Whenever Brad Calipari has the ball in his hands, a murmur can be heard in Rupp Arena. It escalates into an audible plea. It goes something like this: Shooooot!!
“I don’t really listen to it too much,” he said Thursday with a smile that suggested he’s all too familiar with this sound. “I’m not going to shoot every ball when I go in. I’m going to make the right basketball play. And if I have a shot, I’m going to take it.”
His father, Kentucky Coach John Calipari, explained. He reminded reporters of an earlier game in which his son did not have a quick trigger on his shot.
