The time when Calipari OWNED Mick

Bearcat_NTS · 08-12-2015, 12:38 PM

The unnamed Coach was Mick and the recruit was Marquis Teague...

Quote:

"This one coach, a prominet coach, head been recruiting this kid hard. He'd been recruiting this kid and watcing every game he'd played in for two years, every minute of the summer. Been to like 30 games. John Calipari came in late in this subsequent summer and recruited him for like two weeks and watched him in like one game, and the kid committed to Kentucky.

"The coach started yapping in coaching cirlces about Calipari saying, 'They must have cheated. There's no way they got this kid. I've been on this kid for two years. Cal just came in and got him.'

"100% true, John confronts this guy in Vegas, because he heard the guy was yapping. He confronts him. Cal approaches the coach and says something like ‘Listen, I know what you’ve been saying. I know you did, I know you said what you said. I’ve heard it from enough people, but I want you to understand one thing.

'Yes, I am the type of guy who can come in at the last minute and take any player I want from you. You can spend your whole life recruiting a kid and at the end of the day. If I want him, I’ll get him. If we want him, we’ll get him.

'Don’t ever get that confused. Be appreciative every time I don’t come in and get your guy. Don’t accuse me of cheating when I do.'

Calipari has cheated everywhere he's been. He doesn't have to like people saying it but the lack of banners at UMASS and Memphis (and soon Kentucky) tell you all you need to know. Sometimes the truth hurts. His arrogance and pompous attitude will lead to his downfall.

I just thought that quote was great. There is really nothing Mick could say back...

Makes me remember just how much of a grind it was in the early Mick days. I can understand how frustrating it would be for Mick in that situation. I don't think this would ever happen now, thankfully. I know Kentucky will get players over us, but I feel like things are deeply established enough in our program, that we don't have so much hanging on one guy. And Mick and UC are a more respected brand than back then.

Leave Jason alone, he is the sensitive type that knows little to nothing about basketball...

You must not have a very vivid imagination...and I can't remember the last time Mick was at a loss for words. Assuming it went down like this (exactly) which I highly doubt...I am sure Mick knows enough about Cal and how he operates to jab right back.

The UC brand has definitely grown since then. Getting closer and closer each year to where we once were. If Cal confronted Mick now, Mick might sock him in the face.

Neat for finding a blog about Calipari "owning" Mick about a former recruit. You must be really excited about it. Grow up dude.

It is possible to be a great coach without being an @sshole about it. Calipari will never know greatness. Too much of a scumbag.

Sour grapes? About what? Go find me a banner at UMASS and Memphis still standing after Calipari left. Facts are facts.
