If COA could have gotten all the players he had committed/signed to get here and then stick, I think things would have turned out differently ....

But recruiting was his thing.  Coaching was not.  He'd have to attract top shelf talent to have a chance or winning without a coach.

Calipari has admitted they get so much talent at KY, he coaches less, let's them play.  You can't do that without having top talent like KY.

His head coaching stint with the DR FIBA team had at least given him some hc experience which a lot of assistants moving up don't have coming in. Things still may have imploded at some point but he did get some talent to commit here but couldn't get them to the court, or stay here, like McMurray. Feliz and Baxter playing with Jamal that last year should have translated into a better season and maybe boded well for the future but all pretty much a moot point now.

we also had de silva but COA and his coaching were very suspect,  plus we had to cheat to get some of these guys.  Glad the spot we are in right now

He couldn't coach very well and that was going to be his downfall sooner or later anyway

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
