New Basketball Season at UK

Not since 1996 has there been so much hype and hoopla over an upcoming UK season. I can barely remember last season's dreadful conclusion with a loss in the NIT's third round to Notre Dame. Who was that coach for the Cats? Who cares now that University of Kentucky President Lee Todd approved the hiring of the much maligned but very successful Coach Calipari on the last day of March. Now all I can think about is the possibilities that Coach Cal brings to our once proud basketball team that has been inconsequential in the national picture for way too long. Gone are the days of the passing the ball around the perimeter hoping to get the ball inside to such big man as Randolph Morris and Patrick Patterson. We get the dribble drive offense that breaks down defenses by putting all the pressure on the defense instead of the defense putting pressure on the offense. On April 1, 2009 moans were heard all across the nation from such basketball havens as Dean Dome, Cameron Indoor, Thompson-Boling Arena, Allen Fieldhouse, and Pauley Pavilion. It was no April Fools joke the winningest college basketball program of all-time had hired the hottest coach in the nation giving the rest of the NCAA warning that the mighty Cats are back and ready to take its spot back on top of college basketball quicker then anyone would have ever dreamed!
