The NCAA didn’t do much to Louisville, but they are still getting what they deserve. 
 

good to see. 

It is incredibly difficult to get coaching hires right. Has any school ever followed up one NC winning coach with another? Even getting following up 2 that make it to a final four has to be pretty rare

True for KU.  Although Williams didn’t win one while at Kansas. 
 

Uconn is true.  Tubby at UK as well. I think the argument could be made the previous coach still had done a tremendous job of influencing the team at both those as well

You can say Duh on Williams. But he didn’t win one while at Kansas so he’s not really a great example. So once again not sure why you are saying duh

He's saying DUH about himself, for his mistake.

You're only not sure why, because you were anticipating disagreement.

That's a real program? Sounds like something a fan would make up when complaining about a non-conference schedule.

So true, but St Joseph, MO will not be on the itinerary.

 I meant was that I forgot he didn't win at KU, not toward your post

They definitely need Oscar to come back as quickly as possible. Just the presence he brings rebounding the ball changes games.

He’s unequivocally an example of a great hire. He was an excellent coach and likely would’ve won at least one at Kansas if he had stayed.  As it was he kept them a powerhouse and went to FFs. 
 

Nobody has done a better job at managing their basketball program through high profile hires than Kansas, imo. Definitely that’s true over the last forty years.

Not arguable in any way.

Hey Calipari - this is kind of weird. Here are his current comments on this #4 team nationally (hint: they won't finish the season in the top ten).

Cal is feeling some pressure. This is how most coaches feel.  He knows the rabid fanbase is ready to turn on him. And Titus and Tate and I want to know how long Oscar will be out.  This is pretty typical of him.  I love seeing it though because I can see through it.
