Cal: UK rhythm ‘stinks’

Kentucky Coach John Calipari said on Wednesday that his team could use drill work to improve fundamentals and scrimmage play to improve their sense of rhythm.

Given that choice, Calipari said he would emphasis scrimmaging.

“We need a better rhythm,” he said. “Our rhythm stinks.”

Calipari described the Cats’ sense of pace as “We race up, that means shoot it fast.”

Wrong, the UK coach said.

With his freshman-oriented team, Calipari said he figures he will spend an hour a day showing the players video tape of how the game should be played. He said he spent about 10 minutes per day in such activity with his older, more experienced Memphis teams.
