. . . there is nothing wrong with anything he said in this article.
I suppose it's a matter of interpretation and personal opinion.
The message behind the words that I received was, "the Harrisons were playing like crap, leaving them in cost us the win, and ___________________________."
What goes in the blank? Doesn't matter. Could be, "and therefore you can see how loyal I am." or "and they earned the right to be there and I'd do it again." or "and there was real chance they'd work their way out of their slump."
Doesn't matter.
The mere utterance of the concept that leaving them in cost Kentucky the win is a body slam to them, and, given that it's a done deal that can't be undone, there was zero point to saying it, other than, perhaps, for Calipari to shunt blame for the loss on them. If you don't agree with that, then fine - we view the world and human interaction very differently.
If Calipari claims that he left them in out of loyalty to them, then one has to wonder where that loyalty went when he decided to call them out as having been the cause of the loss.
