I went to UMass and thought Cal was a little sleazy in recruiting. He left Umass and Memphis without rings while their programs suffered and their final four history was tarnished. Meanwhile he got a dream job and was attracting the best recruits without caring about them leaving after a year for the NBA.
Anyone else have their opinions change of him as a result of the show?
I thought Coach Cal was honest, realistic, and loyal to his players. He knew that for him to benefit ($, future top recruits and subsequent Kentucky wins), he needed to get his guys $ in the NBA. The Dajuan Wagner situation really made me think that he would not have benefitted from more school. The schools may actually be more sleazy by profiting from having a sophomore or junior win games for them when he could have been drafted the year before. Helping poor, talented kids generate game changing wealth seems more altruistic to me than making them take classes they're not interested in.
I thought it was a very good 30 for 30.
