Cal.

Pearl has had our number past two years. But there’s something about relying on shooting 30 thread a game that doesn’t sit well for me. They shot 43 free throws and took almost 30 threes tonight. You aren’t getting 40 free throws come tourney time. They let a lot more stuff go. And relying on hitting threes I’ve never been a fan of.

But now coach Cal is no saint. He doesn’t make any adjustments throughout games and never has. That’s just his style. Cal coaches when he recruits, he gets nba guys that can get a simple screen up top and go make a play. And then about halfway through the year he gets his guys feeling with one another and we make a good run in the tourney until it’s time for Cal to make adjustments and have to coach us to a victory without having one of the superstars carry us.

So many people have said who else would you want at UK. And my answer is nobody. I think Cal is the only person that can deal with the bright lights of Kentucky without it breaking him or being too much pressure on his back. So I take the good with the bad.

I know it's a long shot Brad Stevens.
There are several coaches I would take instead of Calipari. I never wanted him to come to UK in the first place. That being said coaches I would like at UK besides Brad Stevens are
Jay Wright
Scott Drew
Possibly Chris Beard
To answer the question of the thread I will take Bruce Pearl over Calipari for the reasons Hoot stated.
