I just don't understand how a D1 basketball coach can't see this. I've coached from little guys through high school and this is very easy to see. On top of that, you have all of the latest technology at your fingertips to replay and review. Guys shoot well because there is no pressure from him. No threat of a block, most often you have 2-4ft to shoot as he can't get around screens.

    And speaking of - how does a D1 coach not know how to teach ball screens and how to work around them? This is 7th/8th grade stuff.

        Wheeler isn’t the same player he was last year. Nor is Oscar. Not even close.

          Man it's just killing me. I wish Cal would put them in a film session and make them watch fundamental players like Robey Issell and others, make them watch the 92 Kentucky team ,something to get these kids motivated, its bad...

            Also, I never thought we’d see anything like the B.J. Boston team. I thought that mess was a once-in-a-century fluke.

            Well…

                Agreed, I could live with 5'8 Ulis, I can't do it with Wheeler. Not now not tomorrow not ever...

                  Kentucky’s inability to guard ball screens is especially maddening when you consider these days, everybody runs several ball screens every time down the court.

                    He stunk last year as well, they just won some games.

                      Just don't go to social media and question Cal . If so you are not a UK and need to find another team to root for, bs lol lol..

                      I dare double triple dare Calipari to stand up on that podium and say "you people are crazy " 😆 🤣 I don'tI have money like Calipari but i would pay if he would say that. , they would get the pitch forks out tonight 😆 🤣

                      May as well laugh about because that's all that can be done at this point...

                        And of course - I knew Cal wasn't going to call a timeout there at the end and just let Wheeler run wild down the court. I love Cal and I know it may end up being worse with him gone but I'm ready for it. I'm ok if he stepped down tomorrow and let Bruiser/Chin man run the team the rest of the year. I wouldn't care if they lost every game and I don't care about the class next year. I do think it's going to be special but this is completely off the tracks.

                          He led the nation in assists. Maybe second?

                          Guy we’re seeing now is a total shell.

                          Both he and Oscar are byproducts of godawful coaching, bad preparation, probably a summer where neither did a thing and got injured, and a Kentucky basketball culture that is degrading so sharply in value it’s obscene.
