He gets hated on not just because of his recruits and all, but because every time he leaves a program they get left eating violations while he cakes up at the next stop. That and he embraced the one and done more than anyone and if you ask a college or NBA fan, they can't stand the one and done era (and it has forced a lot of other coaches to go that route just to win even though it hurts them--- like Coach K)

Every coach that has tried to emulate coach cals one and done style has failed. because people severely underestimate how difficult it is to get a group of freshman, even if they're the most talented players in their recruiting class to go deep in the NCAA tournament.

82% win rate at Kentucky 4 final four appearances in the past 6 years, two championship appearances. I guess that isn't consistently winning by your fukking retarded definition
one win ain't no damn consistently winning especially with the talent he gets. Dude is mad overrated

I completely agree, but phrasing it like that is silly
Also Calipari does this because he has the luxury of star recruits coming in every year
a coach of a smaller program is compelled to try and retain players
I think the transparency he has about players benefitting financially from one and done is why he succeeds at recruiting. I can't see any other reason one coach gets half of the top 10 high schoolers every damn year.

I wouldn't say they've all failed (Coach K won a ring with 4 freshmen, but Coach K detests it and tried to avoid it) but when teams win it with upperclassmen, they're gonna stunt that much more, so assuming UNC wins, you're gonna read a bunch of articles about how the one and done kids aren't in the final four and how teams need to reevaluate their recruiting and shyt

:patrice: couldve sworn i said championships
It's far easier for a dominant college basketball team to lose in the NCAAT then it is for a dominant football team to lose. stop comparing two completely different formats and sports. college football players also stay in school for longer there aren't a ton of one and done football players.

Did i bring up football? Breh is the one who brought up Saban. And if Saban had 1 ship with the talent he's accrued at Bama everyone would be looking at him funny

True, but they also got lucky that Wisconsin knocked us out that year, I think we had superior match-up to Duke
