Anyone can coach the likes of Anthony Davis, John Wall, Demarcus Cousins and numerous other top level players. When the top talent isn’t what you thought they were going to be it’s tough isn’t it.

Its almost like having to coach when the NCAA found out you paid players with cancer kid money and let a rape ring run across your team
Not so easy is it

Calipari is not a fraud. Wait until Coach "strong arse offer" is teed up

How’s he a fraud? He’s exactly what everyone has always thought of him as, a great recruiter, a great promoter of his program, and an absolutely average game day coach.

I do not say this to knock my Kentucky friends... but he's right.
You have to go back to John Wooden (whose teams were quietly filled with players who had "strong arse offers") to find someone who could recruit as well as Calipari.
That having been said, Calipari has his issues as an in game coach. He's a bit too reliant on his teams just rolling out there with too much talent to contend with.
Other than this year that is a strategy that has worked out fairly well for him. He might not have as many Nattys as folks would like but Calipari has put up video game seasons in terms of win totals.

When someone needs a good marigold yellow crayon recipe, we’ll ask for your opinion on things we know you’re well versed on. Until then, stfu about things you aren’t.

Not that we haven't had our share of transgressions, but the double standard where UCLA gets treated like a bunch of saints....their entire dynasty run is tainted.

The problem is no one gives a frick outside of hardcore college basketball fans. "Oh...they won more titles...well they're the best." They bought those players. All of them. I'm fine with us getting heat for point shaving or paying players. We did it. We shouldn't have. That's fine. But we own it. UCLA gets absolutely dick in the way of heat over their bullshite because they got away with it. A decade of SMU meets Cam Newton and no one bats a fricking eye.

Indeed. Wooden, who was, by all accounts, a nice guy, still built that incredible run on players who had been bought and sold. Did he know about it?
You have to ask yourself how could he not know about it? Wooden was the ultimate details guy. The guy kept track of how often his players wore their sneakers to make sure they didn't get worn out. Yet he didn't notice a decade of payoffs?
Does anyone here believe that he somehow just never caught on? I think its like, though not as loathsome, Joe Paterno at Penn State. He knew something was going on but he turned a blind eye to the problem and kept giving off that holier than thou attitude.

We are missing Kenny Payne bigly. He was the coach who prepared the game plans and got the players ready.

That being said, my issue isn't that. It's how they get a pass for that and we get crucified. The media has always had it's favorites.
You're a Hog. You gonna tell me that SMU was the dirtiest program in the SWC, but Texas wasn't filthy. Oklahoma may have been in the Big 8 but Barry Switzer was running a damned circus. Where's the outrage?
bullshite double standards is what I'm salty about.

Everybody was cheating in the SWC. Everybody. The Longhorns were dirtier than anyone, but everyone was cutting corners left and right. You had to. Once Texas really started to splash the cash on recruits you had to cheat just as much, if not more, than they were or you were hopelessly screwed in the arms race.
But it was SMU that got hung out to dry and their program destroyed. Yeah, they were cheating, and they were blatantly cheating, but everyone was in the SWC.
While they didn't get slapped with a ruler at least everyone back then acknowledged that Oklahoma was dirtier than a sewage pipe. The media at least talked about it. Maybe in hushed whispers, but they did.
The team in the Big 8 that got away scot-free was Nebraska. Everyone loved to fawn over the Cornhuskers even though there were rampant steroid allegations, lots of player misconduct quietly swept under the rug, and one of the more blatant end runs around NCAA rules.
"You can only give out so many athletic scholarships for football? Fine, we will sign any players from Nebraska to an agriculture scholarship and have them play as walk ons. Letting us use the bulk of our football scholarships for out of state players." And no one said diddly about this.
