Calipari takes gonnabee pro players and gets them to play TEAM basketball. That’s coaching! Any coach at a school with the basketball credentials of a Kansas. Syracuse or any big time basketball program can recruit top high school players, but to get them to buy into the TEAM in this era of ‘me, me, me” is great coaching. Not only that, just in case you haven’t noticed these young men are gentlemen and respect not only their coach, but the school programs they play. No Red, you don’t know what good coaching is all about. By the way, look at the progress of many of the players Calipari has coached. That is coaching at it’s best. You obviously don’t understand what it takes to be a great coach in any sport.

Thanks, actually we knew that Collins was coming off the bench (see the 3.2 yrs of experience in the table), but somehow made an error on the breakdown in the writeup.

Sherron Collins, my guess for your second sophomore, came off the bench that year.
