How exactly has KY shown he’s a championship caliber coach?

Mar 13, 5:46pm

He took a team that was sucking, 2-5 in conference to start, and completely

OU Cougar

I agree with you. But that doesn’t mean “championship level.”

Mar 13, 5:50pm

Look at us after time outs. Reminds me of great coaches

OU Cougar

That doesn’t make him a championship-level coach. I’m not saying he’s a bad

Mar 13, 5:54pm

There's this against one of the top defensive teams in the country

Awesome. He’s a great coach

Why argue over words? Such a weird thing to do.

Because I disagree with the word he used

I don't agree with the words in your boardname

Cynics never built anything except barriers. I’m not directing this at fauxtaysomhill but a a general comment

Agreed. He’ll have to prove himself

The way he's cultivated his bench this year is amazing as well

Hammurabi

I agree

Chill dude. You can be a championship level coach before winning a championship

palangi

What makes you a championship level coach then?

Mar 13, 6:11pm

Do what he's done this year. Still need to win a championship. Took Andy Reid years to win a championship

That 61-62 season when he lost in the Final Four.

There are a million examples of championship level coaches coaching non-championship level players.

Did you say a million? Great coaches are rare imo

I’m glad you’re hear to make sure posters don’t use hyperbole. Hyperbole from

What he has already done proves he is elite. Some teams still have more

AJ feels pretty confident about it by the sounds of it

Let’s get past the conference semis

It looks pretty elite. I wouldn’t take anyone else right now

I’ll take “picking nits” for 500 please

You are hopelessly and doggedly pedantic.

We haven’t won four in a row against ranked teams ever

I’m incredibly optimistic. I love this team, I love KY, and I think we can go on

He's beating some remarkable coaches in really tough settings. His recruitment is elite. I love how he uses his bench,

Sorry, should’ve clarified. Meant NCAA tourney (not conference tourney).

Amen -not to take anything away from all that KY and his awesome staff have done

I'm excited to see what he can do with a full recruiting cycle.
