The following article by Parrish is a slightly more reasonable version of that which Clay wrote the day before.....
www.cbssports.com/college-basketball/news/the-pressure-could-be-mounting-on-john-calipari-to-deliver-another-championship-to-kentucky/
Both muse that UK should have more banners hanging based on the talent he's been able to assemble over the years.
Parrish suggests it's just the nature of the NCAA Tournament that prevents the "best team" from winning on a predictable basis. I would suggest that experience, maturity (both physical and mental), and chemistry matter more than most give credit. IF the assemblage of talent would consistently be on campus until they were upper-classmen (and the same lack-of-banners ensued) then there'd be justification for criticism. To sit back and judge based upon how talent eventually matures and retroactively bash for lack of results is hogwash.
If you don't appreciate Cal for the past 9-years worth of results you're outta' your friggin mind.
