Message: [QUOTE="BigErnMcCracken, post: 4934602, member: 70"] Cal's 65 and loaded. He's fat and happy. His staff is a bunch of his guys like Antigua and Chin Coleman and Bruiser Flint (he's got 5 assistant coaches on his staff!) who can't collectively coach their way out of a paper bag, nor do they seem to have much interest in working at it. Antigua makes a million bucks a year just to sit next to Cal and hang out. I have a college friend from Lexington who's a diehard BBN guy and from what he tells me the program is in a state of complete dysfunction. Every aspect of it. From on the court stuff to their NIL collective to agents threatening to pull kids from the team and Cal bowing down to them. (It makes you appreciate what we have at the moment - culture matters, as does an absence of it.) So Cal can give all the soundbites he wants to about cancelling trips to the Caribbean to work on defense and "grinding" and everything else but it seems - to me - that unless there is a total overhaul of every aspect of the way he does business - including the guys that sit next to him on the bench - we could be in for another very entertaining season of Kentucky basketball. I just can't imagine him having the fire to actually do the work at this point. [/QUOTE]
