Author Topic: Something I just heard on the radio m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 11-28-2014 05:20 PM                     Listening to a sports talk radio show the comment was made that if KY won the title this year Calapari would leave to coach somewhere else. I personally don't believe that. I think he's happy here. What are your thoughts? -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

I even doubt he would want to coach another pro team. I think he stays until it's time to retire for good. Too much wear and tear on the body.

Any place he would go to from UK would be a step down in status and pay. That is one reason I never listen to Sports talk on the radio, they have to commit some type of controversy to keep listeners tuning in.

He will retire on Richmond Road, Lexington, Ky. He was at the Salvation Army with his players serving meals on Thanksgiving day. He has more than enough things going locally to keep him going until he can surpass Adolph Rupp in championships (6), and UCLA (12). He may not have enough time to pass Rupp in SEC championships. He probably already holds the record for most 1st round draft picks in a season & total, as well as most draft picks in a season. By the time he gets 4 or 5 more championships he may be read to retire. Why should he be any different than ratface in staying at the best college basketball program in the country.

In the pros, you might have talent, but then stuck with long term contracts for aging players and can't replace them. You lose a star guard and your whole season is crap. If Cal wins it all this season, and I think he will, the media and the portion of fans that complain will quit knocking him, until the next season starts. The rest of the UK fans will have over blown expectations of Cal and UK running a string of championships together like they are the Boston Celtics with Bill Russel at center.

No guarantees in the Pros. You don't necessarily control your own destiny as a head coach. -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

I don't think Cal would ever go to Cleveland or any other pro team, the pay would be less than he makes at UK and his headaches would only triple at a place like Cleveland. Lebron is a great talent but he wants to call the shots where ever he plays and I don't think Cal could accept that from any player.

Star players have the power and control in the pros. Would a championship college coach really want to go back to the NBA, when he has already tried it?

However his personality is such that failure is not acceptable so he might want to go back to the pro's in the right situation where he has a team with talent that would give him the players needed to succeed. Lebron, Cousins or Davis is that opportunity and if he goes back that's where it would be. imo -------------------- http://www.ukfightsong.com/ Posts: 186359 | From: st. augustine florida 32092 | Registered: Mar 2001  |  IP: Logged m hamilton Player Member # 127 posted 11-29-2014 09:53 AM                     In the pros, though, it takes more than 1 or 2 star players to make a championship team. It takes chemistry, talent and a whole lot of luck! -------------------- The potus is planning 1st major tax hike since '93 in next economic package!

We all know he has had a chance to do it. He even gets a little bit of that with the pros on the Olympic team. Cal is just like him when it comes to the NBA. He gives it some thought and what it might be like, but when he thinks it over he realizes he is in a lot better situation right where he is. He only has to look as far as Louisville and their coach RP. He left the BBN and has admitted he made the wrong move and would give his left testicle if he could still be here. As I've said, I'm convinced he will retire in Lexington and enjoy life as a BBN rock star till his days are over.
