Man should win coach of the year. Kentucky did what they were supposed to do. We did the completely unexpected. I thought eleventh was a little tough, I said maybe seven or eight. Second is beyond amazing.
Wait until the end of the season, then raise and extend. This could keep other teams from even thinking about calling. Like UCLA if Howland gets axed.
I hate Calipari, but he deserves COY. Talent without coaching produces wins, but not championships. Calipari was able to make them play as a cohesive unit very, very quickly.
Saying that they were "supposed" to do this means you assumed that they were going to be 1 point away from perfection. With so many new players, the only way you can expect that is due to phenomenal coaching.
I feel sick.
The media pundits who feign surprise that the Vols finished strong are either overlooking or forgetting the fact that UTs schedule was front-loaded. No one should be surprised that the Vols winning percentage improved as the season progressed, especially since the addition, and maturation, of Stokes.
