I just listened to the Coach Cal show on my computer (630 AM Lexington). Opposition programs knock our coach, but he is restoring Kentucky basketball to its proper place for us Kentucky fans.
Tonight he had former coach Joe B. Hall join him. Coach Hall, a terrific former coach himself, has become a great friend of Cal's. They each, along with Coach Adolph Rupp and Coach Rick Pitino (when he also coached the Cats), mean so much to Kentucky fans throughout the Commonwealth. I like to mention Coach Rupp's Harry Lancaster along with Coach Cal's John Robich and the other coaches on each staff, as great teacher/coaches.
Cal is happy with the progress of the current team and Coach Hall agrees. They each are concerned about the team peaking at the right time. Coach Cal says the seat he holds at UK is not for everyone and he is correct. Coach Hall agrees.
It is conceivable, Cal says that seven players may be drafted after this season. Seven! He also empathizes that his greatest legacy will be the young men who become millionaires in the pros. He enjoys that their families are becoming rich from many times lesser wealth backgrounds.
We "crazy" people who are Kentucky fans (as the coach calls us) love this coach and he deserves our admiration!
