Ex-Wildcat Derek Anderson trashes Calipari's coaching in 2014 NC

[huskies20]

Which team, besides Louisville, gave the 2014 team trouble by pressing?

Temple (who we beat) and houston. I mean we won it all but I don't remember us being very good against the press. But Lville could just be sticking out in my mind.

BUT WHO CARES?? WE WON A GOD DAMN RING

I mean we won, but we are delusional if we think we would have won if they pressured. We couldn't handle the press all year; even versus lesser teams. This is why cal is not going to sustain himself. Players are seeing that his coaching is not that good and it is more appealing to be an actual story line at the likes of UConn and duke than the ONLY story line at KY.

But not everybody can press. You certainly can't press with slow guards, and the Harrisons are slow.

I mean we won,

...and that is all that matters.

Napier & Boatright were playing at such a high-level during the Tourney, they would have shredded a press.

They held UConn to 60 points. Not sure the defense is to blame, although James Young may be one of the 5 worst defenders I've seen in college.

As I've said before, UCONN improved and got better. Louisville didn't just crush us because they pressed, though that helped a lot, it was because Daniels hadn't figured things out yet and our offense was tough to watch against most teams. That team learned their roles, found there spots and became great at just the right time. The team that consecutively beat UK, UF, Nova, ISU and MSU easily and methodically doesn't lose to UL by 30 points.

People need to understand, we got better. It was pretty obvious that Giff and Daniels became very good players and even Samuel started imposing his will on people. We got better and we got tough, possibly as a result of UL embarrassing us.
