John Calipari takes a shot at Coach K

Can anyone pinpoint why Coach Calipari is such a colossal bitch? Is it because he has only won one championship during a 6 year string of #1 classes, which still required an NBA lockout forcing some of his underachieving freshmen back to school?
quote:
Two weeks ago, five-star talent Hamidou Diallo (ranked 17th in the 2017 class, per Recruiting Nation), who reportedly received scholarship offers from Duke and Kentucky in recent weeks, detailed the differences between the pitches made by Calipari and Krzyzewski in a conversation with the Louisville Courier-Journal.
quote:
“Kentucky’s pitch was just the NBA thing,” Diallo told the Courier-Journal. “Duke’s pitch was if you come to Duke, you’re going to be set for life. It’s more than just basketball. [John Calipari’s] pitch was he gets guys ready for the next level. Look at the numbers: it shows. It’s the best place for you if you want to make it to the NBA.”
quote:
“I refuse to go in a home and paint a picture saying things like, ‘If you come with us you’ll be taken care of for the rest of your life by the program and by our alums,’ even though you may only be in school for a year or two,” Calipari said. “How preposterous does that sound? What if I say that same thing and the young man decides to transfer for one reason or another? Does that still hold true that we’re going to take care of them the rest of their lives? Our approach is to give them the fishing rod and the lures to help them catch fish, not to just give you the fish.”

It sounds to me like Krzyzewski was just pointing towards Duke's excellent academics as a plus for kids who hoped to someday graduate. And, you know, maybe win a championship in the process.

Both coaches are colossal bitches.

Envy is strong from Cal. Coach K coaches circles around Calipari and he knows it

Academics in what? Doing enough to stay eligible?

A degree from Duke >>>>>>>>>> a degree from a bottom half SEC school.

Your tears are tasty with Cal.

Right, at Kentucky stay eligible for one semester usually.

Quick, name a team with a perfect APR score? I'll sit back and wait.

I took the Duke claim to be more about intellectual snobbery. The idea being you will be positively changed for life by coming to Duke.
If you stayed for four years and earned a serious degree then maybe I buy that... not so much if you are a one (or two) and done.

Duke's players are too busy with the NBA playoffs to take summer classes.

Naw man, more a lunch man.

"I call a guy into my office and I said son, there's a bucket of ice cream, and there's a bucket of poo. You can put all the ice cream you want in that poo, and it doesn't change. It's poo. But you put one pinch of that poo in that ice cream, and you ruin that ice cream. Son, you're the poo in our ice cream... you are the poo in our ice cream!" - Coach Calipari
