[Hoot Gibson]

New transfer rules have exposed bad coaches like Calipari for what they are - unscrupulous recruiters whose success depends almost entirely on how well their recruits have been coached before stepping foot on campus. Oscar Tshiebwe was well coached before he stepped foot on UK's campus. I am not sure that he was not a better player when last season began than he is now. Calipari takes credit for sending players to the NBA, who were ready for the NBA (or G-League) when they arrived in Lexington.

Cal's is in the Hall of Fame. 

Fans who bash their players and coaches 95% of the time belong in the Hall of Shame.

People who defend overpaying incompetent coaches from taxpayer funds belong in the Hall of Shame. Like Jet said, Calipari would have already been the former UK basketball coach had he not been signed to a lifetime contract for an obscenely high salary. Cal was a mediocre NBA coach, at best, and two colleges who employed him have had NCAA Final Four appearances vacated as soon as he departed. Calipari has always been more of a shady manager than a basketball coach. And nobody is blaming UK's players for Calipari's failure to earn his keep.

They don't induct shady managers into the CBB HOF.

The evidence says that you are wrong. First of all, John Calipari is not in the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Secondly, Calipari is in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, along with the very shady Jerry Tarkanian and Rick Pitino.

The list of college basketball coaches who have ever had two Final Four/Championship tournament finishes vacated is a very short one. The difference between Rick Pitino and John Calipari is that Pitino is one of the greatest college basketball coaches in history and Calipari is not.
