Wanting to play a smaller number may surprise some people, but normal for Calipari
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — John Calipari isn't wasting any time telling folks just how different things are going to be now that he's running the Arkansas Razorbacks' program. Fans don't even have to make any guesses as to what he wants to do.
Some of the self-appointed experts among the Hogs Lunatic Fringe will over-react to that. Don't worry, there will be more players on the bench than that. It's how many he wants to rotate in games. Even with all the delays that feature media timeouts long enough at times to take a nap, some of these kids need more time to recover these days.
He would rather have a bunch of people around that are even older and back on campus as graduate assistants or some other role. They could be invaluable in practice, which is something women's coach Mike Neighbors and other coaches in the women's game have done for years. You can't improve much in practice in any sport against inferior players and expect to have a lot of success in games.
"I still want to do events that I put together in the past where four teams are coming together," Calipari said, "and it probably take me a year to do that. I want to have an MTE on campus, and I want some neutral site games."
