Andy Katz Final Four picks
- Thread starter Steelers2012
- Start date
It was asking a little much, under the circumstances.
Had Cal entered Lawrence down 2 of his top 4 vs a healthy KU team, survival would've required a miracle.
It's all relative.
I'd say that 2 of Bill's weakest rosters vs the two best Kentucky rosters of all time qualifies as David/Goliath. Some expected the '12 team to miss the tourney. They lost a lot and brought in no one.
Why do you KU guys always have an excuse for this stuff? The game was never in question, UK was hardly a juggernaut last season. Cal and Self are pretty close as coaches. Not sure why this is so hard to accept
Cats were up double digits with two or three minutes left. Kansas had no real chance to win at the end of the game
I thought it was pretty clear I've been messing around in this entire thread in response to your fellow fan's "Flame out Bill" comment.
It’s debatable. Cal has had some pretty bad late game coaching situations. Not to say Self hasn’t, but I’ve been frustrated with Cal pretty regularly in March.
He seems to have done well against Pitino in late game situations. I know how you love Pitino.
What? I’m not sure if I’ve ever posted about Pitino in a positive light on this board. It seems like you’re salty because I use logic
That dude is a straight up idiot and you can tell by his posts. Cal can piss in his face and he'll claim it's raining.
So how do you account for Cal beating UofL in two close critical games in the NCAA tournament if he was making bad late game decisions?
I can’t believe I’m going to give you a serious response.
For every one game Cal has gotten right in big moments, he’s probably gotten two wrong. I love Cal, wouldn’t trade him for anyone. But guess what cupcake, just because he’s our coach doesn’t mean he’s immune to criticism. He isn’t perfect and there’s nothing wrong with admitting that.
No one was more happy than me when we beat U of L in the final four.
I am so pleased you finally found something Cal did right. I guess you feel Coach K never makes a bad decision in the last few minutes. Name me one coach you think makes perfect decisions in the last few minutes. Just one
You still didn't name one coach that never makes a bad decision in the last few minutes of a game.
I don't love his junk but just happen to think that is not a better coach in college basketball than Cal for UK. No one is perfect but he at least gets us in position to win a title most years. Much better than Eddie Sutton, Tubby, Billy G or Joe B.
I’m not trying to be an asshole, but you either are slow are just don’t want to understand other points.
I said I wouldn’t trade Cal for anyone, literally typed it out for the entire board to read. Skip over that? However, just because he’s my coach doesn’t mean he’s immune to criticism. Fact of the matter is, there are at least one or two programs that have better runs than Kentucky has since he’s been here. It’s okay to admit, it doesn’t make you any less of a fan.
Here’s one for you. K has been better since 2010. Roy has been better as well. Hell, UConn has more titles.
Again, wouldn’t trade my coach for anyone. But please stop acting like he’s perfect.
We don’t hang banners for that at Kentucky. Would you like us to start?
How ******ed are you? You posted your original question 30 seconds before you typed this one Laughing
