true...still what an asshole

4/9/2006 4:04:00 PM

It's well beyond the "ask for permission" stage of the discussions.


We flew out there for a reason. You wouldn't fly out there just to interview someone or to ask permission to speak with them.

There would have to be heavy interest from both sides, and I think the flight was more of a "sealing the deal" thing.


Since the plane was only grounded an hour or two, I'll guess that it involved a contract and/or meeting the lawyers?

would you like another program talking to your HC?

fuck no, hes not an asshole, hes trying to save his program.

4/9/2006 4:05:29 PM

what would be funny, but sad, would be if the plane landed in Memphis and the memphis AD was like standing in front of J.C. and was like dancing not letting us talk to him for 3 hrs till we gave up

4/9/2006 4:05:35 PM

Also, you don't have to have permission to speak with a coach.


It's along the same lines as asking a father for his "blessing" of his daughters hand in marriage. Not something required as far as I know, just a professional formality

no

4/9/2006 4:08:20 PM

i wouldnt be suprised if the CUSA commish didnt try to sabotage this, too.

CUSA is dead if Calipari leaves. The next best coach left is Tommy Penders.

4/9/2006 4:09:11 PM

been gone for awhile and dont feel like reading through the pages...

whats the deal? calipari a lock er what?

4/9/2006 4:09:18 PM

no one knows.

4/9/2006 4:11:32 PM

its official

4/9/2006 4:16:06 PM

it was a shocking swerve! we went to memphis to pick up buddy guy. he's our new band director.

4/9/2006 4:21:58 PM

^that would make me just as happy

4/9/2006 4:23:04 PM

so word is we went to talk to Cal

stayed for about an hour

plane came back and Lee stepped off no Cal on board...which is normal. But we do know that he went to offer Cal the job.

someone correct me if any of that is wrong.

4/9/2006 4:24:07 PM

The only thing I can say about it is that it's all true, but no one knows exactly why they went.

Did you hear he had a contract with him?


I think it's perfectly safe to assume that's why they went... but I don't know that for a fact.
Everything else in your post is 100% correct

Fowler has basically said he wouldn't do a face to face with someone unless they were serious about the job and we knew the answer. I think the contract has been signed and Cal is just meeting with his players

That is exactly why I think JT3bucky is right

4/9/2006 4:26:52 PM

haha i dont wanna share premium crap and get in trouble packbacker

but I just got a PM wink wink, that indeed Cal is going to be announced soon enough as the new guy.

Fowler doesnt fly on Sunday just to 'talk' or interview a guy, it was a VERY serious trip.

4/9/2006 4:29:53 PM

I'm not going to believe shit till I see a PC.

4/9/2006 4:30:19 PM

I'm premium over there, so give me the info of the pm

4/9/2006 4:30:53 PM

its official

4/9/2006 4:31:01 PM

yay we got a coach with a .. .... website.

4/9/2006 4:31:29 PM

if it is true and calipari is our coach, are you going to cry because we have a quality coach?

4/9/2006 4:32:41 PM

haha my God you people are fast

this threads about to blow up again

nutsmacker just check PP, its easy to find info in the premium part, they knew the MOMENT the plane landed and how many minutes it stayed grounded, who was on board...everything.
now its just a sit and wait deal.

4/9/2006 4:33:48 PM

^^I am.

man, i don't want to believe this until i see a press conference or something.

but i can't help but get my hopes up.

i did it with barnes, and here i am doing it again. i hope this time there are different results.

holy crap. frickin john calipari!!! eat it doyel!!!!!

[Edited on April 9, 2006 at 4:35 PM. Reason : btw josh, please follow herb to arizona. no one, especially cal, wants you here anyway.]

4/9/2006 4:33:59 PM

Calipari is a greaser. I don't trust him.

4/9/2006 4:35:57 PM

I bet he wont give pizza to campers

4/9/2006 4:37:10 PM

we got our wop. but im not complaining.

4/9/2006 4:37:13 PM

i thought you had something more substantial than that JT3Bucky

4/9/2006 4:37:14 PM

basically, the guys over there, the big boys..when they post its normally pretty close to accurate

they could be wrong, but most of the time even with the Barnes scenario they had it pretty close, they knew when we offered him and how much long before it ever came out

so right now, all we can be certain of without getting in too deep and without getting hyped up to be dissapointed

Lee flew to Memphis and made an offer...that has been confirmed, the only thing we dont know for CERTAIN is if Cal agreed.
thats all im gonna post, Masters time now.

4/9/2006 4:37:21 PM

im going to go watch rich people hit their balls

4/9/2006 4:41:26 PM

I'll say this:

If he's coming here, we're getting a good basketball coach. I hope we get a clean one, and I'm going to be nervous as hell for a few years until I see how things pan out in that regard.

4/9/2006 4:43:01 PM

i am tired of zero wins.
