Coach Calipari joined Tom Leech, Kentucky’s play-by-play radio announcer, on Monday’s episode of The Paul Miller Ford John Calipari Show. Calipari addressed an emphasis on rebounding going forward, Hamidou Diallo’s growth and PJ Washington’s ability to play on the perimeter.
Rebounding was a major topic during the show. Calipari said he’s having ‘reduced rims’ put in the gym for scrimmages during practice. This will lead to more missed shots, allowing Coach Calipari to stress the importance of offensive and defensive rebounding. When asked if Wenyen Gabriel is the best rebounder on the team, Calipari called him the most active rebounder.
