I said I’d be surprised if they didn’t give him time to right the ship. At least another season or two. Once their AD started publicly expressing his displeasure, though, you knew it was nasty. Like all relationships, once ultimatums start getting tossed around you know it’s in dire straits. I still think Cal is a good coach and he can definitely attract talent. Could put together a couple all star teams with guys that stopped for a cup of coffee in Lexington.

If you believe what you read from local sources, Cal has been distant from everyone since 2015. He was able to separate the basketball program from the rest of the athletics dept, and things had apparently gotten very disorganized. All the good people left, and Cal couldn't manage it all, and it showed on the scoreboard.
Cal is a good coach, but he's much better at recruiting than X's and O's. Talent only wins you so much, and obviously that shows up in March.

With that said, his ego will force him to focus at Arky to try to win some games instead of just funnel players to the NBA. I think this is good for you, and good for us.
