After seeing both coaches get roasted by their fan bases, let's take a nuanced trip into the muck to figure out just what makes a basketball coach "good" or "bad".
Great article Rob. I’m also confounded by Calipari’s inability/unwillingness to find shooters. It’s been the missing ingredient to several of his teams.
This was a great read, particularly the last part about Cal's roster composition. Curious what you think about him blaming his schedule-making. They play Louisville and the Champions Classic every year. UNC is tough, and Richmond is especially so this year, but I can't help but feel like those two combined with Georgia Tech and Notre Dame shouldn't be an 0-4 stretch under any circumstances.
I think it's Cal trying to spin the narrative. I know how his mind works and how his press conferences work. He wants to control it, and put them blame on him, not the guys on his roster. And, honestly, that's a good thing for a coach to do!

Right? At some point he's going to have to learn lol
