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
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.

I agree his last 5 years are underwhelming. It’s why I said I agree he is overrated.
But to outright say he is a bad coach is insane. He’s had struggles as of late, but the man knows how to coach. Losing in March doesn’t necessarily mean you did a bad job.
Hell Kentucky was trending way up towards the end of the season. shite happens in the tournament. Izzo lost to MTSU. Purdue lost in the first round last year and made it to the title game this year.
Again, I don’t think he’s currently as good as what he was considered in years past. But he will absolutely bring talent to Arkansas and they will be a very difficult team for LSU as long as he is there.
