Would you want Calipari coaching your school or kid?

I wish I could do this as a poll.

I'm curious about whether or not the hatred of Calipari is based on genuine dislike or envy, or some combination of the two.

What are your thoughts?

1. I'll reserve comment.

2. Damnit, how am I supposed to know your opinion of Calipari?

Other than reading some of your numerous posts about the subject?

3. I will tell you this

Sean Woods, the Coach at MVS that lost to Western yesterday was a coach for my son in a youth league. He was as unethical as you could get.We took him off that team and later found out he was using my boy's name for his ringers. He may be remembered some for making the shot that would have beaten Duke in that game. I remember him, in another loss, driving uncontested for a dunk as time expired and we were down 3. A douchebag.

4. Probably

the guy may be an egotistical jerk, but he's got a pretty damned good resume.

As an aside, Calipari graduated a year after my cousin at Moon Twp. I read in the local paper a week or so ago about my own alma mater, Cornell High School (Class of 77).

Thought it a nice article, especially for the kids who played there this year.

10. Way to fuck up the narrative

Calipari is supposed to be a heartless mercenary that only cares about winning and designer suits.

That article makes him seem almost human.

5. Hell Yes!!!

Arizona State a national power? I would faint.

As far as my kid, if I had one, if my kid wanted to play in the NBA this is one of the best coaches to help him to get to that level.

6. No

What happened at UMASS and Memphis is going to happen at Kentucky.

8. And the programs have to pay,

not him.

9. Why?

Because you think so?? Tell me which NCAA violations have happened to Cal? Why the fuck would he want to fuck up a natural basketball powerhouse and leave? To go and fix the shit programs at your schools?
Fucking unwarranted hate.
Bring it the fuck on douchebags.

11. No! And No!!

Have enough trouble without him.

12. An Italian would be perfect for a wine and cheese school

I hope current UNC students appreciate the fact that ticketing policy was changed by a Sam Cassell zinger. (Says someone who camped out and still got seats so shitty I could almost touch the ceiling of the Dean Dome).

13. Lower Rupp Arena looks like a blue hair world. Not Kentucky blue, old lady blue.

They did stick some students downstairs. I don't go unless I can get a lower arena ticket. My nosebleeds upstairs.
Is Kendall going to play?
