The number of threads is almost laughable about the SAME subjects that fit in 2 dozen other threads

Most people on here are going to say Cal, just bc he's UKs new coach, but realisticly how could you not take Pitino? He's accomplished much more.

So have Bobby Knight and John Wooden. The trick is to get the guy who is likely to accomplish more in the future.

Pitino hasn't won a title in over a decade!! He also choked in this years tournament.. So what makes him so great??? I'm just curious.

Has Cal ever won a title?
Btw, Cal has chocked quite a bit in the tourney too. What happened to his Memphis team last year?

Ridge Runner · 04-07-2009, 02:19 AM

I'm happy with Cal for now. Ask me in 2 years. When we're ready to fire him....LOL.

**TATE_64** · 04-07-2009, 11:01 AM

Coach Cal....

Throwdown · 04-07-2009, 11:56 AM

Id want Calipari, he has more hype than Pitino and makes sure things are done right

Take it easy big man. :biggrin: I didn't say anything about Calipari being great or even good. All I was wanting is a answer to what makes Pitino so good when hasn't won the big game since 1996??

fanatic11 · 04-07-2009, 03:00 PM

If I had to choose then I would say Pitino, but I'm ok with Calipari also.

Protect_This_House26 · 04-07-2009, 03:06 PM

Pitino most def.

Why all the negative bull crap from you all the time. You and everyone else was all up in the air over Calipari coming to UK, now that he's here lets not start downing the guy. Coach Cal is a great coach, probably the best coach UK couln't have gotten. What happened to Rick in 1997?? Did he choke?? No, he ddn't choke either. Coaches are not on the floor playing the game. Cal didn't choke last year his players did. Had they made a few free throws they win easliy. Give it a break MR. Negative.:redboxer:

How could he have choked, I never seem him take a shot the whole game.

They would have a better chance to win it if he did take some shots!! Samuals and Williams got shut down completly!! Confused

Calipari was out of the college game for 2 years as well while he was with the Nets.

***zaga_fan*** · 04-08-2009, 01:38 PM

I'd say Pitino just based on his track record in college....
but I'm really excited to see what Cal can do for us
He has had some incredible teams and recruits at Memphis and I bet he will only do better at UK if they give him the time

Mr.Rainman · 04-08-2009, 01:46 PM

Pitino might would be better. All I can say is, anyone's better than Billy G.
