Did Keno Davis not compete with those coaches last year too?

How many games did he win against those guys? The fact he faced the easiest possible road one could in the Big East and failed to make the NCAAs with better talent then he'll ever assemble himself means one thing. He'll never, ever make the 'AAs at Providence. He needs to thank God South Florida is in the league.

I think you missed some words there.

The only top flight Big East team they faced twice last year was 'Nova.

Their conference schedule couldn't have been easier if they had been allowed to draw it up themselves and he still failed to make the NCAA Tournament. Good luck now that all of those seniors are gone and the scheduling wheel isn't so kind. Maybe Drake will take him back in four years.

If you can't follow that route, there are some here who will hail you as the next big thing if you have a father who was a consistently so so coach for a thousand years, have one big year in a second tier conference, then take a senior laden team with a soft conference schedule and still manage to miss the NCAA Tournament.

My father consistently fielded dominant Jr Pro Basketball and Little League Baseball teams in Western Kentucky in his only gigs as head coach.

Does that qualify? If not, I'm probably going to have to give up the dream and fall back on that handy law degree.

Nick Saban hasn't won a National Title at Alabama yet and he's already gotten Fulmer and Tuberville fired. Simply beating Florida and Tennessee regularly will suffice to convince Donovan he needs a new challenge and to convince Bruce to take whatever second tier job the Pump Brothers can set him up with, since having Indiana and Arizona laugh in their faces has given them a pretty good idea of how much regard ADs at real basketball schools have for Pearl's act.

Who was LSU's head coach in 2003?

And if Cal runs off Bruce Pearl, who is the dragging this UT program along with last place finishes in the SEC every year, wouldn't UT just re-load and get a better coach? It's not like Cal would run UT as a whole out of the SEC.

And Saban ran off Fulmer for what? To deal with Lane Kiffin?

If Cal does enough by 2011 to run off Pearl and Donovan, then he better get ready to receive some of his own medicine once Florida and UT bring out the checkbooks to get a guy to get rid of that clown.

How does Big East scheduling work? Play two teams twice and everyone else once?

Calipari inherited a program at UMASS that had the worst winning percentage in D-I the previous ten years. Then, at Memphis, he got to try and compete with Huggs, Crean, Pitino, et al while simultaneously trying to clean up the Tic Price mess. BCG took over a UTEP team with 8 scholarship players in September and a Texas A&M team that won exactly 0 conference games the previous year. Davis had as easy a schedule as one could humanly have in the Big East last season and a senior dominated roster. He missed the NCAA Tournament, which he will do for the next four year and be fired. Bruce Pearl took over from Bo Ryan at Milwaukee. He failed to win an absolutely pathetic SEC last season.

I think you like to twist your opinion into facts to support your obvious bias of Coach Pearl.

Sexual misconduct with a coed is mess? Calipari did not go into any worse of a situation than Bruce Pearl walked into at Tennessee. Yes Tennessee did underachieve last season slightly but I also feel that they overachieved the first three years at Tennessee.

You bring up BCG first year at UTEP but failed to mention that he didnt make the tourney last season at one of the Meccas of college basketball in as you put it a very weak SEC.

Keno may not make the tourney at Providence but have you seen the conference he is competing in. There are only so many spots available but I would not count him out. He also had a 10-6 conference record last season in the toughest conference in the country.

I have stated before that I have no love with Cal now that he is at Kentucky, but some of this crap is ridiculous. He is a great coach who happens to be at a rival school.

Actually he was 10-8, and the noncon was awful. They played exactly one good team, and they lost.

How many of those 10 wins were against the NCAA Tournament teams from the Big East and how many were against the DePauls and South Floridas of the world?

And Notre Dame, and Cincinnati, and Seton Hall, and Georgetown, and St. Johns, and Rutgers, and Depaul.. YOu know.. the teams he finished ahead of in his first season in the Big East.

Wait and see how many of them he finishes ahead of this year without Tim Welsh's players.

Didn't Kentucky start slow much of last year as well? I think I remember that being the case. If we want to pull out a win we must start strong and take advantage, easier said than done.

Well let's see.. I'm counting two. Beating Syracuse and Pitt in you first season in the big east is pretty impressive.

Didn't those players get Tim Welsh fired after only winning 6 conferences games?

He did manage to beat the number one team in the country Pittsburgh and Syracuse during the season.

He had a good first season, im not sure how good of a coach he will be in the future and neither do you!

emainvol you are right 10-8, thanks for fixing my error.

They also had their internal organs handed to them by West Virginia, Notre Dame, Louisville x2, 'Nova, Baylor and lost to Northeastern to start the year. Not a terribly impressive resume.

Billy Gillispie got blown out by Vandy two years in a row. Beat by Division 2 level teams to start the season two years in a row. Is that impressive?

Louisville, the #1 overall seed in the tourney last season, got exposed big time by Notre Dame last year as well.

We aren't talking about BCG, we are talking about Keno Davis. He isn't a good coach, end of story.
