PTI reacts to coach Cal leaving Kentucky + South Carolina beating Iowa in title game 

It's crazy how a undefeated team took a backseat to one player, it ain't like Iowa was even the defending champs

I'm no fan of Blue Blood programs but if fans are paying a premium price and the coach is getting premium pay, it's not a "spoiled brat" mentality to expect a premium output. You don't have to win a national championship every year or even make the Final Four every other year. But you can't be the highest or second highest paid coach for a decade and have not made a single Final Four in that decade. They haven't even made a Sweet Sixteen since 2019. They've only made it past the first round ONCE since 2019. At some point you are paying a coach for what he did in the past and not what he is doing for you currently and it's time to move on. He saved Kentucky a HUGE buyout. Now they can offer a coach with a better track record (recently), twice what they are making now and afford whatever buyout without blinking an eye. Kentucky players hitting the portal without even talking to whoever Kentucky hires next are just hoping to get a bigger payday (NIL) and don't care about winning.

Coaching at a football school is much better...Coach Cal made a good move...

Coach Staley just gets it, unlike most in the men's and women's college game today. BB IQ, heart, passion, discipline, relationship-building, moment by moment coaching...she proves again and again she is elite. And her emotional IQ, as Wilbon noted, is topnotch amongst her colleagues.

One of those “brats” here. If Cal was on a team of coaches he’d be on the bench Or transfer with the last five yrs of results Which he did. Maybe he and the commentator here could both work on showing some class. Cal for not being a stand up person who would look a camera in the eye and proclaim what he’s going to do instead of leaking it. And a professional reporter reduced to insulting a fan base.

Tom Crean !!! Is the right coach for KY right now ! High energy and tuff ness

Coach Cal is Doc Rivers of College basketball 🏀

I live in Walmart-ville AR and Mike is correct, the U-AR has the billionaire money that will fund their resurgence .

Good way to put it! I agree

BREAKING; Dawn staley to coach Kentucky 😂

Can you see Calipari saying Pig Soooeee That will be great

The Purdue center needs to play like he is the best player on the court and get close to 40.. and Purdue should use the blueprint of Alabama.. be loose and shot the rock!!!

Wilbon you have no bleeping clue. Any coach that has had the record in the past five years of Cal, while having some of the most talented players while also being paid near or at the top of his profession should not get a pass, but yet the media always gives it to him. Why are UK fans spoiled? Because we expect a team with that much talent and resources to not lose three straight home games which hasn’t happened in decades? Or lose first round games to double digit seeds twice in three years? I could go on and on, most have already gone thru the numbers here. It’s not spoiled, it’s reality.

Not all UK fans are "spoiled brats". Many of us were fine with Calipari staying...we're just not as loud as the "spoiled" fans on twitter.

I truly hope that clarke doesnt go to the wnba and get shut down....cuz im about sick of hearing about how shes the greatestthing sonce sliced bread..who literally quit at the end...took horrible shots and turned the ball over in crucial moments but nobody wants to talk about that!!!

Kentucky's not going to get better? LOL. They have won 1 tournament game in the last 5 years!

Arkansas I hope you’re okay with getting one and dones and not ever getting a national championship team.

He left because he realized he wasn't going to get a Jimbo Fi$$$her buyout. Few do by the way.

Cal left a real deal contender with uk for a 2 d college all because he doesnt wanna change his recruiting he still is going to draft 1 and dones and that hadnt worked out in 10 years he needs to draft at least 2 and 3 year recruits so they can build and gel and mesh together that 1 and done stuff is over 😂

Wilbon argues for his friends… he his highly biased.

“won’t get better than cal” lol. i need these clowns to rank their top head coaches in college basketball because john calipari isn’t even top 5 for me. and kentucky could have their pick of almost anybody so how is it that they can’t do better than him

Spoiled brats? No final 4 for 10 years? 9-16. Two first round losses and a second round loss the last 3 years. No coach at a top 20 program is surviving that. Clearly, Wilbon is not close to the situation, and I would call this segment shoddy journalism.

NCAA violations must be coming at Kentucky.

Intellect? Please. Bigger, faster, stronger. Cocks didn’t do any cool passing just made a few more shots and got a bunch more rebounds. Size mattered with the Cocks yesterday.

Absurd expectations he says. Yeah, like getting by the first weekend of the tournament. Wilbon has terrible takes...

TK is lame

When will ESPN do a story on Leflop and his steroid use

Its time ......go hogs

Kentucky should target Shaka Smart

Calipari sucks.

Wilbon sucks.
