In what is quickly becoming a favorite tradition in the Bluegrass, it’s time for another installment of “An opposing coach gives the scouting report” where – surprise, surprise – I call up a coach who has faced Kentucky’s next opponent and say “Hey man, would you mind giving me the scouting report you used against fill-in-the-blank team.” In exchange for complete anonymity, they usually oblige.
The scouting reports have become a fan favorite in recent years (or at least in my head they have), as Kentucky is now 7-0 in games in which I provide the reports. Most recently, I discussed how to beat Texas Tech, and before that was a scout against Arkansas and Georgia (although really, the Georgia scout should have just been “Let Tom Crean do his thing”).
