John Calipari Supports Playing NCAA Tournament in a Bubble

In a Thursday night appearance on ESPN Radio’s The Intersection, Kentucky’s men’s basketball coach shared the measures his team has taken to safely prepare for the upcoming season and explained how the professional basketball organizations set an example that college basketball can follow to successfully operate during the coronavirus pandemic.

“Here at Kentucky we’re truly in a bubble. The lodge where the kids stay and the practice facility, which is our own and the weight training, training room, the cook and everything — we’re in a bubble. The thing that’s happened for all of us in basketball is the NBA and the WNBA have shown a path for us to have a season,” said Calipari.
