There was another “only at Kentucky” moment on Saturday.John Calipari took to Twitter to wish a happy birthday to his daughter Megan. The sentiment was nice, but there was a problem.He was a day early.Megan quickly replied to tell him of the error. And since Coach Cal has 1.3 million followers, the story was quickly picked up by national outlets, all the way up to “Good Morning America.””Why does that go all over the world, by the way?” Calipari said, who made light of the mishap by bringing a birthday balloon to his press conference after UK’s dominant 86-28 win over Montana State.Calipari’s question was a rhetorical one, mostly because he already knows the answer.The reason the story blew up the way it did is because of Coach Cal’s position at the helm of the most high-profile college basketball program in the country. It’s the same reason why fans throughout the country are already tiring of the word “platoon” because of how often it’s already been used.The spotlight, of course, has its perks for Coach Cal and players alike. UK is, as Calipari so often says, the “gold standard” for a reason, but there are drawbacks too.After the victory over Montana State, in which UK set a shot clock-era record for the fewest points allowed in school history, he coined a new phrase to describe it, adding to his personal pantheon that runs the gamut from ice cream-pooping to Super Bowl-playing to brother-keeping.”What these kids deal with to be here, to play here, to be a part of this program, they wear a hundred-pound coat,” Calipari said.The burden, Calipari admits, starts with him.”I am rough on them, I am tough on them, I’m holding them to high standard,” Calipari said. “I’m like a hawk. I see everything. I’m coaching them the entire time. They’re getting better. It is not an option, you will get better. That’s me.”Then you have Kentucky fans, who surely would have made concerned calls to radio shows on Monday had the final margin been much less than the 58-point one they enjoyed on Sunday evening, largest since a 62-point win over Vanderbilt in 2002-03.”That’s another 20 pounds of the coat,” Calipari said.To top it off, there’s the media scrutiny that’s led to a national debate about whether this UK team could beat the NBA’s Philadelphia 76ers, not to mention the people surrounding the players who create the “clutter” about which Calipari so often talks.Contrast that with UK’s opponents, whom Calipari says are burden-free next to the Cats.”The people coming in to play us got windbreakers,” Calipari said. “They’re loose as a goose. They’re just going to go play.”Karl-Anthony Towns, just five games into his UK career, has already noticed.”Man, windbreakers?” said Towns, who tallied six of UK’s 12 blocks to bring his season total to 18. “I don’t even think they’re wearing anything. They’re going to the beach.”Dakari Johnson, who nearly had another double-double with 13 points and eight rebounds in just 17 minutes, is in his second year wearing that heavy coat. He knows there’s no taking it off either.”We’re always going to feel that type of pressure because of the expectations and stuff like that,” Johnson said. “But I feel like we’re a close unit so there’s not much pressure to get to us because we’re so close together.”That closeness means the Cats can share the burden rather than carry it individually.”Anytime I need any advice, anytime I need to talk to somebody, it’s as easy as calling Willie Cauley-Stein, Dakari Johnson, Aaron Harrison, Andrew,” Towns said. “I have so many numbers and so much support on my side that this whole being a UK Wildcat basketball player, the pressure really hasn’t gotten to me. I’ve just been having a lot of fun.”With five wins by an average margin of 34.6 points — the last coming in a game where the Cats held their opponents to 19.7-percent shooting, forced 21 turnovers and had one stretch of 12:37 in which they didn’t allow a single point — it’s no surprise Towns has been enjoying himself so much. Besides, he and his teammates did at least have an idea what they were getting into when they signed to play at UK. It’s not like Coach Cal hides the 100-pound coats in the closet during the recruiting process.”You know, Big Blue Nation is crazy,” said Devin Booker, who had his second straight big game with 18 points. “But, you just play through it, it’s something you learn. You know, it’s a good problem to have. You want to be on this stage, so that’s why you come here.”That’s lucky, because that coat’s not getting any lighter. “If you’re not willing to wear the hundred-pound coat, you don’t come here, you can’t come here, because it’s not changing,” Calipari said.
