Myron Medcalf compiles a list of the top 10 candidates for National Coach of the Year for ESPN. Coach Cal is #9 on the list. Here is what Myron has to say about Cal:
[I]John Calipari (Kentucky): Laugh if you’d like. I know some folks think Calipari plays games on his smartphone while his superstar freshmen take care of business. Well, how does that theory (that Calipari doesn’t really coach these studs as much he lets them freestyle) explain the development of Anthony Davis’ offense? Or Kentucky’s seventh-ranked adjusted offense and defense (KenPom.com)? Calipari is molding this young group. Don’t believe it? Let’s talk in New Orleans.
[/I]How flattering…Its going to be very interesting to hear what people have to say about Cal after he cuts down the nets with a predominantly freshman team.
