For the first time in his career at UK, Cal coached a team that lost three games in a row. And in each of those games, there was a stretch when the team was not competitive.
Calipari has coached his butt off, more so than at anytime during his career at Kentucky. He’s stomped his foot, he’s yelled until he was blue in the face, and he’s tried to manage every pass on offense.
Yet, it’s not sinking in with these guys.
It’s February, and Cal is still preaching the same things he was preaching in November: Toughness, attention to detail, and competing for 40 minutes.
