Adam Zagoria of Zagsblog has an interview with John Calipari posted to his Zagsblog site.
Here’s an interesting tidbit:
In his offense, Calipari likes having multiple point guards on the floor and said you can really never have enough.
“I’ve done it before,” he said. “When we got Chris Douglas-Roberts [at Memphis], we also got Antonio Anderson…We’ve gotten too specialized, where you can’t play two guards. You gotta play one guard. Why?
“I’d like to play three point guards. This offense with three point guards, as long as they’re big enough to guard other positions. Eric Bledsoe is 6-foot in bare feet…but he jumps 40 inches or more. So wait a minute, how small does he play? He plays 6-5.
“So now all of a sudden you got two point guards that play big. Well, let’s get another point guard and we’ll play real big. Now you’re playing against zones, you got more playmakers.”
Okay, I’m thinking the three point guard preference ties in with the Dribble-Drive Motion offense. Tell me what you think, and teach me a lesson or two, over at http://www.bluewithoutaclue.wordpress.com.
