Interesting Quotes from The Kittens' Coach

[GoVols15]

I know, who would want to play at Kentucky? No basketball history there. The academic standards are much higher than places like Duke and UNC. The coach is an unheard of no-name with no NBA or college experience and not real good at Xs and Os either. His players have been a total fluke in the NBA and got no benefit from his coaching in college. It's also Cal's fault the one and done rule is in effect at all, b/c clearly he's conspiring with the NCAA (and ESPN) so he can take advantage of that rule, but no other team can. And according to you he cheats, despite constantly being in the spotlight (ESPN loves him, right?), so it's understandable how all these naive parents would just ship their kids off to this guy and hope for the best. Says a lot about these parents. You and your keen insight must know something all those parents, investigative reporters, and the NCAA doesn't -- or maybe they all like Cal so much that they are collectively putting their heads in the sand and refusing to take action against him. And what does it say about Kentucky itself? The school, having had no prior success, must be so disparate for wins, and there must be so few honest top coaching hires out there that would be "willing" to coach at a no-name basketball school like Kentucky for millions, that Kentucky I guess is just willing to settle on Cal and take the risk of NCAA sanctions.

I'm not a Kentucky fan, at all, but your statement is so canned and dumb it is worthy of comment. Your statement smacks of jealousy and is an EXCUSE for why UT doesnt compete on a consistent level. Or maybe it's a reflection of how you go about not achieving you own goals in your own life -- so and so scored better than me on the test, or so and so got the raise at work and I didn't, or so and so got the prettier girl that I wanted -- they MUST be cheating b/c I'm so great and so there couldn't possibly be any other explanation.

Congrats to UT for beating Kentucky. Even though Kentucky is a wounded dog, a win is a win over Kentucky and UT should be proud. With that said, overstatement of the universe if you think this win is somehow going to be "the moment" that turns UTs season around, gets recruiting up, and is the start of the downfall of Cal at Kentucky.:twocents:

You sir have cited good points except for one point! Why can't Coach K and other well known coaches even come close? Huuuuum! Maybe something else is going on here? Further, your insults show your childish and inability to discuss opinions without insults. Grow up bro it's not personal. I detect a Kensucky fan in disguise!

So when Butch starts pulling in 4*s & 5*s we should become worried?

Simply put, No! If CBJ pulls in about 90% 5* and 10% 4* and no other college program is even close, YES!

 

[GoVols15]

Let it go dude. You guys crack me up with your accusations. Just enjoy the win. You have no proof whatsoever that Cal is cheating. Hatred for a team does not equal proof.

Glad I made you laugh! I enjoyed the win and I don't hate anyone or any team. Just suspect, with no proof, that Cal is a little fishy with regards to his recruiting practices based upon the quality athletes he has recruited along with his past history at other schools. Just an opinion, why are you so concerned? Huuuuum! A Kensucky fan?

 

[GoVols15]

Ladies and Gentlemen I believe I have sighted a Troll.

You are quite correct sir!

 

[rwrose]

Cal is not a bad X's and O's coach.

Tiger High and Mario Chalmers beg to differ

It's idiots like you that make the college basketball world stupid as hell.

It's Kensucky fans like you that make me PROUD to be a Vol fan. Wait until the recruiting investigation opens and then what will you say? Go purr a little quieter Kensucky, you got a good old fashion BEAT DOWN from the mighty Vols, live with it!

lol::lolabove:lol::lolabove::good!:

I'm happy that UT got their chance to wipe the floor with us. Clearly you needed it lol.

Best of luck toward tourney time :hi:

Oh yeah. One game in a 24 year career. I'm guessing I couldn't ever find a game as the antithesis to your assertion.

GoVols be crazy.

Knowing that Kensucky got a total BEAT DOWN by the Vols already made my year! To go from #1 to total melt down in LESS THAN A YEAR must really hurt! Knowing that this 30 point beat down cost Kensucky getting into the tournament is plenty enough for me. However, your concern is very much appreciated. See you pussy cats on the football field next! I can't wait! You guys still have a football team, don't you?

Quit SMOKING the cat nip, it is not good for your health!

By the way, from reading your signature line, life must be pretty hard for you!

You take things wayyyy to seriously dude. And losing to UT shouldn't cost us the tourney, we still have some chances to beat good teams.

I can't wait for the football game next year. It actually should be fun imo. Looking forward to seeing Butch and Stoops go at it. Good luck.

And no, I think after winning a national championship (8th in school history...but who's counting?) can buy one bad year for me. And if you haven't noticed...our "total meltdown" of a year is still better than your season so far. But in all honesty, next year UT and UK should be really fun.

Just relax dude and enjoy the win :hi:

No, just having a little fun at Kensucky fans expense. Have to admit it was a little frustrating when you started hurling insults at Vol fans.

If you know me at all, then you should realize I'm just joking most of the time. I support the vols whenever they don't play UK.

I don't mind the gloating. It's fun!

You are a better man than me. I'd still be arguing with him were it me in your shoes. Impressive display of restraint, my friend. Haha.

So if you support Tennessee, you must direct your hatred toward Louisville. Am I correct?

Seriously, what do you think about UK's struggles. The recruits a bust? System? Just young? During the game the commentators were talking about how crazy it is to expect this group of freshmen to win championships just because the last group Cal had did. Im not sure if UT played that great or UK played that bad. Prolly some of both.

LittleCat, I will take you at your word. I too do not really take anything in sports seriously. In fact, one quote I like from a Vol fan is "The most important unimportant thing in life is Tennessee football" or basketball whatever the case may be. It's just when you start calling people "idiots" like above you are taking the fun to a personal level and that is not good. I accept your explanation and hope we can communicate on a "fun" but not personal level in the future. GO VOLS!

Hey, I restrain myself pretty well considering the negativity that's directed at UK here. I understand why and don't complain about it usually. I've been called worse.

It's a lot of things combining. We've been spoiled with the freshman. Sure we're disappointed, but it's inevitable with Cals system.

Even it's a joke, that was still a stupid post the way I see it. I don't see a lot of this as fun anyway. It's just having interesting discussions with a different mindset than myself. Whether it's you or anyone else in the forums, it's no problem.

Thanks.

No my first post was NOT a joke. Cal does not have a good track record with regards to Integrity and Basketball, a fact not opinion. While he coached other schools, again with no integrity, he still did not pull in the caliber of players he does at Kentucky, again another fact. The two facts simply make me a little suspicious. Not a direct hit on Kentucky, just the coach.

I appreciate your response but you did get personal and call me an idiot for expressing an opinion based upon the facts above. With that said, have a little "fun" but again please don't get personal. It's not becoming of any fan. Go Vols!
