John Ramsey, co-host of the Ramsey and Rutherford Show on 790 KRD, proclaimed during yesterday’s show that Louisville’s David Padgett is a better X’s and O’s coach than Kentucky’s John Calipari.
Padgett has now been a head coach for 12 games…ever. Calipari is a Hall of Fame coach with more than 650 on-court victories.
“If our in-state rival was Michigan State and Tom Izzo…or Coach Krzyzewski or someone like that, I would say ‘wow’ that’s a disadvantage,” Ramsey proclaimed. “X’s and O’s…I know our guy is a young 32-year old coach…I like our guy.”
You can listen to his full comments on the podcast here (around the 66-minute mark).
To Mike Rutherford’s credit, he refused to go out on the limb with Ramsey, who UK fans have come to know as “Captain Suntan.”
UK All-American Mike Pratt had a great reaction to Ramsey’s comments on Twitter:
