... in this thread.

I don't want Cal back...he is kind of a coward.
Didn't want to play SEC teams here...didn't want to "show case" them in our gym.
Stopped playing Indiana....cuz they got to where they could beat him.
He wanted them to play on a neutral floor...and I think they told him to go eff himself or something.
He'd get out of playing Louisville if he could. Same with UCLA.

I want a ballsy coach who will play anyone, anywhere, anytime.

That's how you rebuild this Tiger team in Memphis.

Its the University of Memphis. They don't have a bank vault.

Please give me another chance to do it again.

Calipari might be willing to let one of his assistants move to Memphis. Tony Barbee redux....


No thanks....

Haven’t we already tried giving an over the hill coach a golden parachute?

But it doesnt take 6 NBA prospects to be a top 25 program. Most teams only have one prospect, if that. Its many ways to build a team.

To be a champion, the number is 3 as far as NBA players on the team.

That's the general rule of thumb for winning the NC.

I think.

Still, you can build to that point. People like Calipari/Penny because they think they will sign multiple sure fire NBA prospects. However, you have good coaches who maybe able to develop 2 or 3 NBA talent level guys like a Josh Hart or a Justin Jackson.

We offered him more $ than he signed with Ky . We basically offered him the keys to the city and fedex to begin with.

The way his team is performing this year he may be looking for a job next year. Kentucky don't play that **** for 8 million a year.

Cal has enough goodwill in his back pocket to last 4 more years there. Whether he would want to, who knows?

If I recall, $4.65M a year with incentives to over $5; a private jet at his disposal, a below cost new mansion, etc, etc. KY didn’t match it then.
