The Kentucky Wildcats will have a new look come November with Coach Cal planning on using a two-platoon system.
Cal has shown us he isn’t the type of coach to try and make a square peg fit in a round hole. Instead he adapts to player strengths and the needs of his team.
Cal on using the two-platoon system in the Bahamas:
“The players are bought into it,” Coach Cal said in a preseason roundtable interview with local reporters last month. “They liked it. They all thought it was terrific.”
And going forward:
Calipari has fallen in love with the two-platoon system because of its versatility and its ability to include guys who have all earned the right to play.
“I’d love to play that way because it includes 10 guys, and really it includes all 12 because even the two that are left, you’re in the rotation of injury, somebody getting hurt,” he said. “If a guard’s not playing well, you’re in. If a big’s not playing well, you’re in. So everybody is into the rotation.”
