The House of Blue

Cal says he won't be the '24/7' coach of Dominican team he was last summer. Rod Strickland will be handling a lot of day-to-day stuff.

On new rule to allow two 1-hour workouts a week this summer: 'It's better than none.' More worried about their work ethic

Calipari says he may be interested in getting involved with USA Basketball at some point but that there are 'a lot of qualified coaches'

Cal: 'If Anthony is in great condition I really like his chances (of making USA Olympic team).'

Cal: 'I'm not scheduling for anyone else. Schedule for America? No. I'm scheduling for us.'

Calipari just went all WIzard of Oz (ironically playing at Kentucky Theater tomorrow) with "Because, because, because, because, because"

Cal, on IU's idea that you have to play games on campus for the students: 'Are they that poor? It's only 2 hours away.'

Calipari says all of the incoming players for 2012-13 will either be in Lexington for the 8-week session (starts next week) or 6-week one

This isn't a great thing.

agreed, andwe could see some of them on the same teams. Lamb and Miller will be steals WHEN they are picked. (crosses fingers the my celtic's pick Lamb)

Yeah, this is a very deep draft. No shame in being a high second this year. Notice the lack of international players in the draft this year compared to last? They usually come out when the draft is weak so a team can take them and shelve them in Europe for a few years. Not this year. Every first round pick should be at least a rotation player for whoever drafts them.
