Defend these arguments now! "Cal can't coach."

Observing Wrote:Don't you think it's a little more likely that Cal has ALWAYS been
a better coach than his rep suggests? Do you think he only became a student of the game here? Or that said wealth of information is only available
when you're AT Kentucky? Certainly he's leveraged UK's advantages for all
their worth. And hopefully he is a better coach than he was 3 years ago,
as no doubt Duke fans hope about coach K for instance. But maybe,
JUST MAYBE, the improvement isn't so marked. Maybe, just MAYBE,
folks are seeing that Cal was a pretty good coach all along.

Cal was weak in half court offense, that was one of the main reasons his first team at UK didn't win a title. Cal started using parts of coach RUPP's old guard around offense in 2011 with Brandon Knight. Rupp's offense is similar to the dribble drive because it is a read an react offense. By studing coach Rupps methods and system Cal was able to improve his own system and methods. Just being at Kentucky has improved Cal as a coach. Joe B Hall is the man that suggested Cal study Rupp's offense. If you don't believe me just study game tape and you will see. The "Kentucky effect" that Cal spoke of will become clear to you. So just being at UK had helped Cal become a better X & O coach.
