Add it all up, and you still get an absolutely ridiculous efficiency margin of +0.27. Yes, you read that right, but you can be forgiven if you just spit your Coke Zero on your keyboard. (Hey, I almost did. It happens.) It's the kind of number you might...
According to Calipari’s website, “We will go through our normal practice routine for 30 to 40 minutes, break for a couple of things for you, and then we’ll scrimmage for two 10-minute halves. The first half both teams will play man to man and the...
But because of the age limit, he couldn't go pro, while not playing in college would have dramatically lowered his draft stock. He was supposed to accept losing millions of dollars because he couldn't pass an ultimately meaningless test that would have...

I saw John Calipari, Rick Pitino, and I did nothing. After that, I went hard when I came back.
They're playing the way Mike coaches ... He's setting the stage. ... Mike's teams are going to play different, and they take on his personality.
We went when we were college students. I think Coach [John Calipari] took us there. It's super historic. [It] kind of makes you think about certain things when you go there ... just being there was something special.
He understood that he had a brand before anybody understood or heard about brands. He was ahead of the curve.
They were flying from everywhere, from both ends. I thought we were at the carnival, at the shooting gallery ... I thought we were shooting too many 3s, but they were going in. As Coach (John Calipari) used to say, it can be fool’s gold. If you keep shooting them, at some point, they stop falling.
They don’t press like normal teams where if you complete a pass they run down ... They come running at you.
John Calipari used to call that fool's gold, because they can stop going down.
It’s another thing for our point guard to feel and work his way through
They are a great team, (John Calipari) is a great coach and it is a great program with a lot of tradition
People ought to be coming to the games and supporting this team
I see a number of new buildings going up
I always take a nostalgia drive around the University of Massachusetts
He has the guys he wants now, players he can take as freshmen and develop them over three or four years
We’ve got to learn to negate it ... I just keep saying it over and over. It’s not acceptable to get beat like that if you want to be a special team.
Their style of play unleashes guys ... They put it on the floor. If you can’t stay in front of them, they’re getting to the rim.
This was the first game he guarded
I’d rather them bump heads and knock it out of bounds against us ... than have us go half speed and have their guy get it.
Same guys ... Pushed, shoved, couldn’t come up with balls, and were accepting it.
Obviously not everyone thought we should be number one
They will try to steal every ball, dive on the floor, take charges
I’ve been thinking about the future of this program, and I need the BBN’s (Big Blue Nation’s) take on a scheduling scenario
I’ve been tough on them ... Not in a mean way, but just raising the bar to get them to forget that other stuff. Forget ranking. It’s a nice badge of honor, but that badge is a target for someone else. Let’s just worry about getting better.
This program is too important to overschedule based on the roster turnover that I believe will continue to happen
The last two days, I beat them up (in practice) pretty good ... We went longer than we usually do this time of year. I’ve been tough on them, just raising the bar just to forget all the other stuff. Forget rankings.
