Andy Katz of ESPN.com has a great blog post from an interview he had with head coach John Calipari on Tuesday where he discusses a recent phone call with legendary coach John Wooden and Kentucky’s possible No. 1 ranking.

During that phone call, as the post profiles, Wooden told Calipari that he was playing too many players.

“The option is to tell everyone to be ready and if one guy is playing well then accept that,” Calipari said in Katz’s blog post. “In the NCAA tournament, as you know, you really only play seven or eight. But Wooden’s point was to do that now. He’s probably right. I try to make too many people happy.”

Calipari also spoke with Katz on the Cats’ chance to take over the top spot in the polls after Texas lost to Kansas State on Monday night.

“This was an NIT team last year,” Calipari said in the interview with Katz. “Suddenly, these freshmen and this returning group have to play well to win Saturday. And if they do, they’re No. 1. But what does that mean?”

Lots of good stuff from Katz in his blog post worth talking about, but I don’t want to take away from Katz’s work, so please click over and read the full post.
