That's a clever phrase he uses, and accurate in the fact that their offense is completely free flowing and predicated on spacing. But that is where the comparisons end.
Their whole goal is to drive to the basket for a lay-up or kick out to a shooter. It is clear-out after clear-out. They want as many shots as possible. I just saw Calipari at a coaching clinic and he joked about how his team had missed something like 150 lay-ups in practice the day before, but he was happy because they took 500.
This is a much different offense from anywhere else, except Pepperdine, whose coach came up with it, while coaching at a JUCO in California.

I was going to say it was like Princeton with felonies, but that's a good word too.

Of course, Calipari also said no one on his UMASS squad was taking expensive jewelry,so who'd believe a word that comes out of his mouth?

I preferred the line in the article that said colleges in the south are basically like pro teams...
One of those unintentionally funny lines.
