On this morning’s SEC Coaches’ Teleconference, John Calipari said that the staff is still trying to “figure out” Archie Goodwin. Cal said that Archie has the mentality and drive to be a special player, but that’s he’s still “learning his way” and being too hard on himself:
“(He’s) too hard on himself, a la Derrick Rose. If he misses one shot, it leads to three more misses. If he turns it over, he can’t defend on the other end. Hasn’t put the emphasis on rebounding yet. But he’s a freshman. He’s doing well, and he’s gotten better as the year’s gone on. But opening up his mind, playing through mistakes, playing through turnovers, being in better balance and control, slowing down your mind – it takes years to learn that.”
Random Cal quote of the day: “These iPads are ridiculous, and you really can get stuff on those iPads for your staff and team quickly. You can blow through tapes much faster and with less frustration where you press a button and it goes too far ahead. I mean, they’ve got it down to a science, so it is much easier.”
Don’t lie, Cal. You just like your iPad so you can watch the “Hey Soul Sister” music video.

Cal with the Understatement of the Year.

I read a tweet from Erin Calipari where she said her Dad was singing “Rumor Has It” by Adele. First Train, now Adele? Come on, Cal!

iPad just announced they are coming out with a new UK version. Big Wildcat on the cover.

I know we shouldn’t live in the past, but I miss last years team. Not just the players, but the way they played as a team and played for their school and not themselves. They were one special group that comes along once in a lifetime. I hope next years team proves me wrong so I can say twice in a lifetime but we’ll see.

Wait until “Google Glass” hits the market.
Cal will Love these things for getting the message to the players:
“This is what I see!”

What does teamNF exactly?
February 25th, 2013 at 1:23 pm
Sounds like Cal is saying we should expect Archie to be back here next year.
February 25th, 2013 at 1:23 pm
That question made no sense! My bad! What exactly does teamNF mean and/or stand for?
February 25th, 2013 at 1:27 pm
I wonder if Archie having to play PG earlier in the season messed him up… I hope they do “figure
February 25th, 2013 at 1:28 pm
I wonder if Archie having to play PG earlier in the season messed him up… I would not want to mess with Cal”s iPad! haha

Watching this year’s Team is like watching a “scary movie”. It’s like things are going along just fine, but you know something is going to jump out of the bushes with a chain saw and start slashing everything into pieces. As a fan we can never let down our guard as this “thing” is always lurking in the dark and it can be real scary when it suddenly appears.

#15 – It’s ok. Uncle Julius will keep us safe.

2, Adele is she loosing weight?
Looks it from here Oscar show performance.

Fearing a diet plan (sponsor money) in her near future.

losing might work better.
February 25th, 2013 at 2:03 pm
We’re paying millions of dollars for a coach who makes groundbreaking discoveries like this?
ALL freshmen are works in progress and still figuring things out.

15) UK should be in one of those commercials for Direct TV. Cable is worse than, and then it would go on to show us playing really bad.
February 25th, 2013 at 2:18 pm
That must be a nice way of saying he’s uncoachable, a bit of a head case.
February 25th, 2013 at 2:50 pm
I think Cal has done a bad job of coaching offense for this team. Case in point Archie hasn’t hit a three in like thirteenth games and he only shot about 12 in those games how about you run him off a screen for an open jumper. Cams use to having athletes that can get buckets he needs to run more sets for guys to get open looks at jumpers instead of telling Goodwin and Harrow to go to the hole. IMO
February 25th, 2013 at 3:02 pm
Archie shooting more threes, open or not, is not the answer.
February 25th, 2013 at 3:14 pm
Nope, oldschool, we’re paying millions for a coach that gets us to the Final Four half the time and won a Championship just last year. Money well spent.
February 25th, 2013 at 3:25 pm
22) Every thing in your post is wrong. We actually run plays for Archie all the time. They set picks all game long for him. Even he has enough brains to not shoot the three. I have wondered all year why they don’t run double or triple screens for Wiltjer to get him open threes. Lord knows he cannot create a shot on his own,so he is the one I wonder why we don’t run more screens for.
February 25th, 2013 at 3:40 pm
I was not only talking about Screens for Archie. When was the last time you saw a screen for Mays Wiltjer or Horrow all of our open jumpers come off penetration. The only play ran for Archie is get the ball off of a curl go to the basket and hit the ground 2pts foul or turnover.
February 25th, 2013 at 4:08 pm
Sometimes I think about creating a list like dogs cats lima beans eggs or you.
February 25th, 2013 at 4:21 pm
NBA GM’s don’t care what I think, however;
Archie would be MY highest candidate to return for his 2nd season at UK.
Great Kid, Great person.
Needs time to Grow.

19, about 5 short years ago we were paying millions of dollars for a coach to get drunk on the golf course, chase after co-eds in hot tubs, and abuse our players, so I would happily spend my money on Cal instead.
A few miles down I-64 they were paying their coach to nail skanks after hours in Italian restaurants. In fact, they even paid for the after-the-fact birth control!
A few miles up I-65 they are paying millions for a coach to send out creepy tweets that were intended for players (or worse, who knows?), who has been to one final four in his coaching career riding the coattails of an NBA player.
I think we are getting pretty good bang for our buck, so far. At least it’s not the government!

Our Coach makes Millions for ALL of the CBB people looking to make money on college basketball.
