November 21, 20178 yr The potential for this team defensively is what gives me hope they could win a few games in the tournament. I agree and think that they could be a very good pressing team. Last night, the t.v. commentators mentioned that Cal had said that he wanted to press, see how they looked but that didn't happen.
November 21, 20178 yr Yes, it's November and a bunch of freshmen and inexperienced sophomores and juniors are 4-1 overall. They competed with Kansas and had opportunities to win and have beaten a couple of solid mid-major teams. It's a process that fans should understand by now. It takes a minute to bring high school kids into the next level. Well said my friend.
November 22, 20178 yr With Cal the Great in charge this team will get no better throughout this season......would like to see what a real coach could do with this bunch and previous teams Cal has destroyed
November 22, 20178 yr The SEC is going to be one of the best conferences in America this season Agreed, I think the SEC will end up either being the 3rd or 4th best league, which is an improvement from where it has been recently.
November 22, 20178 yr With Cal the Great in charge this team will get no better throughout this season......would like to see what a real coach could do with this bunch and previous teams Cal has destroyed Yea his teams never improve throughout the year. Come on you know better than that.

November 22, 20178 yr Yea his teams never improve throughout the year. Come on you know better than that. Not the coach for me when it comes down to actually making changes offensively and defensively throughout the season and post season......has never, ever done that well and this year will be no different.....talks about making changes and never happens....just trying to pacify BBN and then goes back to his very limited knowledge of coaching and does the same ole dribble drive and man defense.....this team needs some real guidance and Cal just isn't the answer
November 22, 20178 yr ^ :lol2: It never gets old. Oh yeah it actually does. Same as the last 8 years you have been saying those things.
November 22, 20178 yr ^ :lol2: It never gets old. Oh yeah it actually does. Same as the last 8 years you have been saying those things.What has Cal done to make you a fan of his......Am I totally wrong with my analysis of his coaching attributes or are you just a typical Cal is great guy?
November 22, 20178 yr What has Cal done to make you a fan of his......Am I totally wrong with my analysis of his coaching attributes or are you just a typical Cal is great guy? I HATE UK but I will say you are wrong with your analysis. While I don't think Cal is the best x-and-o guy there is, he can coach. To take new players every year and more often than not make a deep run tells you right there he can coach. You look at how his team are vastly improved after "Camp Cal" (or whatever he calls it) and that tells you he can coach. Has he had some mess ups? He has. What coach hasn't?
November 22, 20178 yr What has Cal done to make you a fan of his......Am I totally wrong with my analysis of his coaching attributes or are you just a typical Cal is great guy? If I could interject nikeman49, He too has frustrated me in the past. But I give a lot of slack because I remember the frustrating years of the late 00's and UK is as productive as ever in results. 1 Title, 3 other Final Fours, 2 other Elite Eights out of 8 years. That's pretty good. I still think his loyalty to the Harrisons at the end of the Game cost the 2015 title, and having no ability to zone UConn in '14 truly hurt. But then I recall how fortunate the wins were for the 2014 run. And even Bobby Knight and Dean Smith and Coach K have lost with the "best team" in the tourney far shorter than the Final Four. I think this will be a great challenge but 2011 and 2014 taught me to not count out Cal's teams. :thumb:

November 22, 20178 yr I respect your opinion and insight......we shall see on this year Yeah, I've been wrong enough to know that it could be a long season too. Have a great Turkey day nikeman!!
