February 1, 201016 yr I do believe that the players talk and interact with referees more than they should. It has increased sharp-ly over the past three years. They need to make that "a point of emphasis" next year. Coaches should be able to talk to refs, not players. The way Wall, Cousins reacted to the refs against Vandy got old. They may have been correct with how the call went, but they reacted pretty immature. But I love them, I hope they better.
February 1, 201016 yr The thing that has impressed me the most about Calipari is his communication skills in handling his players, the media, the fans etc. I have 100% confidence that Coach Cal does and will continue to coach Cousins in the way that is most effective for Cousins and the team.

IMO alot of technicals would be avoided if the refs would call the game and not get into conversations. They are the sheriff, what they say goes. Why take it any farther?
February 1, 201016 yr Not only that, but you don't know what type of punishment Cousins had to go through at practice. I got a yellow card or two in my day playing high school soccer (the equivalent for a technical at times). I would get my butt chewed, put back in the game and then would have a great time at the next practice lol. I thought this was a sports forum.
February 1, 201016 yr Can't wait to reference this thread if Cousins actually costs his team a game because he's a punk. Elbows, technicals...etc. UK fans will call him immature but if he was a Blue Devil he'd be a thug. And I am by NO means a Duke fan. If he was at Memphis I would call him a thug! :lol::lol:
February 1, 201016 yr I was listening to some local radio today... some UC guys wished that Gates played with the intensity that Boogie has.

Coach Cal has a way of covering for his kids smoothing things out. However, All I saw on the Sidelines was Cousins talking back for several minutes. Bledsoe did the same thing in the Louisville game. He could not get him to stop. They play hard and are emotional. It will continue just hope it dosent come back to haunt us in a big game
