Right now I would take the guy at Missouri. Like the way the team plays and like his demeanor

In my opinion, anyone who thinks coach Pitino is washed up is badly mistaken. When he moves up, after this season, we'll see.Originally posted by KCKUKFan View Post"There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it behooves us all not to talk about the rest of us."

Maybe not washed up, but certainly too old to be taking the reigns of a power like Kentucky. He's what, 75?Originally posted by Matt Dillon View PostComment

Heβs 70. Calipari is 64.Comment

The point remains. Too old.Originally posted by matt colvin View Post
And after his embarrassing stint at Louisville, I'm not sure why any self-respecting Kentucky fan would want him anywhere around our program anyway.Comment

True, and I sure don't want him. But with the downward trend of our beloved program, fans are so fed up we're looking everywhere for anybody who bring us back. Stubborn Cal is done.Originally posted by KCKUKFan View Post
Cal doesn't like the SEC tournament and is insensitive to all the UK fans who spend their money to support our team better than any other team. Selfish and stubborn!!!John 3:3

Kentuckyβs going to have to find a new coach that is no older than Calipari when we hired him. Early 50βs at most. JVC has aged 25 years in the 14 years heβs been here.Originally posted by KCKUKFan View PostComment

He famously despises the SEC tournament, but when the ball is tipped he's just as competitive in those games as he ever was. Let's not forget that he has won more SEC tournaments (6) than almost any other team, even though he hates them. With that said, his record in the SEC tournament (and overall) in the past three years is Not Good. Washed, I believe the kids say.Originally posted by Lighthouse View PostComment

Cal has always said he hates the tournament, but the guy dominated it for the first few years. Not so much lately, which is symbolic of our program as a whole.
That game last night reminded me of St. Peter's. We actually had a defensive gameplan to start: we were backing up off their drivers, giving a lot of berth, and Vandy began the game confused. When they hit two or three threes our gameplan immediately changed and that's when those driving lanes opened up.
Should have stuck with that sloughing defense up top. One throughline of Cal's tenure is that he seems to panic as the game is going on--the only evidence you need for that is how tight the team tends to play late in games and how those free throws start to find the rim. That's a constant for virtually all of Cal's teams in March.
In the first game last night Buzz Williams saw that Arkansas was winning the paint and he went zone. It changed the game. TAMU just flat took it over. In our game we had no answer for what Vandy was doing...which is weird because they were doing the very same thing last week in Rupp. A good coach learns.Comment

Does UK still have the 70 yo mand. ret. age thing?Originally posted by matt colvin View Post"There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it behooves us all not to talk about the rest of us." Robert Louis StevensonComment

I'll be honest, I was irritated mad as heck last night and sipped a little too much bourbon π π€£ πOriginally posted by KCKUKFan View Post
I will always be a Pitino fan on the court but at age 70, I agree he's not the answer. The fact we missed free-throws and shot poorly doomed us...
Will try to get myself psyched up one more game but afraid this team is going to lay another egg...Comment

We shot well enough to win.Originally posted by KentuckyWild2020 View Post
Can't give up 80 in the postseason and think you're going to win. This team has never bought into or understood what its defensive identity is.Comment

Don't do that to yourself. This team is DOA.Originally posted by KentuckyWild2020 View Post
