Calipari

[bystander]

Ok... he goes Elite 8 in his first year at Kentucky, loses 5 players that go in the first round of the draft and now he's in the Final Four AND he has four 5-star players coming in next year. Are we to assume there is massive cheating going on or is this a show of what an elite coach can do when the tradition is there?

 

[CanaTigers]

Calipari can be accused of many things but underachieving should not be one of them.

 

[bystander]

Well whatever is going on color me impressed....

 

[Third Coast]

I can't speak to his ethics, but I will say his coaching ability is quite impressive.

 

[Bigtex112]

Add me to the list of the impressed. I think he's dirty as hell based on his path of destruction but the guy can coach 'em once he's paid for 'em.

Yeah, I have heard rumors of the gym bags full of $$$ run rampant out of Cal's programs, but you have to coach 'em once you get 'em.

Barnes could learn a thing or two from Cal (about the coaching, not the cheating...).

Dribble-drive is a dirty word to Barnes. Well, and we never have the guard personnel for it.

At some point, this Final Four appearance will suffer teh same fate as his 2 previous appearances -- vacated.

 

[bullzak]

Cals teams have always played much more sound defense than they ever get credit for. That Memphis team that beat Texas was a defensive monster.

Hes a cheater but he can coach some too.

 

[ViperHorn]

With his resume, we know at some point he will be at either aggy, baylor or ou.

 

[FWHORN]

He may have the ethics of an alley cat but the man can coach.

Still lets see if in five years this final four appearance is still on his record, if so it will be his first.
