John Calipari has been coaching for 30+ years, and only has 1 NC to show

Dude is 57 years old. How much longer does he have, and will he win another one ever? If so, how many more?

It's crazy how he can hand-pick any roster he wants, yet he still struggles to make it out of his own bracket. All that talent, and so few rings.

Not to mention his teams have received multiple sanctions before, and he bombed out of the NBA. Dude is pretty overrated as a HC. Hopefully he is able to continue cherry-picking all the 5* recruits across the country, cause his coaching strategies seem to be lacking.

To be fair that's only one less championship than Lebron

He's only been at 1 program that has a realistic shot at winning a NC (A10 and CUSA teams don't win NCs in major sports).

Very debatable, still not convinced Lebron wasn't 34 coming out of high school

Nice runner-up prizes. I guess 2nd place is cool nowadays. Do you brag about 21-0, cause y'all had a nice regular season?

Dude only has 1 championship ring....in 30+ years. There are a million other coaches who have at least 1 ring. Hell, even Johnny Jones probably has a ring.

you're dealing with mostly LSU fans here, championships don't matter, all about participation trophies for them.

Outside of Coach K (with 5), the next closest active coaches have 2 NCs (Roy Williams, Rick Pitino). And UK has 8 total in their history.

But apparently Cal should have 7 championships for the 7 years he's been at UK or he's just a failure.

How many guys have gotten three programs to the final four? I can only think of Slick Rick.

Dean Smith had one NC in his first 30 seasons as a coach. I guess he was a shite coach as well.
