I know it's difficult for you, OSH, to admit that you're incorrect, but this time you are. The Granny Bears will NOT be back in fans of the BBN until something significant is done about our problem. I didn't even watch yesterday's fiasco and I'm thankful that I didn't.
I'm not sure what has happened in your life to make you so insecure about people who believe in God. To mix that statement, "If you want to be primed for a deep March run, you can't be depending on guys who were raised on stories of Noah's Ark and Lot's wife(she was rather salty , anyways). Those type of kids might lead you to a revival meeting but not to a Final Four." in with your post makes no sense to me at all.
Now you've asked what exactly Cal did to deserve this hostility.
1-He's not an x & o coach on the bench, relies on his assistants
2-He's not concerned with the heritage of Kentucky basketball, which by the way is paying his millions. He's much more interested in getting individuals to the pros, whether or not they're ready
3-He does not prepare, not does he have his assistants prepare, our team for the upcoming games. Case in point, UK vs Oakland
4-He recruits well, but is now saying he will no longer recruit Freshman because our team at an average age of 20 just had to play a team that averages an age of 24-25. So #4 is that he makes excuses and makes senseless statements like this one.
5-He takes NO accountability. None. Nada. Zero. Everything else and everybody else is at fault, but not the Coach.
If the Coach has no accountability, what the hell are we paying him millions of dollars for? He certainly takes the credit for victories!!
And I'm NOT alone in my opinion!!
USA Today
It’s time for college basketball’s premier program and the sport's most underachieving coach to go their separate ways and do something different.
The Athletic
The question Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart must now answer is as simple as it is complicated: What is the price of the program’s dignity? What’s it worth to expel a Hall of Fame coach who can neither recapture the magic nor ever offer even a coherent theory as to why?
Courier Journal
While coaches of Calipari’s stature and pedigree don’t often get fired, even from a program as storied and demanding as Kentucky, the Wildcats’ postseason struggles have at least prompted fans to angrily wonder whether a change at the helm of the program is necessary.
Wildcat Blue Nation
When Kentucky got sent to Pittsburgh as the No. 3 seed in the South Region, it was a homecoming for John Calipari, Adou Thiero, and Tre Mitchell, but after the Oakland Golden Grizzlies upset the Wildcats 80-76, Big Blue Nation would prefer that Coach Cal stays home for good.
There's a ton more, but it would do no good to list any more. I doubt you will even read them, let alone take them seriously.
Now, my point......
I've answered YOUR question to the very best of my ability. Now I would appreciate if you would reciprocate.
Tell me.
1-What has Cal done right?
2-What has Cal done wrong?
3-When has Cal accepted responsibility for anything negative without throwing our kids under the damn bus first?
4-ANY areas you think Cal should improve?
Now Cal wants to recruit post grads to play. Hopefully he won't take your suggestions to look toward those who are one step out of prison.
