This episode hit different then any past episode for me. I was SO CUTE to see Zach listening so intently to the coach & consistently having this genuine smile on his face! So heartwarming! The 1st half of this episode is the quietest I've seen the guys on this podcast. Definitely an episode that has to be watched vs just listened to. ❤️❤️
So proud I get to see zach experience one of his dreams
I know nothing about basketball but watching Zach’s whole body light up talking to everyone made me actually care to watch. Nothings more attractive then watching someone talking about something they love so much
Not something. But someone.
The thing about UK is people in Kentucky are really serious about their basketball. More people care about it than the derby. It's like a religion lol
It’s so surreal seeing coach on dropouts, coach Cal came to my marketing class to talk to us about sports marketing. Cal is such a nice person who took the time to talk to 300 college students at 9:30 in the morning. I have a huge respect for Cal and the team this will go all the way with Oscar and the rest! Can’t wait to go to a game this year at RUPP arena
Is 9:30 considered early or something?
This is one guest I would have never guessed but I am so amazed that it has happened
I like this podcast, the variety content really switches it up
Im New here but I’m a die hard kentucky fan and i been going through it lately and this episode made me smile and boosted my mood so much thank you for this episode and i will most definitely be subbed now
As someone who has been a lifelong UK fan I loved this. Coach Cal seems like the easiest guy to talk to
Zach I love this for you!!!
My first picture of me was in a Kentucky outfit so I feel you, I have been a Kentucky fan my whole life and hope to go there for college!
Love this for you zach, I know nothing about basketball but it's still enjoyable listening to people talk about things they're passionate about.
Lets go Kentucky ❤
The way I would fan girl. What a great expiration definitely one of my fav podcast episodes
I love kentucky basketball, grew up in lexington.. there is no way we win the championship this year. our offense is messed up, oscar looks hurt to me, same with wheeler. jacob is getting lost on defense. I think we should probably play small bal to win really, with Oscar Chris C.J. Antonio and Cason, and bring wheeler, toppin, and either ware, or big fella off the bench. I think Chris Livingston is such a unique player and hasnt really gotten a role yet, have him play PF the kid can rebound he is more athletic than anyone guarding him, and they can play super fast and 4-1 to give oscar space. Wheeler would be like an insane change of pace player off the bench same with jacob. Idk, my two cents.
Keep doing Kentucky podcasts please
10 years in the making calipari vs Self don't get better than that!
I love how most of the players were not excited when they first sat down and then Zach won them over.
Nothin but Kentucky B-ball... Great podcast
This is Zach fantasy come true
Hope Cal wins the next one, but aint counting on it.
Incredible pod. Keep up the good work
This 2022-23 Kentucky Team Has All The Key Components To Get Far In The NCAA Tournament In March 2023, I Really Believe The Cats Can Get To The Final Four And Possibly The Championship With Oscar Back And With A Great Shooter In Cason Wallace And Antonio Reeves And Defense Has Been Looking Really Good!!! 😉 Can't Wait For Tournament Time!!! 🐱🏀☝
They won't if Cal doesn't start actually doing some real coaching and calling... You see that Gonzaga game? 😬

Cool to see Cal do something different
I met my wife the year that Wall and Cousins were at ky! And she became a Kentucky fan!!!! Wow ! What a team
I was a high school sophomore. I remember like it was yesterday.
I’m going first bc I’m a lifelong fan… picks all of cals guys at UK😂
Keldon Johnson my guy, being from SA, He's ballin' for the Spurs.🥇
This aged so well 😂😂
I love the podcast I have watched every episode and I am currently rewatching all of them. I also miss indi I hope she comes back soon.
She's back in January
I just started watching is there a reason she's off rn
@@aviruchidawadi5919 she is back in Australia I forgot why
@@FoolishOne7 to be with family and the holidays
@@aviruchidawadi5919 i think her grandfather is sick or maybe i am wrong
I been saying this all the time!!!
UK will win 2023 National Championship🏀🏆
😅😂😂🐏
Well…
I agree with you on Adou, High Ceiling !
As a Kentucky native whos never missed a game in my 25 years of being a fan of the Wildcats. I'm just about done. Calipari can't coach, simple as that. Every year we have the talent, one of the greatest recruitment schools of all time, every year. But he just can't execute..
We honestly need to fire him he’s offense is so bad it wastes time and doesn’t give anyone a good shot or break down the defense so at this point he’s hurting this team more than he’s helping!!!!!
So who would replace him that would be not only a better coach but also be able to recruit just as well
I come back to this video with us 16-9 .has all these NBA players but missed the tournament 3 times this yr will be the 4 th a dam shame . Fire his crazy stomping finger pointing blaming the refs . And throwing his players under the bus. We suck and have for the last 4 yrs . No other coach would have this record with this. Team NONE. not this team and last yr and the yr before. Will be in the same situation until his sorry a$$ is gone. Gets paid way to much to miss 4 tournaments tubby got a 1/3 of what Cal made and made the tournament every yr . And do well . Sweet 16 is not good enough first round is not good enough NIT not good enough. This is Kentucky. We have standards here that's why he's getting paid what he is . What a waste . He was good for 5 yrs. Last 5-6 yr been horrible.
Team was better last season. Unreasonable fans forget that reason for the allure of tournament is the single elimination aspect of the tournament. They got upset. Virginia lost as a 1 seed to a 16 seed, and won the championship the following season. I don't think this team is as good, but hopefully they will improve. Once the tournament starts, you never know.
Had we finished the job in either 2014 or 2015, the nickname UndeNINEables would've been PERFECT.
Had to rewatch this after yesterday
Now John Calipari is leaving Kentucky for Arkansas
Kentucky >>>
More than MKG being a "glue guy" he was the "motor" that kept that 2012 team humming. He started the infamous "Breakfast Club", and he was a guy Cal could rely on to shut down the other team's best scorer, get a crucial rebound, or out-hustle anyone on the court to a loose ball. Without him, that team doesn't win a National Title.
The best episode 😁 #kentuckyisthebest
You should play a game called Jared or Tony Hintchcliff - they both record audio lines and you guess who said what
I know nothing about basketball, not interested at all. BUT I watched the entirety of this episode. Why? bc I love the pod, and love this for Zach.
I know it's early in the season right now! But we aren't very good right now, we don't have any quality wins right now, only Michigan which is a borderline quality win I think. SEC play is gonna be extremely difficult for us I think but hopefully we'll get better but honestly I don't think we'll win another title this year, no way!!!
Not every team is like the 2012 or 2015 team some teams need time to develop and I think this team will be scary good come march
GOAT BBN
Let's Go Cats
Zach, please sit down with the players more. That was so funny
Never happen with what we got
I am pretty sure zach is related to Skylar Gaertner somehow
I don't think so
Defense needs some work, but this (2023-24) might be Cals best team since Fox/Monk. At the very least, they're the most explosive team
Oof
🔥🔥🔥 this is dope
Yo if u guys have merch u should wear it!
0% percent chance. Zero. I miss Pitino. Cal is good at throwing his hands up and making a show on the sideline, that’s about it. We don’t run plays, it’s embarrassing. I miss watching us in the 90’s and early 2000’s. How do you give this guy a lifetime contract? Does not care about UK, but hey we are putting people in the NBA! It’s sad.
His "offense" boils down to 30 seconds of stall ball followed by either chucking up a well defended 3 (that we have no shot at rebounding) or barreling into the lane, out of control, hoping the refs will bail us out. (and probably missing free throws)
He was the last person in Rupp to figure out "Throw the ball inside to the reigning NPOY who outclasses the opposition in strength and skill by orders of magnitude" then In the post game presser he acted like he should be inducted into the HoF for a second time just for figuring that out. It boggles the mind.
@@ajhieb Very good analysis. If Bill Self had Oscar you would see how a big should be utilized. Cal is a great recruiter but not a very good bench coach and has no success at getting kids to accept a system where everybody has a role to play. And the dribble-drive style is outdated, good teams know how to handle it.
@@apacheking9776 We've run something that could be described as the DDM offense maybe three seasons since he's been here. In that offense you at least have ball handlers constantly probing the defense. There's actually some... wait for it... _motion._ Mostly we just play stall ball and hope our athletes can make a move one on one against their athletes. (Unless they're playing zone in which case we throw up a clanger at the end of the shot clock and hope we get an offensive rebound.)
It's painfully frustrating to be a UK fan these days. If you went to KSR every day and only read the former player NBA updates, you'd think we'd have a dozen banners since Cal got here, given the quality and quantity of talent that's come through.
That said, I'm not one of those unrealistic diehards that expects a Championship every year, but given the resources UK has given Cal (not to mention the salary) I expect a winning season, every season, no exceptions, no excuses. I expect to make the tournament every season. And I don't think it's unrealistic (again given the resources involved) to expect to make it out of the first weekend 75% of the time. It's a single elimination tournament. I get it. Upsets happen. But they seem to be happening to UK at a far greater rate than they used to.
@@ajhieb March Madness early exits are a glaring issue. UK becomes a collection of incredible athletes but no cohesion. That's on Cal. He waves his arms in frustration for the cameras and it's getting old.
The coach is talking so much can do it on his own?
We can’t beat a top 25 team much less win the NCAA Tournament.

KANSAS VS KENTUCKY ROCK CHALK REPEAT!!!!! 5 TIMES A CHARM that's what I want. Sorry BIG 12 Had to get a word in.
nope just lost to vanderbilt
And their season ends by losing to Kansas State and that “little kid” Nowell
Where is Indiana she hasn’t been on the show in a while.
Should have asked him about the down cuts with no screen? Or the complete lack of willingness to change his defense.
Lets Go Cats
Where did you get that jacket
He is the opposite of vic blendz
Platoon was the best
My MSU spartans beat them
Lol this was great, and an interesting crossover that I didn't expect 👏.
what happen to indie where has she been ?
Australia
Zach killed her
Help me find the blue/Black jacket rn
Did I miss something or is Indiana not on the podcast anymore? It's been like 2 and a half months since she was last on
She is supposedly just in Australia visiting family that have health issues and is supposed to be back in Jan
No way Calipari ever wins another title. Look at the 2015 team he had and lost. Pathetic
pain
I wanna see them get coach k
???
@@jasonkeith9317 I assume you don’t follow sports (sorry if that came of mean) but coach k aka Krzyzewski was the men’s duke coach for a long time he was also the USA coach when it came to coaching fiba
Sadly, we're no longer the gold standard.
#firecal
I’ve bet on them
We are really bad
its SAWvir not SUHvir
Huge UK fan. My fondness for Calipari is waning. Great at signing talent. Not so great at getting the best from that talent. He needs to stop hiring recruiters and get somebody on the bench that can draw up an inbounds play or put together a competent offense.
The biggest indictment of Cal is that he's a 63 year old HoF coach and if you look at his coaching tree, it would best be described as "non existent." If he's good at the Xs & Os, he sure isn't sharing his secrets with anybody.
Couldn’t disagree more. The whole concept of winning a College Basketball National Championship is basically impossible. The 68-team, single elimination tournament very rarely allows the best team to win. It is MUCH different than the professional level playoff format. “March Madness” is one of the top grossing sporting events in history, though, so it will never change. If anything, the NCAA will add more teams to the field and NEVER move to series-type matchups.
@@andreareynolds6143 _"Couldn’t disagree more."_ Disagree all you want. Your reply addressed literally none of the points I made. He's been putting a subpar product on the floor for several years now. He's getting outcoached by D-II coaches, and his offensive strategy would best be described as "Try to score. If that doesn't work, try harder." He doesn't call timeouts in critical situations, not because of some brilliant strategy, rather because there's no point in him and his assistants staring blankly at each other because none of them know how draw up a simply inbounds play. (Or get a shooter open, or do anything a vaguely competent basketball coach should be able to do)
That's not to say the situation is hopeless. Hiring an assistant or two that actually understand the game of basketball beyond "My guys are higher rated than your guys, so my guys should win" and then letting them actually ply their skill would do wonders. But I doubt Calipari's ego would allow for that. But if you like our miserable tournament record as of late, keep cheering for the status quo I guess.
Hey, remember when UK had an insurmountable lead on the all time wins list a few short years ago? We're second now.
@@ajhieb I don’t think you truly understand how hard it is to be able to be a consistent top program in college basketball only 15 coaches have more than 1 NCAA title and cal also has the 15th highest Winning Percentage in NCAA Division I basketball
@@jarreddeno9486
_"I don’t think you truly understand how hard it is to be able to be a consistent top program in college basketball"_ How hard is it to consistently have a team with a competent offense? Cal has Top 5 talent on the floor every single season. If that Top 5 talent isn't delivering Top 5 results, where do you reckon the problem is?
_"only 15 coaches have more than 1 NCAA title"_ So what? My critique of Calipari had nothing to do with NCAA titles.
_" cal also has the 15th highest Winning Percentage in NCAA Division I basketball"_ Not over the last 5 years. He has a pretty pedestrian Win% over the last 5 years.
@@ajhieb two things they have missed the tournament just twice since he has been hired that was the nit year when the best player tor his acl in mid February they have him they at least make the tournament. And I ignore 20-21 season for every team. He has been to 7 elite 8s, 4 final 4s, and 2 national championships. Then my next question is who would replace him that would be what you make it seem like a massive upgrade. Remember the years before cal with they went 40-27 and didn’t make it out of the first round of the NCAA tournament where cal is at a 372-103 record
Lmmfao wrong
This aged soooo badly 😂
They absolutely will not win the natty this year
And Louisville will win out the rest of 22/23. LOL
We won one game and it didn't count
@Robert Miller Kentucky seems in a similar coaching boat but has the talent to win against decent teams. Not real good. Just decent 😉
@@rushmore3927 Louisville can't win with this bunch. They just aren't any good. Chris mack was disappointing and he left us in this mess. Kenny Payne was left with this
@@robertmiller6318 Yep, hence my point that Cats are winning by pure talent and hit the wall when a team is really good. They compensate for poor coaching with talent.
@@robertmiller6318 Hopefully KP is able to correct the trend in a positive direction.
He tries to be funny but is just out right disrespectable and really has no self awareness
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Just Calculated! April 23rd, 2024 is the 200th episode of the Dropouts Podcast! That is crazy!
I really wish somebody would ask coach Cal who is the better rebounder between Oscar Tishebwe and Marcus Camby. 😩 I just want to hear what Cal thinks about that. Marcus Camby was a beast on the boards too.
Came because of Coach Cal interview..love it!! Bleed blue
I’ve just started watching your shows and I had no idea about you all loving Kentucky :)
I had seen this interview before as a UK fan, not knowing Zach...but now Zach is everywhere and Coach Cal is out at Kentucky. I had to comeback for a 2nd watch. Zach saying Theiro as his favorite player, 💯.
Click bait
Won’t even be a Final Four team
2015 was last final four
You have 4 teams in SEC alone that are better and ranked ahead
If he does not get out coached like he did with the 38 and 1 team's loss to Minnesota
I’m from Kentucky, cool to see some rep.
Canada and Frederick being in bowling shoes is amazing
BS
Want 2 bet. I'll take the field you get kentucky. PS. peacocks
