Thank You! I get sick of the Kelly bashing here.
It’s not even about the Kelly bashing.
Kelly bashing is fine! As long as it includes substance, and you’re willing to have an actual discussion.
Cali isn’t interested, though. He offers almost zero contribution to the board outside of “Kelly sucks” or “Rees and Quinn suck because Kelly sucks.”
Or, “BK lovers don’t let us say anything negative about Kelly.”
Kelly has plenty of short comings, still, even after getting his shit together post-2016. He needs to take better charge of recruiting, and put the press on for a couple of elite guys in each class from the start, rather than trying to stay out of it until/unless he needs to act like the “closer” and push a recruitment over the top. He also needs to recognize that this team won’t hit a new gear on offense until they commit to downhill running, and supplement with outside zone, rather than vice-versa.
It’s okay to talk about that stuff, and to be pissy about it, and to bring it up when you feel like people are being too generous.
But if that is your ONLY contribution to the board? Then it becomes clear that you have no interest in the many good things happening around the program, or at least that you can’t bring yourself to admit that sometimes things aren’t as bad as you think, and you kind of tell on yourself with your silence in those good moments.
