he isn't a good coach. He had some good years because he bought all the talent in the world and was able to out talent college basketball by a mile and still only won 1 title. Guy is vastly overrated.

I agree he is overrated

But to say he’s a bad coach is objectively false and I’d encourage you to dig a bit deeper into his resume

Yes winning titles matters but he has a stellar winning % in March and has been to 6 final fours

And prior to buying lottery picks he won his conference 5 straight years at UMass and took them to a final 4

It’s a damn good hire for Arkansas IMO even if he’s overrated

Mind you LSU did something quite similar in hiring Kelly (IMO) who has never won a title

Look at his final 5 years at Kentucky vs his first 10. His final 5 years resulted in exactly 1 NCAA tournament win. One win. In 5 years.

All Cal is at this moment in time is a Big name whose best years are all behind him.

It’s a bad hire by Arky. Kentucky is significantly better off without him.
