Coach Calipari spoke to the public today after not being able to attend Patrick Patterson's press conference on Monday. He repeated of how proud he was to have Patrick back and what he could do for He stated many things about the state of the program, and things he'd like to improve on. Most importantly, he proposed the idea of having BBM (Big Blue Madness)at Commonwealth Stadium in October, which would be a first. He liked the idea of having 70,000 plus people showing up at what would be a record for a basketball practice. He also liked the idea of having some neutral site games with other schools in cities such as Cincinnati, Louisville, adn Houston and splitting the tickets 50/50 so it would be reminiscent of a NCAA tournament game. He said talks are underway with having a home-and-home neutral series and also to renew the seires with Notre Dame. He said that no incoming recruits would face any problems with eligibility. The only situation he did not have concern for was the scholarship situation, since UK is one or two over. He said it would play out over the course of the summer and would still like to fit one more player in there before the season starts.
