Boogie played 1 year, ONE YEAR for KY, and he understands our program and history better than 75% of the Kentucky fans out there! True fans are ride or die Big Blue fans! Through the up’s AND the downs!
Kentucky has always been on TV and they will remain on TV!
Rondo a beat them kids up lol
You from the south fasho. I read that like damn, thats exactlyhowIIwouldasaidthat
I like Boogie - but UK not being on TV\ - what the actual fuck! LOL! This dude doesn't understand this shit started WAY before him.
UK is going to be on TV, because Kentucky and North Carolina are where CBB does numbers.
Literally! Dude is Crazy for saying that! Bless his heart!
Kentucky won't be on TV outside of Kentucky yall must be locals but no more Kentucky ball games on TV in Cali Oregon Nebraska etc
Jordie Meeks Kentucky teams was on espn and CBS on the down years every year bro sayin nonsense you can literally make a quick search on teams school year for the season and it shows the opponents and tv channel the games was on
@@retrotv1988 it's Jodie Meeks and that was 20 years ago nobody cares about Kentucky basketball outside of Kentucky lol they'll be on TV 4 to 5 times a year just like 75 percent of the sec teams ..on espn 2 slow days during some Hawaiian season opening tourney and during the season when they play actual good teams since Texas and OU are coming
Big blue nation loves you forever Boogie!!!
I would love to see Rondo as coach but it kinda scares me at the same time because this whole former players as coaches haven't really worked out. Look at Penny hardaway at Memphis and Patrick Ewing when he was at Georgetown. And Juan Howard at Michigan and Chris Mullins when he was at St John's. They didn't work out at all. And cousins is right it's going to be really hard to replace Cal. Drew Scott is the favorite to currently be the next coach and he has missed the tournament or lost in the first 2 rounds in 15 of his 21 seasons at Baylor. And Billy Donovan has either missed the tournament or lost in the first 2 rounds in 10 of his 19 seasons at Florida. Those are the 2 options to replace Cal 😂. It's gonna be rough for us thanks to all the fans with unrealistic expectations
I've been pitching my vote of confidence in hiring Rondo as our coach as the best possible candidate that makes sense in many ways apart from Hurley, ever since the news of Cal leaving broke out. Hardly anybody took it seriously. Now that this video comes out, I see a lot of people commenting in favor of Rondo hiring.
I believe Rondo can recruit (both HS kids and transfer portal) even at some low profile program - let alone with the backing of Kentucky brand. Not to mention the ability to coach the game of basketball. I don't see anybody else besides Rondo who can still be that someone who can seamlessly have the alumni like AD, Boogie (may be on Rondo's coaching staff + Ulis & coach Welch that Rondo and Boogie very familiar), Maxey and the rest, stay in touch/connected with the UK program, and as well as other pros like the likes of KG, Paul Pierce, Lebron etc come drop by UK practices and/or for* games in Rupp arena.
So in short, we get the best of both in Rondo: the profile/ability to recruit AND the ability to actually fckin coach the team/players, which matters the most.
p.s let's not wait around just to "find out". I believe Rondo can not only right the ship, but he may very well be able to retain some of the incoming committed recruits, if not all. #BBN

Great call BOOGIE.
Time for COACH RONDO!
Said this on Reddit to get downvoted 🤣😅
Just one thing they were saying about how years droughts between coaches Bettino and Tubby took over for Bertino the year after Patino left we won a national championship, and UCLA has really only had one great coach John R wooden won 10 out of their 11 national championships, and we have five different coaches that have won a national championship at Kentucky, and four that are in the Hall of Fame
Lol. Cal at Arkansas is going to be fun af to watch..........
lifelong Big Blue fan and I would love to see Rondo in that spot
It would be like when Kenny Payne went to Louisville you can’t hire a head coach with no experience
@@solobusiness4320 yeah that's true
@@solobusiness4320payne was an assistant and a Knick assistant….
@@SFCAUSTIN1995 I feel bad for Kenny
You working on Kenny's car
UK too big a brand name to not be on TV, Boogie bugging
But if the team is trash and not winning they definitely won’t be on because nobody will be watching and that means low ratings=no money ucla is the perfect example
How is he bugging? Rondo would be better coach than all of these guys
He's not bugging about Rondo but everything else yes!
Yea. But if they don’t recruit the top players anymore now that cal left the will be on tv but it will be a lot less then the pass years
UK's brand is backed by a country wide fanbase of fare weather casuals. Same as Bama football. Jumped on board when they were winning and will jump off when they aren't. This goes for any program though. Kentucky isn't special.
Nobody squandered more basketball talent than John Calipari. It is what it is. Great recruiter. Terrific self promoter. Mediocre x's and o's "coach." 🤷♂️
They talk like Cal was the best coach ever. Lol. There were three titles served up and he only got 1.
Saying uk is no longer gonna be on tv is crazy
All respect for coach Cal and what he brought to the UK,he's bringing all talent to the razorbacks.Rondo would be a great addition to the UK.
Fax!!!
Arkansas won't "be on T.V." after the first weekend of the tournament because Cal will get outcoached there just like he got outcoached in Kentucky.
Thank you Boogie
Yessss
Yes yes!!
Way to early rankings already have Arkansas in the top 20… and they don’t have a single player on their current roster.
THE CAL-EFFECT
What about Rajon Rondo as the new coach at Kentucky
How about Walker!!!
His mind is not on the money!!
Rondo just got arrested for drugs 😅
I agree with Boogie to a certain extent, UK been putting player in the league way before Cal got there! BTW winning should be the standard for every college! UK still is BIG BLUE Nation...
UK Alumni here. Boogie shot an airball here. UK is bigger than Cal. Always has been and will be. It is why they are on TV. Biggest brand in Men's Basketball. The standard is national champion contention, not 3 straight home losses first time in 45 years or being bounded by teen seeded teams. The facts show post covid Cal has not been great by any standard.
I'm excited to potentially see them get back to the old ways of finding diamonds in the rough and molding them over several years. Most of these top recruits just want to avoid injury in their only college season, you can see the lack of effort year after year. Also, someone should really educate Boogie on the history of the school he played for, its getting ridiculous.
Rondo coaching UK in between classes would be absolutely delightful.
That would be great if rondo took the gig
Both guys have a great point
Rondo will be a great coach
We have Walmart Tyson Chicken and one of the biggest trucking companies in the nation JB Hunt
who said brad stevens lmaoo dude is the GM of the celtics he would be crazy for leaving
They can have the celebrities and recruits. We want a program not rebuilding every year and pushing people out. To actually see improvement than relying on pure talent. Cal gave us some of the best years of college ball. Its a new era. And i welcome being excited about something new.
Damn man Boog is really a all in podcaster now😢
Bro I love ya man you’re half right uk will still be on tv man the sec has thee biggest tv contract this coming yr Kentucky is still Kentucky one thing you need to cal went to down there to get the job he made move Kentucky didn’t fire him he left on his own I really like how all these utubers and podcast people have raised there subscribers numbers up by talking about Kentucky
I cant wait to see his reaction after he finds out Kentucky is hiring Mark Pope
Coach Rondo!!! My Class of 04 brother would be a great coach for Kentucky!!!
Cousins burned every bridge with the NBA, and now he's burning the one bridge he had with UK. UK is on t.v. because it has the largest audience and attendance, before and in spite of Calipari
This is the perfect coaching job for rondo but I doubt they choose him
I don't know he has a great resume and is the smartest player in nba history.
We’ve also got an A.D. that needed to be replaced A LONG TIME AGO! I would’ve been more interested in seeing Mitch leave than I would’ve Cal. Y’all that wished him gone will realize real soon how hard it’s going to be for a few years. I guarantee we’ll have to hire some random no name coach to get through a couple seasons until we can find a good coach that’s UK material. Which let me tell ya, are few and far between! Ya’ll just don’t seem to realize that a lot of fans bring too much baggage to the program and make it next to impossible to find a suitable replacement. No big name coach wants to try and compete against some of the ungrateful fan base we have. They’re subjected to too much scrutiny, and are ran off when they don’t have a perfect season every year. All we can do now is hope for the best, but us true fans were still fans during the extreme lows(Billy G, and Tubby Smith eras.) So you can bet we will still be fans during the next era! 💙 BBN
Hell yeah well said.. I don't care too much for Mitch I think they need a change all around, his ego is too big thinking he's the reason for all the success. Some of these people don't understand that UK has done it way before them and will continue to do it long after them. We do need someone with experience, you have to put in the work to understand all the different aspects in coaching. I would love it if Rondo was on the staff but I think he needs some experience before he can jump straight into coaching at one of the biggest schools. Yeah his basketball IQ is off the charts but you need experience to be able to translate that into coaching and getting the best out of kids. College basketball isn't what it used to be, you aren't gonna win the tournament with one year players every year, you might get lucky every once in a while. You have to balance the top recruits with players that will stay a few years and build a team. I imagine it's hard with some of the kids today since they can easily transfer schools or leave for the NBA because they want to play now instead of putting in the work and then being able to build a team around that. I also agree some of the fans are ridiculous, yeah I get that it's Kentucky and we want to hold them to a high standard but some of these expectations are just over the top. We don't need the fairweather fans, we have plenty of true fans that have supported the team for their entire life. I started watching Kentucky when I was a young kid in the early 90s because we're from Kentucky, my dad would watch Kentucky because his dad watched Kentucky and so on. I think we'll be alright as long as we find a good coach, but sometimes you don't know how good you have it until it's gone
Fuck that. He can be on the staff
Rondo gotta finish school first
Why lol
@NotoriousSSV have to have a degree to get a coaching job.
Not a problem.
You would have to be an idiot to think Barnhart would hire Rondo after his off the court trouble with the law on top of no head coaching experience
I’m a 56 Year old UK fan, I wouldn’t be opposed of ex KY player such as Rondo to be our next coach with wall.
You know why Kentucky will be on TV? Cause UK has more fans than Arkansas lol silly statement
I love Boogie and I get that he's loyal to Cal, BUT to think John Calipari is bigger than Kentucky is LAUGHABLE. Cal killed it for 10 years, but hasn't been coaching up to his standards written in his book these last 5 years. HE allowed relationships with local media, donors, and the UK athletic department to sour. HIS doing. Going forward, Kentucky is going to be fine just like they have been throughout it's history. Winningest program of all time. Most Final Fours, second most national championships, have more SEC championships than everyone else combined, etc. And the GT guy comparing UK to UCLA is also laughable. UCLA was great in the 60s & 70s. Have won only one national championship since 1975. Wooden was UCLA. Coach K was Duke. Bobby Knight was Indiana. Kentucky, Kansas, and North Carolina continue on winning no matter who the coaches are.
I wish nothing but success for Cal. But Arkansas fans need to understand what they're getting. He's extremely loyal to certain players over others, he makes ZERO in game adjustments, doesn't call timeouts, doesn't guard inbounds, doesn't run half court plays, will not play zone, and worst of all they don't scout and adjust how they play on offense or defense for any team. Calipari believes his teams are so talented that as long as they play the way he wants them to play they'll win regardless of who the opponent is. It's why we had zero clue what to do vs a 2-3 zone from Oakland, we couldn't defend a guy who had taken 8 2 pt FGs all season. I could go on and on. He's stubborn and believes his way is the only way. Also, Kentucky was great this past season offensively because of John Welch, who left Cal for Fresno State. You'll have one good assistant (Orlando Antigua), Bruiser Flint and Chin Coleman are useless. He's going to hire his son as an assistant also. Sure, he'll get some celebrities and his former players to come around and he'll sign some top 5 classes, but you'll find out rather quickly he's stubborn as a mule and if things aren't going well for him he'll dodge press conferences, he won't take accountability and he'll isolate the mens basketball program from the rest of the athletics department.
Rupp won, Hall won, Pitino won, Tubby won, Cal won. UK TEAMS won with DIFFERENT Coaches.
Is Kentucky 2024 recruiting class going with cal to Arkansas?
not if we bring in Rondo.
They saying uk is on the ucla level, ucla is going through it nowit is ky time.
Boogie is bugged out. We'll be on TV every game.. just like we been for the last 50 years.
Honestly his takes really reveal the problem of the Cal era. I love how Rondo torched him a couple of weeks ago when he tried to imply that Cal is the one who created the "standard" for Kentucky. Like, WTF, lol. Thats like saying that Roy Williams created the standard for UNC. You could see the clear difference between them on that issue. Rondo came to play for KENTUCKY. Boogie came to play for CAL. And there lies the problem. Cal's job is to recruit guys for the NBA. Not to recruit guys for Kentucky basketball. Therefore, hes getting players with lackluster loyalty to the program. Who only see it as a stepping stone because hes there, and hes the "NBA guy." Good riddance to that shit. And what good does it do, if they're losing anyway??
@billybob5337 Exactly. And we all know how much Cal loved to tell us how much NBA contract money "his" players have made. You are absolutely right about Boogie's takes. It was a fun era for a while.. It was all very mutually beneficial for a while, until it wasn't. And it hadn't been for several years.
I hope Rondo is a coach here all blue bloods
From Kentucky, an boogie is completely right man! sad asf seems like it’s the end of Kentucky being in that place to go.. I hope I’m wrong, obviously Kentucky is still Kentucky but cal is the top guy rn..
An I would actually love to see Rajon an boogie in the coaching staff but I would also like to see a push for billy Don
Yea sure. Hes the "top guy", who hasnt been to the Sweet 16 in 6 years, and is getting routinely bounced in the 1st round. And never had a single chip BEFORE Kentucky. You Cal fans act like this dude is Coach K or Pitino. Hes a recruiter for the NBA. He gets the best talent year after year, and has ONE title to show for it in 30+ years. Boogie's take is ridiculous. Saying Kentucky wont be on TV anymore just cuz Cals not the Coach. And you take him seriously??? This is Kentucky. These are Kentucky fans. Kentucky is a fucking BRAND that is far bigger than John Calipari. It has the most lucrative fanbase in ALL of College Sports. That doesn't have a thing to do with Calipari. BBN is BBN.
Boogie out of his mind. UK will still be on TV and will still have top 5 classes every year. UK made Cal, not vice versa. We have 8 titles with 5 different coaches.
Yeah hes nuts for saying that. He didnt have a fraction of the success he had at UMass and Memphis compared to the first 6 years at UK. And not a single chip. Coach K is FAR bigger for Duke than Calipari is for UK........and Duke has moved on fine without him. Cousins demonstrates the problem with the 1 and done mentality. A real lack of understanding for your own team. You saw it as nothing but a stepping stone for the NBA. Not the program for what it is. Dude played with the biggest program of all time, and he thinks it was only big because of the Coach he played for. Rondo really torched his ass over that one, lol
DeMarcus Cousins has the potential to be a good NBA analyst. These media outlets need to put him in the mix........
He needs his own platform tbh
Boogie is one of my favorite UK players of all time, but UK fans being upset with 1 ncaa win and 1 sec tourney win in 5 years, the longest home losong streak in our history, a 9-16 year, not even making a single final four in a decade =/= wanting a title every year. There are a few idiots that want that but the overwhelming majority of us want to be competitive and live up to our history. Really just an L take there.
Also, we were on TV with Gillespie lol. Thats not changing.
And no to Rondo. On staff? For sure. Head coach? Maybe in 15 years with some experience.
News flash UK has 8 Championships. Almost Every coach that coach there won one. Every single UK game is on TV are you smoking something,? That aint changing. You can look at the last 5 years 1 game won!!!😂😂😂😂
Has Rondo ever coached? Louisville tried that with Kenny Payne. All players don't make good coaches. Dan Hurley is a great coach because his dad was a coach and took his high school to many state championships. You don't get good at something unless you spend time working on it. Not smart hiring someone who never coached and expect big success. But if you want to just please the crowd, give it a shot. I am sure the rest of the SEC will love you for it.
After seeing Amin Elhassan jumpshot, he shouldn't be talking basketball fr.. and all these years he been on Espn and all other types of networks talking basketball as a credible source.. hell nah lol
bruh got arrested for having drugs and a gun a couple months ago. not the best idea right now
I’m wit rondo 🙌🏿🙌🏿
Everyone wants to be in NW Arkansas
Doc Rivers
Hell no! I love rondo but kentucky needs a proven coach
Boogie is dick-riding mad hard here. A guy who hasn't made the Sweet 16 in 6 years, is replacable. A guy who got knocked out by St. Peters and Oakland in the first round, is replacable. A guy who has 1 chip in 35 years using the BEST talent, is replacable. A guy who never had a chip before Kentucky, is replacable. A guy who lost the team's all-time most wins status to Kansas, is replacable. I know Boogie is being protective of Cal because of his personal relationship......but this is ridiculous. Kentucky won't be on TV anymore????😂😂 Thats like saying the Lakers would lose TV spots just because Phil Jackson retired. This is KENTUCKY. And John Calipari ain't Dean Smith.
Perfectly said. Loved boogie as a player but definitely don’t think it’s right to slander our program. You’d think he’d be more educated about our history before cal.
lmaoooo these comments are actually hilarious. Boogie Cousins just dropped some spot on analysis from 1st principles perspective...and yall didnt hear a word he said. Lets get this out of the way real quick tho..Kentucky is bigger than Calipari - FACT
alright BBN yall can spin zone coach cal choosing to go to arkansas which is right up near the peak of attendance & will out recruit UK over the next 3-5 years...could be longer if Coach Cal is killing it.
UK won a national championship 13 years before Cal showed up in Lexington..after Tubby's UK title you had 13 years of underwhelming results. Then Cal shows up right after the smartphone modern world was taking flight. He took UK to the PINNACLE of relevance for going on 15 years. Yes its been underwelming in march for last 4 runs but you were still guaranteed going to have the craziest talent year n year out. That is GONE for the short term BBN.
- transfer portal arrived and Calipari knows he has to better at tapping into the portal & he will adapt or he wouldve just walked away folks. Hes out to prove how fucking great he is.
- rondo is an incredible shout holy shit BBN i think hes onto something if yall dont wanna go thru pretty serious growing pains
He had his chance to prove that AT Kentucky. He outright didn't want to adapt to the portal, and said so. If he suddenly decides to do that at Arkansas, when he refused to do it at UK for SIX fucking years........then quite honestly, screw him for that. And the last 5-6 years have been WORSE than the the Tubby years. you damn well know that. Tubby was doing better with LESSER talent than what Cal has been doing since 2018. "Yes its been underwelming in march for last 4 runs but you were still guaranteed going to have the craziest talent year n year out." And that makes it better?? lol. Craziest talent that either missed the tournament or lost in the 1st round. If you're doing THAT bad with that kind of talent.........theres a problem. A big problem, especially with the salary you're getting. He had to go. Period.
#1 recruiting class doesn’t mean shit nowadays lol. Get dudes through the portal and pick up one or two one and dones. Thats why cal will continue to fail he just cared about being an NBA funnel
Didn't rondo catch a charge recently
Rondo lives in Louisville, not Lexington
He already makes the trip daily, if you know what I'm sayin lol
So what he's a multi millionaire
Rondo perfect COACH UK 💯
Cousins is corr😊ect!
Not going to happen , sorry to say!!!!
Tommy Lloyd
I have always enjoyed Boogie's personality, but he is not a candidate for MENSA. I suspect he likes the wacky weed and got hold of something that was a bit much for him.
Rondo ???? The 9U aau coach ??🤣
Sry but this was coming long overdue. Like nba, NIL this a business. Course going defend your coach, played for him. But got play for the University signs your checks. Maybe quit underachieving instead chasimg a bag or move the nba factory to Arkansas.
Yeah I like boogie too .. but he's honestly full of sh*t if he thinks cak is irreplaceable...lol. Kentucky was Kentucky waaaaay before Cal.... And if we're being totally honest Cal wasn't even really for Kentucky the whole time... He was about the league. And with the MASSIVE unheard of amount of NBA talent he recruited to UK and he only won 1 championship and got a couple final fours. With ALL that talent.... Shows it. 😆. Good recruiter. Sh*t coach. I loved Cal and appreciate the time he had here. BUT he's 100% replaceable. We need to get back to coaches who develop players over seasons and get away from the one and done model.
Love Rondo but he just got arrested WTH
Cal couldn't even win with Wall and Big cuz!
Never gonna happen. But would be dope though
Rondo=Irresponsibility
Rondo??? Stop 🤣
Arkansas has already been doing this with Muss. They been a hot spot, they been having a top recruiting class, they been having celebrities. Arkansas is hungry for a natty and coach cal love him or hate him he wants to win and it’s a perfect hire for Arkansas but don’t discredit what Arkansas has already built
Doesn't he beat women?? Mitch isn't bringing in someone with mental health issues.
Kentucky most overhyped team for the past decade ok Kentucky not even close to uconn 6 championships in last 25 years is underrated
He a recruiter not coach wants play young guy got have older guy now to win
You guy downing Kentucky sad pope going show you guy just watch
Coach cal being a shit coach cost Wall and Cousins a natty. 2-3 zone
Look he is a used car salesman and they will be better off with out ky they where great b4 cal and after cal and the last time ark. Could get that type of winning team was coach Richardson cal want get the type of guys there as he did in ky,Memphis, umass
This generation different. They sensitive, Rondo a cactus
And rondo will never coach uk get serious people
Does Cousins smoke Crack lol
Someone who was uncoachable you want to be a coach? Lol
Rondo was the coach
Who said Rondo was uncoachable?
He was hard to coach because he was smarter than his coaches 😂
Casual take
The responses are telling. You can always tell who wasn't watching in 06, Rondo was hardheaded, never listened to Tubby
Didn’t he just get a possession charge? Lol
A Louisville man running Kentucky 😂😂
Bs
They only had one blk coach in history, Tubby Smith smh
Hold on, Rondo that just got caught with all the drugs??
Weed?😂
😂😂😂
