Brad Calipari looking to make his own name

It's never easy growing up when your dad is a superstar coach.

That's the case with Brad Calipari. He's had to come of age while his father, John, has been one of the most recognizable names in basketball. Over at Bleacher Report, there's a good article Brad and how he's working hard to get out from underneath his dad's shadow.

"Right now, I'm creating a name for myself as I get better. People are going to start knowing me for me," Brad said.

Brad still has a goal of playing college basketball one day, but only if it's earned.
