Mike DeCourcy has an article where he talked with Kentucky coach Billy Gillispie and brought up a subject many have been wanting to know.

“Style of play”….which is said to have touched a nerve, but we did learn a little.

On offense, Gillispie wants his teams to average one shot or more per possession. That means taking care of the basketball and gathering offensive rebounds.

On defense, he wants to limit opponents to one shot or none on each possession. That requires picking up steals, forcing errors and grabbing every available rebound.

Sometimes, based on your personnel, that’s going to be a little faster,” Gillispie says. “Sometimes it’s going to be a little bit slower.”
