Basically, I do believe Cal is a decent person. He does care for his players. I do not prefer his court side manners and antics. He should get T’ed up for being on the playing surface during live action. I’ve watched him live several times. If I was playing I would run over him! That’s who he is, I get it. He’s easy to not like as coach if you’re the other team’s fan base. He reminds me of Saban and Kirby constantly whining to refs trying to get a call. I love the professionalism of CRB. He is in class by himself. Mr. Barnes is a gentleman and highly respected by everyone. His relationship with his Savior is on display at all times. We are blessed to be able to experience high integrity and character on display. He can still get excited and tear into officials when needed. I love the Grant Williams story that Coach Barnes was so crazy and wild he had to saved! Hopefully the link below works.

Cal is fine. He just likes to talk a lot but never says anything insulting. My wife is a UK graduate. Cal had a podcast at Kentucky so I'd listen to it with her. It was so much fun. He always had great guests. But he never let them talk. He'd have Coach K on and ask him a somewhat challenging question. Then proceed to spend the next 10 minutes answering the question himself. We laughed a lot listening to the guest trying to squeeze in a word or two.

As a Tennessee fan I used to hate Cal. I have gotten to like him over the years. I remember a game where Tennessee just beat Ky’s brains out. He said “Tennessee ran over us and then backed up and ran over us again”. He likes to talk and is a ham. He is a good coach as his record indicates.

That's the reason I couldn't stand Letterman. He'd get interesting guests scheduled, and they wouldn't get to talk.

I think Callipari is a good guy. Barnes is a rare person who coaches high level ball and always tries to put his faith first. Hard to do for anybody but particularly a person in a profession that requires them to perform on move on.

Callipari got both UMass and Memphis put on probation, then, appropriately, left for Kentucky. He is, however, mini mafiosi compared to Pitino. Kind of Fredo to Michael.

The refreshing thing about Barnes as a man of faith is that he is sincere about it. He simply lives it. He's not using it as an advertisement or to judge or in the hypocritical manner that so many public figures do. He's not making a show of it like Dabo or Tebow and others. He just walks the walk.

Can’t comment on Dabo’s life but you are mistaken if you think Tebow just lives a spiritual life when the camera is on. I feel he is just as genuine as CRB. At least in the special guest speaking he had done in E Tenn.

You're wrong about Tebow. Dude lives and breathes his faith. He opened an orphanage in the Philippines for crying out loud

Agree 100% I'm also very impressed how he's handled Bishop Boswell. That cat has really come on.........

The one thing I hate Barnes did with Boswell is not play him more last year. We had so many lopsided wins and losses.

Boswell is exactly who I thought he was gonna be. He was too talented coming out of high school. Not sure why folks are suddenly surprised at his play.

Didn’t expect him immediate impact but wished he got all the garbage time + being in the S&C program.

Boswell has chance to be another minor version of ZZ. If Barnes doesn’t retire, Boswell is gonna be the general of the team next year.
