Someone asked in another post why Jackson played so little last night. Here's is Cal's <excuse>.
Why does he keep mentioning the +/- player rating? Is he trying to be like Billy Bean from the movie Moneyball in deciding who gets playing time? And how the hell would you determine a current +/- during a game? Cal, just play your best damn players!
Jackson is clearly one the few players on this team that should be on the court. He's pro0bably the only player that could've prevented the 34-13 run that UT closed the game with.

I would be fine if he wanted to use an Analytics approach and go all in. The problem is he randomly chooses analytics to try and prove “his” approach.
Analytics tells you that 3 is greater than 2 and you should be shooting 30+ three pointers a game, analytics tells you to play at a faster pace, analytics say that when Allen is on the court UK’s offensive efficiency goes through the roof and the defense rating suffers very little.
Cal chooses to ignore all of those results.

Wife's Mad. Told me we never talk anymore. And just last nite while watching super bowl told her 2 or 3 times to get me a coke and popcorn. Also told her not to forget to take out trash in the morning. Ain't that something. Also told me I was too indecisive. Can't figure out what to do about that. One nice thing I guess. She called me a pro crastinator. Don't know what a crastinator is but I guess I'm a good one for her to call me a pro. Gonna wait til tomorrow to look that up though. I love her but somrtimes can't help but thinking I should have told uncle Junior to keep his coon hound pup and stevens double barrel and also his youngest daughter.

Cal keeps harping about “guys passing up shots”. In the past, he has stated that “they need to make the extra pass”. Well, which is it? I don’t like it that he is screwing with their minds and causing them to take bad shots when they ordinarily would have passed the shot up because they weren’t comfortable with it. Shots should come from the flow of the offense, which is something the team has struggled with this year.
