Calipari's annual fizzle

John Calipari has  been at Kentucky since 2009. Every year he rakes in tons of one-and-done "rent-a-championship" style talent. Every year they automatically are in the Final Four prediction.  But once - ONLY ONCE - have they won the national championship during Calipari's reign. Sure, other teams get one-and-done level talent, but usually not in droves like Kentucky does. I would say Kentucky is probably not getting a very good return on their coaching dollars investment, at least in production. Recruiting, certainly. But (perish the thought!) recruiting is not all there is to coaching basketball.
