Kentucky lost again

What no one ever talks about.

The problem isn't Cal. The problem isn't the players. The problem is Disney and Vegas. I am the biggest UK fan living. But when Vegas and Disney start doing as they always do. I stop putting my TV on any disney owned channels. So i havent watched the last 10 or so games. Not 1 second. Jason...

Full on meltdown over at Rupp Rafters and I'm personally enjoying every single thread.

This bozo is going full on conspiracy nut... It's not Cal's fault.... wait for it.... "IT'S DISNEY AND VEGAS" HAHAHAHA

I just hope this helps at SEC Tourney and the Ky fans don't show up in numbers this year and tickets will be a plenty.

I just hope their struggles continue to the point they run off Calipari and have a coaching search. It’s been proven time and again that replacing a “good” coach in hopes of hiring a “great” coach is a crap shoot. I’d suspect the personalities / boosters around the program are insufferable and will likely muck up the hiring process such that they take a step backwards with their next coach.

Yes they do, but anyone that's been around longer than a minute knows blueboys have benefited from the zebra love in Rupp Arena for decades.
So the irony that some KY fans think officials have been making questionable calls against the Wildcats for years is just laughable,
Some on their forum are proclaiming it's " always been KY Basketball against the referees"🤣

We do not want them moving on from Cal. Imagine Pearl or Oats at UK.

Tommy Lloyd (Arizona)
Shaka Smart (Marquette)
Scott Drew (Baylor)
Dusty May (FAU)

Is a short list of coaches who I think they could get and be better than Cal.

You mention Shaka Smart and I think he supports my position. Texas moved on from a very good coach to Smart only to have Smart perform at a lower level than the guy they moved on from. Smart is doing well at Marquette now but didn’t meet expectations at Texas. IMO, odds are whoever follows Calipari won’t do any better and quite possibly worse. They may luck up and catch lightning in a bottle, but they are just as likely to get a downgrade.

Shaka isn't leaving Marquette, he done found his home at that school.

Plus he learned his lesson when he jumped to Texas. Where he never accomplished anything.

I don’t think Kentucky would go after Pearl. He’s already 63. I think they would want to go younger. Tommy Llloyd just signed a massive contract extension and has it made at Arizona. Not sure why he’d leave to go to Kentucky other than ego. Which he doesn’t seem to have.

I could see Nate Oats jumping at the offer. But Alabama could match any monetary offer UK makes, so it would have to be just because of the name of Kentucky. Scott Drew probably makes the most sense.

Moving on from Cal seems like an impossible situation. Firstly, it would be insanely expensive. Second, the fanbase is so irrational, you'd have to be insane to want that job unless it was a major pay upgrade. So anyone that is in a comfortable pay range is likely not incentivized to be interested. Which means they could only lure an up-and-coming coaches at smaller schools.

Unless they did something like got Billy Donovan, who could be available soon.
