No.  But I am pretty sure he is heavily LH, as in.. missed a shot at the rim because he refused to use his right hand... that has cause for concern. 

Except he was using his RH in the semifinals

There’s no way you actually believe this. I’m no UK fan but Calipari is 10x the coach Woody ever thought about being. It’s not even close honestly 

Yeah I'm with you there. 

If I was in a debate with a UK fan about whose team has the better coach, I don't know how I could claim that IU does.

I'd be willing to deal with some first round exits if Woodson had the tournament results Calipari has had the last 12 years.

Ehhh. Calipari has the better college resume undeniably but he's been at it for decades. His only true success has come via a generational college player in Anthony Davis. Underachieved massively with Boogie Cousins and John Wall at UK. Didn't win a title with Derrick Rose... tons of NBA players over the years. Doing less with more talent than most coaches could dream of... they lost to Oakland this year and Cal was totally useless on the sidelines. He's no X's and O's mastermind... not to say Woody is either. But if we're just talking coaching ability and not resume, you can reasonably make the case it's at least "close"

Didn’t win any games with Derrick Rose.

Don't disagree he has underperformed in the tournament the last few years at UK and should have more titles than he has produced with the players he has had, but year in and year out he gives you the opportunity every year to win a national championship. Not many coaches give you that chance. Being a HC is about promoting your brand, recruiting, developing talent, and winning games. He's been pretty successful at all of those his whole career. Not sure Woody is good at any of them honestly. UK would never put up with Mike Woodson, but the bar has been lowered so much at IU, our admin doesn't seem to care.

100% believe this. I also prefer Woody to Will Wade and many others. Hell, at least Wade is a good on court coach. Calipari can’t even say that anymore.

Curious why over Wade? He is someone I’d take at IU in a heart beat. None of the paying players is an issue anymore. And I get the jab at Cal for not winning games but everyone witnessed them. It’s just another toothless NCAA “penalty”. Just like the Fab 5 didn’t happen? Yes it did I witnessed it live and watched the documentary on it. lol. The revisionist stripping of titles for rules that have since been deemed illegal by the US Supreme Court is silly. The disdain should be placed on the NCAA not on the coaches who actually were in the right per the US Supreme Court ruling.
