This is fun



Been awhile since I have read a more personal attack in print... and one that is so completely off base. I am not a John Calipari fan and I am not sure he would be a good pro coach so don't jump on me as a bandwagon guy.  That said, take a spin through this piece of shit... http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/-college-basketball-mens-tournament/news/20140408/kentucky-wildcats-connecticut-huskies-john-calipari/?eref=sihp

OK, so a guy who has a National Championship on his resume and just took a 7 seed full of freshman to the finals got totally out coached and exposed that as an ongoing flaw? I would think a guy as successful as Calipari has been could coach a bit no?  I might also submit that UConn had a magical run and made a lot of teams look bad. Should Calipari teams focus more on free throws?  Obviously, but like the 90s UNLV teams, these guys are freak athletes who are meant to attack and play a flow game, not shoot it out at the line. I also enjoyed the line about how the NBA is not a place for me first ego coaches. Like, Phil Jackson (he stunk for years) or Mike D'Antoni, or Mark Jackson, or Doc Rivers.  No, no, they want "coaches like Boston's Brad Stevens, Memphis' Dave Joerger and Philadelphia's Brett Brown". 

Yeah, those guys from the worst teams in the league or underachieving Memphis are killing it. Who wouldn't want more of that? 

Calipari did not stop the clock at the end to make the Huskies shoot pressure free thows. Well, it could be argued a team that shot 10-10 might be better pressured into tough jumpers over longer players. Whatever, Pete Thamel most likely picked Kentucky to win and lost money on the game. Just don't be so petty Pete. You are a bad writer who has never learned English and should probably not even be writing for a high school paper. You are also a bad dresser and your breath smells. Personal attacks are bush league.
