Or he could just be sore about losing out on some recruits to the much better school and coach...

    No worries-the local media has had fun with it ever since he made the statement.  On paper he is being out "one and done" by Coach K, at least with the current Freshmen and those intending to play next year.  And yes the BBN is upset-I'm sure @bgebrent will have something to offer.  ;)

    Calipari is such a lizard. Thought that when I first heard of him (UMass-Amherst, Marcus Camby, 1980something). I've seen nothing to change my mind.

    Remember when Temple's John Chaney threatened to kill Calipari? =)

    What is this "basketball" stuff you speak of?

    John Chaney's cousin "Richard" (his common name came across as ****) took that same attitude to the Oval Office!

    I think it’s a poor attempt to distract us from the fact that there is no football.

    Wait. There are Kentucky GRADS in the NBA? Since Calipari got there, I didn't think there WERE any grads!

    Here’s the thing: I don’t measure Coach K’s success by the number of players who end up in the pros.  That’s a dumb metric, and it’s not a surprise that Kentucky fans adopt it.  

     He’s not running a D-league over here.  He’s trying to win NCAA championships, and right now, there’s nobody coaching who has more.

    Kentucky has more.  "Dumb metric" is further deflection.  Pertaining to basketball, Kentucky is the clear winner on any metric.  Is sum salaries unfair as a metric???

    Why don’t we go with sum of d!ck lengths? That would be just as relevant.

    Deflecting again.  Sum salaries is a legitimate measure.  I understand why you must demure.

    Not really.  Long d!cks would impede the bipedal motion and negatively impact the game.

    You add them up then and let us know what you find a month from now after you finish carrying all of the zeros.

    The metric:  8 National Championships.  You worried about head to head?  Kinda like worrying about UMBC ball big boy.
