May 17, 201016 yr I love UK basketball...However, I share close to the same feelings as Jim Schue and RockPride on UK fans. So while it would suck, because UK basketball would take a hit, it would be oh so entertaining to watch the fan base react.
May 17, 201016 yr It depends on what Cal's goals are and what is important. He has as close to lifetime security as it can get in coaching at UK. He has a great place to raise his family without threat of having to uproot them again. He knows there is no security in the NBA (how many coaches has LeBron had in 7 years?) and that the NBA is very much a crapshoot even with the best players. If Cal values his family and job security and the knowledge that he controls his destinty at UK much more so than the NBA, then why would he go? Money is not an issue because he is set for life. I think there are many more positives in staying than in going. I think he wants to win, and win big....LeBron, DRose, Noah, and the possibility of a sign & trade of Deng for Chris Bosh would guarantee he would not only win in the NBA, but win bigger than can be imagined IMO.

Having a large amount of talent doesn't guarantee a championship. Cal should remember that lesson from a couple months ago.
May 17, 201016 yr Even with "IMO" tagged on at the end, thats a ridiculous statement. How so? Those 4 guys could be playing together for the next 6-7 years. You honestly think any team would be able to take them down in a 7 game series when they boast a starting 5 that contains 3 of the top 20 players in the league, all of whom are either just entering or in the middle of the primes of their careers? They'd win multiple titles and challenge for the all-time wins mark every year...
May 17, 201016 yr Having a large amount of talent doesn't guarantee a championship. Cal should remember that lesson from a couple months ago. Completely different when dealing with college freshman and NBA studs.

You are completely ignoring the family side of the equation. I don't think his wife and family want to move again, especially into the very insecure NBA climate with zero job security that could end up forcing another move in just 2-3 years.
May 17, 201016 yr I love UK basketball...However, I share close to the same feelings as Jim Schue and RockPride on UK fans. So while it would suck, because UK basketball would take a hit, it would be oh so entertaining to watch the fan base react. This is funny to me. Do you really think there is a coach that exists that is bigger than the UK program? Sure, our stability would take another hit, but BBN would rebound just like they have for many, many years. Cal is a great PR guy and a great recruiter, but don't think he can't be replaced with someone who would not miss a beat. However, he is not going anywhere. Would be a horrible career move. Coaches don't coach in the NBA, they are just observers, the inmates run that asylum.

So you love UK basketball, but hate the fans. So basically, you hate yourself.

I would have a most difficult time swallowing the whole Cat fan thing if I was not one of them.
May 18, 201016 yr :laugh: Somehow I knew this was coming. So you love UK basketball, but hate the fans. So basically, you hate yourself. That was exactly what I was thinking. You cannot have both, you either love UK or hate UK.
May 18, 201016 yr I don't think Cal is going anywhere. However, he's probably loving all the national attention he is getting, and having your name constantly mentioned on ESPN with connections to the NBA and one of its best players is not bad for recruiting the top high school players. Guys like Quincy Miller are watching too.
May 18, 201016 yr I honestly believe these rumors get started by his arch rivals to have a detrimental affect on UK's recruiting. :lol: :lol: :lol: I love this guy.
