FAYETTEVILLE — Arkansas men’s basketball coach John Calipari had a rule change for 7-2 Zvonimir Ivisic going into their first season together with the Razorbacks.
“I’m not letting Z — you ready? — shoot any threes,” Calipari said on July 29. “He wants to shoot. Noooooo, no. You’re not shooting threes.”
Now?
“What I did find out today, which I kind of knew, I hate that,” Calipari said Wednesday after the Razorbacks’ 65-49 win over Troy, “but Z’s probably got to take 5, 6 threes a game.”
Oh — even if begrudgingly — how times have changed.
