[QUOTE="GTRX7, post: 1007063, member: 1045"] This shows a lack of attention to recent history. Yes, the first 10 years of Cal’s tenure at UK were amazing. Despite winning only 1 title, arguably as good as any 10 year stretch in the history of the program. And a ton of fun to watch! The last 4 years tell a very very different story. Arguably one of the worst four year stretches in program history. UK’s 9-16 record in 2020 was arguably the worst ever season in UK history. In 2021, Cal had the team lose to #15 seed St Peters in the worst tourney loss in UK history. In 2022, with the returning national player of the year, Cal managed to lead the team to one NCAAT win and again failed to get past the first weekend. This year, in 2023, he led them to the second worst upset in UK history, falling to #14 seed Oakland in the first round. Also the worst four year stretch in SEC tournament history for UK. That is a lot of, not just lows, but historical lows. So, in the last 4 years, UK won 0 SEC regular season titles, a total of 1 SEC Tournament games (1!), and a total of 1 NCAAT games, while also having the worst season in program history and the two worst NCAAT losses in program history. Notably, in those 10 post-season games where they went 2-8, UK was favored in every single game. In addition, at the same time, he lost his relationship with the UK administration, lost his relationship with all local media, and turned off a huge portion of the fanbase with his demeaning attitude towards his own fans. UK has won titles with 5 different coaches. They were ok before him and will be okay after. As for Cal, I suspect that he gets reenergized and finally makes some of the changes that UK fans have been begging him to make and does very well at Arkansas (though nowhere near the level of his first 10 years in Lexington). But it became painfully clear that he was never going to regain those magical years in Lexington. I honestly think this will be a good thing for all parties, UK, Calipari, and Arkansas. [/QUOTE]
