John Calipari (official thread of impending probation)

[NFBuck]

Most overrated coach in sports.

That 1-and-4 set with Harrison iso to end the last several minutes was bad.

Take the ball out of Towns' hands. Galactically stupid.

I'm going to say this in the best way I know how:

FUCK JOHN CALIPARI

In 2 years they're gonna vacate this loss...

I think he was named AP coach of the year yesterday I think that perhaps Bo Ryan enjoying that today. As mentioned above, his lack of getting the ball inside to Towns was just stupid.

I might be wrong but the cheater might not have it so easy with regard to recruiting with Avery Johnson taking the position at Bama. They all can throw money around so I might become a bigger money grab conference. I just think that Johnson might give Cal a little run for his money when it comes to recruiting the top level talent.

Calipari to the Hall of Fame. Reportedly was booed heavily when announced in Indianapolis.

He's slimy, but its the NBA that fucks up college basketball, not Calipari. Well, he fucks it up a little too. But not as much as the NBA...

When World Wide Wes is behind your bench, or by your side at AAU games, you're fucking up college basketball.

People get on Calipari for "one and dones" while Dook just won a title with 4 freshmen leading the way (at least two of which will be one and done). The NBA - and its players' union - created that mess.

 

[LitlBuck]

Possibly 5-7 guys might be one and done from his team and I do not think all of them will be NBA draft picks. Could not happen to a better program..

 

[LitlBuck]

Only 7 guys are leaving early. That is ridiculous from one school. I think something might be going on down there

Calipari has one of the worst ratios of F4 appearances to national titles, Izzo is the only coach who has a worse ratio that I can think of that's made it several times. But the difference is Cal has had a lot more NBA draft picks on those teams compared to Izzo.

Yep. My point exactly. Year in and year out, Calipari has rosters stacked with NBA players. Every year he's been there, an argument could be made that he has the most talented team in the country. And he has one ring in six years. The same number as Tubby Smith. That points to a guy that can recruit (buy?), but is lacking in the coaching/team building department. There's a reason this guy was a giant flop in the nba.
