How he didn't win it all with Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe and the squad they had last year :francis:

Still a really good coach imo. But he should have more than one championship. He should be doing what Saban is doing at Bama.

This guy is not a good coach breh. A good coach would find a way to maximum the talents of these recruits. I will never forget the Memphis v Kansas title game dude looked like a complete amateur when the game was on the line. I know Memphis missed some free throws and Kansas made shots but dude had no counter moves to stop what was happening.

I forgot he lost to the Shabazz Napier led UCONN squad too. Ollie was a 1st time HC. :francis:

That's comedy dog. Please name me one other coach who can take 5 freshman starters to the national championship game after having to go through 1 seed Wichita State, 4 seed Louisville, 2 seed Michigan and 2 seed Wisconsin. We had the HARDEST road possible to get to the national championship game with WILLIE fukkING CAULEY STEIN getting injured in the fukking Louisville game and Randle's ankle was hobbled against UCONN.

I was vehemently against the Heat drafting him, because I thought he was just a spot up shooter. Turns out like other UK talents(Towns and Davis), we only got to see a fraction of what they can do at college and Cal didn't showcase all of the facets of their games.
Ya he made randle look like reggie evans when dude has so much more to his game

Can't believe OKC passed on a young splash brother guard in the draft. Just the type of guy they need to spread the floor for them.:snoop:

I know his defense is not there yet but with time and patience, he might pan out to a decent two guard.

Can't believe they picked Cam over Booker. :snoop:

This isn't the old ncaa breh Cal isn't running into junior and senior lottery picks. Most of the talented players are leaving after there freshman year which is why a team like Wichita state has been able to compete for 1 seeds. Cal is bringing in 4-5 of the best high schoolers every year and he's not going up against super teams of the 80s 90s and early 2000s. Coach k won a title last year pulling a cal and hoarding elite freshmans and guess what he didn't choke.

Yeah

Calipari isnt doing anything special as a coach. His teams have crazy talent.

Ryan Mcdonough has drafted well. Booker with the 2015 13th pick, Warren with the 2014 14th pick, Len with the 2013 5th pick. It's a good core so far and another top 5 pick coming this summer.

Klay is a very good defender, don't know if Booker will ever be on his level. Idk why guys like Klay don't work on their handles a little, he would be so much better.

Freshman are still freshman talented or not, groups of juniors and seniors mixed with talented freshman are more dangerous then solely groups of freshman. Coach K is arguably the greatest college coach in the history of the game so it's hilarious that you're using him as an example of Cal failing. Cal always has the youngest team in the country, we've also had season ending injuries to really key players. Cal is a hall of fame coach as much as you all want to down play his accomplishments because he gets a lot of talented recruits. Every year we are in the hunt to win the championship and opposing fan bases don't want to play us in March and that's all I can ask for from a coach. Even when we don't win it all I have memories I'll never forget like Aaron Harrison's game winners against Louisville, Michigan, and Wisconsin. Brandon Knight's buzzer beater to send us to the final four. I wouldn't want any other coach in the country.
