About This Play/Drill

John Calipari has had 26 of his Kentucky players drafted in the NBA during his tenure in the Blue Grass State.  In 2012 his Wildcats won the NCAA Championship.  Last season, the Wildcats finished the season undefeated, but lost in the NCAA Finals to finish the year 38-1 with a perfect 18-0 record in the SEC.
   

Calipari has been a Dribble Drive Motion guru at Kentucky and has tinkered with the system to fit his skilled players.  In the last years, the Wildcats have incorporated some different looks to the system, but still like the drive and kick action of the DDM.
   

This is a Diamond set which when executed through can provide many different scoring options.
