But isn't it fair to say it's easier to recruit big time talent at Kentucky than Villanova?

You just asked about the number of titles.

Cal has the superior record. Barring hookers and blatant cheating, I couldn't care less how he got there.

Villanova was the best team all year by far. How they lost games is a mystery to me.

And Cal has also had the superior talent. Again, many coaches would love to be able to recruit like Cal and coach some of the teams he has had with all that talent. Cal can coach but his coaching is more of a mental motivational coach, not the greatest x's and o's. How many games have we won over the years with Cal and then all sat here and talked about the great adjustment or coaching job that Cal did in a particular game?? We we win it's always "our talent played up to it's potential" but never "Cal did a great coaching job that game"

Kyle Tucker (I think) pointed out that they never lost a game when their full roster was healthy.

We've talked about his great coaching on numerous occasions. Just this year off the top of my head, we applauded his performance at West Virginia.

Not saying we haven't griped, too (for good reason), but he's been equally deserving of praise over the years.

He was being sarcastic lol lol lol. It's the set up comment before the rah rah rah Cal is the greatest ever speech....

Can see why, those guys could torch it. I honestly thought they'd be in a matchup with Kansas, but they took them out of the game pretty early and never let them back in. I was watching the game at Willie's Locally Known in Lexington - I looked up and Kansas was hanging tough for the first few minutes, I looked up again and 'Nova was up like 22-4.

Just an unbelievably good team.

Bottomline, i hope to see more coaching, less yelling!!!

Very impressive to be honest. The only way to combat is length and athleticism up in your face defense which is what Cal goes for. I guess i get ticked at Cal because i would rather have a offensive machine over a defensive machine but that's not how Cal rolls.....

At least acknowledge the example. It's like you don't want to admit that for all Cal's flaws, he's also a capable coach.

[KevinHall]

I get where you're coming from, but in roughly the same stretch we have one title, one championship appearance, two Final Fours, and two Elite Eights. On the whole, that's far better than Wright's record.

Championships trump anything else IMO. Also retaining in players past one season goes a long way in my book too. Like I have said before I am not wishing Cal gone. I just wish he would refine some things, mainly retaining players every season so the won't be starting over and over again. Seeing a team like Villanova makes me just a bit jealous. I know UK could do this and probably more.

I don't so. What he said was true.

He's a Hall of Fame coach, he can coach without a doubt. I don't think anyone would want Cal gone, just a tweek....

He'll adapt or quit.

John Calipari will not carry on as a middling coach.
