ESPN's 30 For 30 on Calipari

[OUHoops]

Just watched it tonight.

Not sure if this was the first showing or if it's been out a while, but look it up and give it a watch. Whether you like Calipari or not, and I'm sure most of you don't, it's intriguing stuff.

I absolutely love ESPN's 30 For 30's on College Basketball topics. The Fab Five one was good too.

Brand new. I like him more after this show. Coaching wise.

I saw it too. I don't know how i'd feel if OU was in that spot, attracting tons of one and dones... I like the college game, period. I couldn't care less about the NBA. Part of the fun of college basketball is following recruiting, signing excitement... Watching guys come in and develop over 4 years. I guess if you can win like that then great, but he's only won what, one natty? More than OU, but.... I just think for college fans it'd be hard to get too close to a team every year when most of them bounce. I don't know I guess Kentucky fans don't mind.

The one on Christian Laettner was pretty good too.

Requiem for the Big East was my favorite college bball one. Haven't seen the Calistoga one yet.

Was the show about the North Carolina State NC team and Jim Valvano a 30 for 30 show? It was excellent.

Yes it was called Survive and Advance.

I would be interested in their view. For him to do something like this at Memphis, OU, or another non-blue blood program is one thing. But to have to do it at UK where they've won championships the traditional way, it almost comes across like a gimmick.

I'm sure I would not have liked him as a coach (i.e. playing for him), but I have more respect for his ability to coach, or at least get 110% out of his players.

The Big East one was the best. I wasn't into college basketball back then and just seeing all the craziness that was the Big East back then was interesting.

Enjoyed that one as well. Guess I need to check out the one about the Big East.

Only caught the last 20 minutes of Phi Slamma Jama but it was excellent. Pure pathos with Benny Anders.
