Calipari – a good guy or a con artist?
I’ve heard John Calipari described as a con artist who wins through recruting only – and through shady recruiting too. Having seen the Kentucky All Access DVD’s I’m very sure that the man can coach, and can coach really well (those DVD’s come very recommended).
On the recruitment – and on the man in general – Sports Illustrated ran a feature article a while back (which I only just saw). It’s a really good insight into what makes a big-time college coach:

Butler Bulldogs
I’ve been quite impressed with the play of the Butler Bulldogs in this year’s NCAA Tournament.
Specifically I’ve been impressed with their inside screens. Pop over to the NCAA on demand page and have a look:
Notice how Butler constantly are using their bigs to create space on the inside by sealing the post defenders, often from the inside. Whenever the defenders front the post the Butler bigs will just seal on the inside – and this creates a lot of space, and it occupies the post defenders so they help less.
This is somethingthat tickles my brain. I really like it, and I will look at how you can use this in the Dribble Drive.
They often manage to take away the
Kentucky and the Dribble Drive
I’m sure a lot of you guys around the world are following the NCAA tournament. If not may I just remind you that all the games are available right here:
With my interest in the Dribble Drive I’ve been following coach Calipari’s teams for years, but mostly in the post season, as very few NCAA games are shown in Europe during the regular season.
One thing which surprised me watching this season’s Kentucky matches is that they have pretty much gone away from the Dribble Drive as an offense, and I think they look stagnant because of it. There is a lot of pass, stand around. Pass, stand around waiting for a pick-n-roll. Pick-n-roll, hesitate.
