Get used to seeing situations like this where you wonder what Calipari is doing. I give it 2-3 years before Kentucky fans finally realize, yes this guy can recruit, but he is not a good coach. The SEC will expose this along with more and more teams sagging back into a zone and slowing the game down. Bruce Pearl has already figured this out at UT and other good coaches like Donovan, Johnson, Pelphrey and Horn will figure this out as well. I put all of those guys ahead of Calipari in terms of bench coaching. Recruiting, not so much, except Darren Horn has assembled a good class next year over at USC and Donovan at UF hasn’t done a bad job either. Give Anthony Grant a few years and Alabama will be making noise as well. I’ve said it on here before, this is Calipari’s chance to win it as much as I hate to say that. Yet, I still don’t think he gets it done because he never has faired well in big game situations and probably won’t. Kentucky is a 4-5 loss team this year. UNC, UConn, of the UT games, another SEC road game and then in the NCAA makes 5 losses. I take nothing from the game last night other than it still shows Calipari still has no answer for the zone and that his teams still can’t shoot FT’s or from behind the arc. Execution of plays you can’t judge because it’s early but poor shooting is something you can read from the beginning.

Everyone was all excited about Wall running with Bledsoe. I’m sure it’ll eventually be a very effective offense, but last night – I would have rather seen a 5 for 5 substitution. Gold team/ Blue team. Tubbs did that and it proved effective in motivating some starters at times. If the 2PG offense isn’t working (by Bledsoe’s play – obviously it wasn’t) then we need to have a back-up. He’s shown he can run the floor, but I think he tries to create things that aren’t there when he has Wall out there as back-up. I think he thinks all eyes are going to be on Wall, these four defenders standing under the rim won’t notice when he runs straight into the key and get the ball taken away.
