This is why my aunt and uncle don't speak to me any more. Any time they bring up the greatness of UK basketball, I raise this little fact.

 

[Double Gator Dad]

It is even funnier when you consider that UK has sent about three full NBA teams of players to the league in the last 7-8 years.
So I guess talent alone doesn't win anything when you can't coach.

I'm permanently banned from rupp rafters for letting them know this fact

The burning question is which happens first?

A. Calipari fields another team SO strong that he can't help but win another championship
B. UK realizes that they are nothing more than a minor league NBA team with nothing meaningful to show for it.

UK fan is pretty dumb so my money is on the slippery one stumbling into another championship.

Championship teams usually have a mix of young and vets. Because of the turnover rate on his teams, he rarely has vet leadership. Also, I don't think he's a great game day coach. I actually think he is below average.

You are correct.
The slippery one intentionally recruits gobs of one and done guys and then whines every year about being a young team.
As I said, the question is.....How long will it take the hillbillys to figure out that they are being duped?

He admitted this several years ago when he said he stopped calling plays and let one of the Harrisons just play.

That was humorous. My thought was that 'hell, then I could coach that team too'.

Either way, all these recent wins will get vacated eventually. Doesn't really matter what they do. I know alot of their fan base thinks next year will be their best class ever. Lol I've never heard that before.

Vacated wins coming up within the next few years after Cheatapari bolts.

Also, just as many national titles and national runner-ups as UNC in the past two decades as well.

Only reason he won his first championship in the first place is he had Anthony Davis. You could have put him on any of about two dozen teams that year and that team would have won it all.

I sure would have liked another crack at Kentucky that year. We had them in the sec tourney. They wouldn't have beaten us 4 times that year.
