I could whoop both your asses @AuHoosier420 @Kevin Bryan
I was stuffed in a locker in 6th grade by a 17-year-old @AuHoosier420 that was repeating 6th grade for the 5th time.
nah it occured in my 3rd timearound. You cockblocked me from getting a HJ from Sally Smith
I'd rather have a guy like Pope personally, but let's not get ahead of ourselves and compare a coach that was at the center of college basketball for like 10 years and has a title, with a guy thats just starting his journey. It's not fair to either coach.
Cmon man I don't believe that. I think he STILL cares about Kentucky. Calipari at Arkansas feels a bit like Spurrier at South Carolina IMO. He has to pretend not to care to do his job. We'll see what he says after he retires.
The difference is Spurrier left on his own for the NFL and fudged up.
Young man, I started school in the 60's, when I got to high school they had a typing class, but any guy in it was considered a puss. Wish I was one of them now!!

St Johns losing was a big win for Tennessee. losing to Nova is a bad loss should keep them off our ass. The 3 teams we need to lose were St Johns,Purdue, and Texas A&M. 2 lost now we get A&M for ourselves next saturday
He wanted the UK job bad before he got it, but his true passion is the NBA and taking credit for getting kids drafted.
He used UK for the stage, eventually he didn’t even try to hide the fact that the NBA was more important than UK.
It was a fun ride for a good 10 years, but he got fat and lazy and thought he was bigger than the program. Glad he's gone, now we have a guy that is about UK AND the players.
you think Steve Spurrier at Florida would say that the nfl draft is what matters most?
if we beat Vandy and Houston loses on the road to Arizona this may be the new top 6
Auburn
Bama
Florida
Duke
Texas A&M
Tennessee

I mean isn't the fact that Calipari cared about his kids getting drafted the reason the best players came to UK? I just don't think Calipari even right now doesn't care about the UK program. He looked truly hurt when they booed him.
I just want to throw a shoutout to South Carolina and specifically Murray-Boyles for going hard every game. That dude is giving it his all every second he's in that game until the very end. It would be really really easy to quit and just think about transferring etc.
Anyways add Ole Miss to the teams that snuck away from Colombia with a W.

leaving for is far different than saying the draft is more important than what happens in games. Spurrier also says he regretted ever leaving Florida
You can care about the kids and still fit team play and team goals in there somewhere ahead of the NBA draft.
He turned UK into an NBA farm system. When you walked into the facility, all you saw was all his NBA guys plastered all over the walls in their NBA gear. Not UK gear, NBA gear.
Then there was the Pro days before and after the season. The whole focus was about the NBA and getting to the next level as fast as possible. So kids that weren't ready for the next level left, no matter what. There wasno continuity and Cal was good with that. He wanted to fillthe NBA with kids that were going to the NBA no matter what. He takes tge credit for getting them there. Yeah, AD and Wall needed his help… eyeroll.
It was never about UK, it was about individual goals and accomplishments. Oh sure, it works when you get John Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe, Knight, Randle, MKG, AD, Nerlens, Towns, Monk and Fox, but Cal stopped getting those guys and it all went to shit.
You think it’s cool, until it's happening at your school. We knew there was an issue in 2010 when Cal made the statement on draft night "this is the greatest night in UK history". Yeah… ..no.
We would have been fine if Cal did that instead of turning UK into an NBA g-league team.
Let me ask you something how old are you? What era of UK basketball was most fun for you as a fan?
