“With the strength of our guards and perimeter players, we need to get back to that style of play,” Calipari said at the time. “John will be involved heavily in our offensive strategy and will be our lead coach in on-court player development. We’re excited to have him join our program.”
That’s fine as long as the other 30 are 3’s. Alabamas shot chart was beautiful the other night. Not a single shot out of the paint or from 3.
Cals commitment to Ugo screwed everything up . We were better without him. .. play to your strength - scoring . Not some bean pole that adds next to nothing
Yeah hands of stone and bean pole are forces inside.🤣
Did you watch ANY of the early games before the 7 footers got in the lineup???
The scoring was better withe small ball lineup with Mitchell at the 5. Better spacing and passing with Mitchell out high. Of course the defense was bad and Ugo adds that.
It's not the other team holding the ball 25-30 seconds of the shot clock when we are on offense before you even attempt to run a set.
When? When is this happening? Just because you want it to be true and know someone will jump in and agree with your put down comments doesn't mean it really happens. Hell Adou has been playing the 4 and he sure as hell isn't standing in the paint
Like how does a dude have 17/10 without much practice and now he literally can’t be in a game? It makes no sense.
Painter will our coach him so bad it won’t be funny. He will run the same play with Edey 47 times in a row and Cal will stand on the sideline like Elmer Fudd.
Wagner has fallen off a cliff since floppy action came to be.
Putting John Calipari in charge of the UK basketball program without John Robic at his side or him not listening to John Welch, would be like putting a man with Alzheimers in charge of running our country. Either way it's a disaster.
Yes, I watched the games, and saw that. But where is there anything attributing a new offense to Welch? The Lexington Herald article had Calipari saying Welch would be involved with the offense too, but again seemed to indicate that his primary job would be working with the players - which is what I see when I see Welch. I'm sure he's involved with the offense, but I would assume the same for all the assistants. I just haven't seen anything attributing a completely new offensive scheme to Welch.
So you're saying you think Cal " changed" HIS offense??
If we had the lead Cal would go to the four corners if he could. He looks so lost out there.
I don’t know to what degree any of the coaches were involved in the offense this season. That’s why I was asking. I know if I ask for information related to basketball on this message board, then I’m likely to get some good references. In my opinion there is no better place to find out stuff about UK basketball than what you can find collectively here.
It’s baffling. I get confidence plays a factor but he seemed to play stronger than his frame would suggest those first few games. Now he gets pushed around like a rag doll, the Gonzaga game being the best example. Really thought he was the missing piece, especially after the first Florida game.
