Message: [QUOTE="orangecuse, post: 2232886, member: 668"] Calipari is just like Nick Saban. Both couldn't cut it at the professional level where the playing field is far more level from a talent standpoint. UK and Alabama respectively get the cream of the crop consistently, and, unequivocally, the proximate cause of their collegiate successes. Hardly debatable in my view. On a somewhat related matter, I've always maintained a similar position in regards to Phil Jackson and his anointed 'Zen Master' status. He was as fortunate as any coach could ever be, having attain those championships on the coattails of MJ & Co. as well as Kobe & Shaq in their primes too. The 'Zen Master' of masquerade in my book.
