He does?
He made it to the FF in 2011, 2012, 2014 & 2015. But he not getting the same transcendental OAD he did during that period of seasons. And if those players are able to go pro straight out of HS, he’s gonna field teams similar to those since 2015 - and just how many Final Fours has he been to since then?
I’ve said this for a long time: Cal is a good coach. Really good. But he’s not some damn miracle worker, no matter what he sells to recruits. He’ll still get good recruits and UK will still be good - but if he keeps turning over the roster every season, he’s gonna have a young team year after year. And UNLESS you have overwhelming talent to help compensate, it’s gonna be difficult to maintain what he did from 2010-15.
No coach is going to have a new roster of 2nd tier players every year and achieve that. Cal hasn’t. K hasn’t. Neither of us know FOR SURE, but don’t be naïve to think he won’t be on the hot seat if he doesn’t get the Cats back to the FF within the next 3 years.
