He's done. Due to the poor APR they will not be eligible for the NCAA tournament next year. I imagine they will be announcing a national coaching search in the next two months.centralbucksfan;1074442 wrote:UConn Calhoun taking a leave for medical reasons.

This +1000. And Matta gets many more players who dont just play for one season.Laley23;1073895 wrote:Cal may have had the most talent over the last few years. Matta has had top 5 talent. Matta has been to 1 FF and got a Ron Lewis 120495 footer to get there. If you are unimpressed with what Cal has done, Im THOROUGHLY unimpressed with what Thad has done.

Are you sure about that? It seems like they both have had their share of early exits.cats gone wild;1074556 wrote:This +1000. And Matta gets many more players who dont just play for one season.

I wonder at what point that Cal starts to catch some flack for not winning a national title with all the talent he has had?QUOTE]
So basically, if the SEC is so bad in bball, then programs like OSU shouldnt be losing in the tourney to UF, Tenn, and UK? Right? Or maybe OSU should just get out of the first and 2nd round like they didnt recently vs. Siena and Gtown. Of course, OSU has years of not even making the tourney recently too. So whats OSU doing to show they are superstars?

The SEC as a whole as a very "meh" conference. They are good at the top, but thats it.

OH, so one or two good teams at the top NOW equals a great conference? LMAO. Such a piece of work you are. Master spinner! lol
BTW, I am not sure how or why Matta got into this convo. But whatever I guess.

CGW, seriously dude, you need to stay off the CBB forum, because you really don't know if a basketball is pumped or stuffed. Remember you said "see you in the Spring" after the NC game? It ain't April yet, my friend :huh:

I'd imagine that it's a lot tougher to tolerate pain when your team has lost 4 straight and fallen from preseason national title contender to bubble team.centralbucksfan;1074442 wrote:UConn Calhoun taking a leave for medical reasons.

Trust me, I know plenty about college basketball, and been following it more closely than probably 95% of the people on here have in the past 30 years. I just dont get on this forum much since its meh. And dont worry, you wont see me much on here. And as for spring....that was the football forum. And cbf, Im waiting for you to prove me that Im wrong, since you think Im crazy on what I posted. Matta gets players that stay for a few seasons and does less than what Cal does with one and dones, with little experience.Matta should do much better than what he does.

As a Kentucky fan, of course you're going to defend Cal the Criminal, but you have to be disappointed with his inability to get to, let alone win, the Big Game....especially with all the players he's purchased over the years.cats gone wild;1074852 wrote:Trust me, I know plenty about college basketball, and been following it more closely than probably 95% of the people on here have in the past 30 years.

lol ya, ok. I guess you don't recall the Oden, Conley, Cook NCAA finalist team, then all left to NBA. 3 first round picks. They made NCAA finals. Two years ago, Cal, UK had 5, yes FIVE first round NBA picks. Wall, Cousins, Bledsoe were frosh. They did not even make the final four.cats gone wild;1074852 wrote:Trust me, I know plenty about college basketball, and been following it more closely than probably 95% of the people on here have in the past 30 years.

Cal been there 2 years plus this one and has a final four and E8, no early exits. At this point UK fans would be assanone to get upset with no title. It isn't to that point yet. He went 35-3, 29-9, and is currently 22-1. He is on his way to winning 2/3 SEC titles and is 2/2 on SEC tourney titles with a chance for 3/3. Seriously, in what world would a UK fan be upset at this point lol? You guys are delusional.centralbucksfan;1074884 wrote:lol ya, ok.

it's 'assinine', and it's not as much slamming Kentucky and what Cal has done as it is slammimg CGW and his unwarranted criticism of Thad Matta.

And with THAT much talent, EASILY more than any coach in the country, if he doesn't get a title this year, I'd call that underachieving. That talent collectively, could currently field a VERY nice NBA team.Laley23;1074897 wrote:Cal been there 2 years plus this one and has a final four and E8, no early exits.
