I think Cal is a great coach and I’m proud of him and the team! I do hate the One and Done but that had nothing to do with this loss. The boys choked and that isn’t Cals fault. They’re young!
I hope Cal stays!

Edit: I am sick of wishy washy Ky fans. I’ve seen it since I was a kid. Now I’m 42 and nothing has changed. Stop saying you “Bleed Blue” when you can’t hang when the goin gets tough

I don’t think we change - maybe some strategy needs to change…but CAL does so much for UK…the players, fans, and the community. I think he can turn it around. Bad slump and it sucks - but as a UK fan in Knoxville….firing coaches doesn’t just fix all the problems

if Coach Cal is fired i guess we also expect a mass exodus of recruits for our 2025 season

I'll guarantee you there's not a single young man on our roster that agrees with most of the sentiments  expressed here by wishy washy UK fans. Our youngsters know that their coach had them primed for a deep run but they choked on their own putrid vomit . Guarantee that are 100% behind their coach. They know they are the reason for the failure, not the coach. Amazing that kids are often smarter than grown ass adults when it comes to simple logic. UK "fans", if that's what you call them are emotional basketcases.

Reunite Cal with Kenny Payne, convince a good number of these kids, including Reed, that they are not ready for professional ball, and run this thing back again, along with our top-ranked recruiting class , and we'll have a MUCH better chance at a Final Four than what you wishy washy fans are proposing. The cupboard will be bare next year if you people get what you think you want.

So this guy is fine with 1 NCAA Tournament win since 2019? He's fine with not winning SEC Tournaments? He's fine with Cal even saying he's not worried about BBN, winning titles or UK being the gold standard of college basketball and that he's more worried about getting players to the NBA then he is coaching UK?

The tough has been here since 2016 and nothing is gonna change, every year we hear "This is the best recruiting class Cal has had since he's been at UK" and what happens every year? They choke. 

If he's sick of wishy washy fans then he can go explain this to the Craft family because THEY ARE backing the buyout if Barnhart choses to go that way.
