By nature, coaching is a business of copycats.That puts John Calipari on the verge of becoming one of the most mimicked men in his profession.
The "dribble-drive motion" offense he uses is among the hottest things going in hoops these days, and his Memphis Tigers show it to the world for the final time this season in Monday night's championship game against Kansas.
Their opponent, Kansas, is also wide-open, but in a more traditional way, looking to drop the ball into post players - like Darrell Arthur and Darnell Jackson - in traditional strong-side positions, then kick it out for 3-pointers for Brandon Rush and Mario Chalmers if the double teams come.
"The way they run their offense is different than the way we run it, but the philosophy's still the same: Get the ball to the paint," Indeed, Memphis does that differently.
Who will win the NCAA Men's Basketball?
Memphis or Kansas
