The first of two parts containing exclusive video of Coach Calipari and the team preparing for Big Blue Madness

CoachCal.com videographer Shelly Valentine captured and compiled the latest version of Wildcat SMACK.

When I mentioned on Sunday how many free throws and 3-pointers we were missing over the weekend practice sessions, some of you wondered: How do you know that? and Who keeps track of such things?

This video will help to explain that a bit. We keep individual stats on lay-ups, 3-pointers and free throw attempts during every facet of practice. We then tally up the team total and although I won't always share the numbers with the players, it's good for me and the staff to be able gauge our progress over the year.

If our guys want to shoot a lot of 3s during the season, they have to prove to us in practice that they can make them - in this offense it's more than helpful to know who we can rely to hit the outside shot.
