PrintIt's like when Ax and Smash drew one and two at the '89 Royal Rumble.
1. John Calipari
Rap Sheet:
--Was John Calipari.
--Behaved like John Calipari.
--Fell short of the Final Four for the 21st straight season.
4. DeMarcus Cousins
Rap Sheet:
--Blatantly elbowed Jared Swopshire during the first half of the Louisville game.
--Was not thrown out, and play eventually resulted in free-throws and possession for Kentucky.
-- Finished the game with a dominant 18 points and 18 rebounds.
--Was labeled a "potential mass murderer" by Card Chronicle. Outrage ensued.
--Continued his elbowing and unlikeable ways for the rest of the season.
--Was vigorously defended and labeled as "colorful" by the Kentucky fan base.
--Did not appear in the Final Four.

I thought this would be an easy one.....
but when my mouse hovered over one or the other, I found it more difficult than I had imagined. In the end, I went with the coach. We only had to dealo with Cousins for one season. Slimy we may have 2 or 3 years
Go Cards!
No Brainer
Cousins was just a player in a heated rivalry game. As a UofL Fan i will say it looked like swop gave a lil knee to the head and cousins was just attempting to get the ball by throwing bows. who cares players always play rough in that game Cousins progressed as a person throughout his career whether u wanna hear it or not.
However, Coach Cal will always be a scum bag the kind that you just wanna beat in the face with a 9 iron.
Is this a joke?
Cousins progressed as a person?! I hope that is just your witty sarcasm. You can’t be talking about the same thug that threw punches on tv at USC.

Most hated coach ever or most hated Cat ever?
Hmmm…

Calipari's rap sheet is incomplete.
The threat to Reggie Delk is, I think, the most disgusting thing he’s done, particularly from a U of L perspective. He’s an adult. He shouldn’t have gotten involved in that foolishness.
Easy call: One's an adult and a coach; the other's a thug but a kid
Calipari is making his own decisions with a fully-formed personality. He’s always been a crook and a con artist; will always be. Even when he’s pictured doing good things, such as taking help to the unfortunate people of Haiti, you can’t help but picture him telling himself, “Yeah, this is a good thing to do ‘cause it’ll help the ol’ image and maybe get some people off my back….”
What a despicable human being.

Without Calipari, we probably wouldn't have encountered Cousins
He’s the source of the stink and gets my vote.

Can't they both win
or lose or whatever. I can’t stand either of them.
Have to go with Cal.
He was on my list long before he even got to
UK. Plus, I get tired of him stealing high profile recruits and being hailed as one of the greatest coaches in America when he hasn’t even win anything anywhere. At least Cousins has legitimate talent.

Cousins... again
Because, and I repeat myself… Cousins is disgusting and has no redeeming social value.

I would always root for UK
when they weren’t playing the Cards, but that is until Calipari was the coach.
I hated Memphis until he left, so this one was easy for me. Cousins is a kid… Cal has always been a whiner. Sorry UK, but while Cal is your coach, I silently pray for another Darius Washington moment to happen to Cal’s team every year.
