants add value. I do think that Bruiser has achieved an award that has not been mentioned. He has been elected to the Double Bubblegum Hall of Fame! Heard he was not available for comment as he was chewing gum.
Rondo, just so he can kick everyone’s ass
Bob Huggins is the new defensive coordinator. Cal will have to play some 1-3-1 😂
It doesn't matter. Cal won't listen to anyone unfortunately.
I’d pay money just to see him and Cal constant yell at each other. Be better than any product we put on the court.

My issue with the assistant debacle.. is a lot of current players on the team have an assistant they worked with. Removing the assistant might remove the player.
And we know Cal doesn't listen to them much anyways. So, honestly, unless it's some big name hire.. just leave it. Maybe get rid of the malcontent..

Calipari is just riding time until his former wave of accomplishments cannot be surfed anymore. And that wave is dwindling down quickly.
He’ll probably just throw in someone that he thinks will quiet some fan discontent, maybe a former Kentucky guy. Just like recruiting guys like Perry are to keep people content as much as possible.
Calipari retired years ago. This is about making everyone and himself money on the way out. He’s not going to pick assistants to “turn it around” that’s not what he wants.
As much as it sucks it’s not really worth talking about (if a change is made at all), but I get it.

No one has any idea what any of these assistants do unless they’re recruiters. They use their biases to determine who is a good assistant and who isn’t. Ask any of them who out good assistants and who our bad assistants are and why they feel this way. There’s no chance they answer outside of saying someone is a good recruiter.
We need a replacement for our AWFUL HEAD COACH. From what I heard the assistants were going a decent job. Kentucky basketball is F**ked with cal as a head coach.
It. Does. Not. Matter.
Calipari could hire Pat Riley, Greg Popovich, and Phil Jackson and he wouldn’t listen to a single thing they said.

I like the idea of bringing on someone with experience as a head coach and not one with a short stint like Bruiser Flint.
It would not shock me if this were to happen. I just hope Tyler Ulis is retained in some role if his student assistant time is up.
Ksr acted like Ken Coleman was horrible behind the scenes and I haven't heard anything what are some of the things he's done
