Incase anyone forgot. Sure he makes 10 Million a year but remember he gave some of it back for charity, plus he traveled around asking for donations from us. So be sure to remember that before you criticize him....as if he would let anyone forget.

Great human beings don’t remind you of all their good deeds constantly. “Hey buddy, you can’t be mad at me! Remember that good thing I did a few years ago?” In fact, if you are of the Christian sort, Jesus had something to say about exactly this sort of behavior:This is part of being the coach of the commonwealth. Y’all can criticize his coaching all you want and I’ll even agree with you most of the time, but Cal is a great human being who has helped thousands of families.

How much of his own money has he given back? Not trying to be ugly here, just curious.If people are attacking me from all angles and even attacking my character, I’m gonna let them know just how much I care and how much I have gave back. 🤷♂️
I agree with your post, he is a good person and he is uses his platform to benefit others.Incase anyone forgot.

You called your own self out for being "Ugly"...How much of his own money has he given back? Not trying to be ugly here, just curious.
Sadly, it's Humanity in a nutshell. People have their priorities mixed up. Sports is more important than helping others in need.All people care about the UK coach doing is winning games. I'm sorry if that's rude but it's reality.
Came for this you can be a humanitarian and a terrible coach, both things can coexist. Lol. I knew a thread like this was gonna pop upBeing a great humanitarian does not excuse incompetence in your profession.
I think you need a new username. BelfryKyCalfanatic.Sadly, it's Humanity in a nutshell. People have their priorities mixed up. Sports is more important than helping others in need.
I agree with this statement.... just wait until he get's a chance to do it full time..... wish it started today.He is a wonderful ambassador of the University and of the State of Kentucky.
Only for the publicity.This is part of being the coach of the commonwealth. Y’all can criticize his coaching all you want and I’ll even agree with you most of the time, but Cal is a great human being who has helped thousands of families.
Hahaha, Thanks! You have a wonderful day sir!I think you need a new username. BelfryKyCalfanatic.
This is some high irony right here. You talk about helping needy people, and we have coaches asking people to donate money to already pampered athletes who are already getting everything they need including room, board, training medical and education. Why? so they can drive a fancy car while waiting out their year to become rich in the NBA.Sadly, it's Humanity in a nutshell. People have their priorities mixed up.

Ask some of those kids you are talking about how hard of a childhood they had. Not everyone is born fortunate.This is some high irony right here.

Lots of people had hard childhoods. Where are their NIL reparations? Oh, they never mastered that crossover dribble.Ask some of those kids you are talking about how hard of a childhood they had. Not everyone is born fortunate.
I got a good idea. Cal needs to donate a part of his salary back to the school considering an average to below average coach can do what he has the last 4 years. That would be great for the school and very charitable. A 9-16 season, 4 losses in a row in the champions classic, just 1 NCAA tournament win (47 schools have more) in the last 4 years, knocked out of the sec tournament in the very first round twice in four years with no sec championships, no sec regular season titles, lost more games at home in a row than any coach in school history, etc.Hahaha, Thanks! You have a wonderful day sir!
He gave $10k, about .02% of his $45m net worth. This is not tooting my own horn, just as an example, I gave $100 to both funds which is about 0.2% of my annual income. Many people probably did the same on half of that. It’s easy for someone of his stature to ask for donations but you should do some some research starting a thread about his charity work.I’m sure it’s likely more than either of us will ever know. I’m not his personal accountant so I can’t give you an exact number.
Well, to be honest, the OP brought this crap upAll people care about the UK coach doing is winning games. I'm sorry if that's rude but it's reality.

Well he had plenty of time to do that since he doesn’t focus much on bettering the UK program.Incase anyone forgot. Sure he makes 10 Million a year but remember he gave some of it back for charity, plus he traveled around asking for donations from us. So be sure to remember that before you criticize him....as if he would let anyone forget.
Agreed, but I have to play Devil's Advocate on this a bit. It drives me crazy that people say that when talking about high profile folks. The news is gonna get out. "They TOOK pictures!" Well, yes, when the governor or president shows up to a disaster area, it's gonna make news and usually not by choice. Sure, there are obvious photo ops, but there are instances that their giving is genuine. I cant imagine being higher profile and trying to do something good without it being plastered.Great human beings don’t remind you of all their good deeds constantly. “Hey buddy, you can’t be mad at me! Remember that good thing I did a few years ago?” In fact, if you are of the Christian sort, Jesus had something to say about exactly this sort of behavior:
Be careful that you don't do your charitable. giving before men, to be seen by them, or else you have no reward from your Father who is in heaven.
Does he still start every sentence telling the world that he went to mass today ?Great human beings don’t remind you of all their good deeds constantly. “Hey buddy, you can’t be mad at me!

He's a pathetic liar.This is part of being the coach of the commonwealth. Y’all can criticize his coaching all you want and I’ll even agree with you most of the time, but Cal is a great human being who has helped thousands of families.

I lived behind enemy lines in Bloomington Indiana for 2 years when Knight was coach. He, and his ball-washers, always were quick to remind people he gave to the library. Alas, no amount of that whitewashing could get the stink off that asshole.Incase anyone forgot. Sure he makes 10 Million a year but remember he gave some of it back for charity, plus he traveled around asking for donations from us.

FF every year is a bit crazy once you get to the E8 games get really tough most years., you're usually playing a T10 team and it's a game of bounces at that point. But S16 isn't and maybe E8 isn't unreasonable. And we used to do that.That is a great thing that Cal does, but he needs to retire from UK and do charity full time, we need a coach to be going to the FF every yr.
