3x sweet 16
1x elite 8
8-8 vs Duke
8-10 vs UNC

and he can dance

 

[Tempest]

He will be.

 

[Brains]

Because the NCAA is a festering hive of scum and villainy.

He will be. What he has done at Miami is legendary. He is a good guy who is very well respected. He is a sure thing for the CBB HOF.

 

[Stan The Bat]

Matter of time. His run with George Mason had a huge impact on CBB and his time at Miami has been phenomenal.

They can't ignore his accomplishments.

 

[JackMcClinton89]

He will be eventually... what he has done at two "non-basketball" schools is incredible. The fact he has done it at multiple schools over multiple decades really highlights he is the reason, rather than just getting lucky with a nice run or two.

He's the only coach in NCAAB history to win 100 conference games at 3 schools.

And to do it at Bowling Green, George Mason, and Miami - that alone might be HOF-worthy

Umm I almost commented amazing that Calipari hasn’t taken Kentucky there but unless I’m really out if touch, doesn’t he have a title with Kentucky, Anthony Davis led squad?

I didn’t catch that originally. He’s been there four times with UK. Not sure why not included. Maybe they plan on them eventually being vacated or something.
