If you remember earlier this month Pat Forde wrote an article slamming John Calipari. Forde wrote another article about Calipari, only this time he’s not so negative.
Here is an excerpt from the article.
I’ll be honest, Cal: I forgot Lee was on the team. But you clearly kept him engaged, kept him confident – and you trusted him early in a huge game. The response was the Kentucky version of Tim Henderson’s two 3-pointers in the Final Four for Louisville last year against Wichita State. It was a season-saving performance nobody saw coming.
That is great coaching.
Now this needs to be said, too: You’re going to the Final Four with a team that is 100 percent of your making, and a team that is almost completely dependent upon freshmen. After providing about 64 games of ammunition since the 2012 title to those who weren’t sure one-and-done was a sustainable way to build a program, you’ve supplied a powerful rebuttal. Three Final Fours in four seasons says that your way works – it works better than any other way currently being implemented in college basketball.
You proved your point, and your team is still playing. How good does that feel?
