Cal gave Briscoe about as good of a compliment as a coach can give a player.
Isaiah Briscoe, like most freshman, needed to mature during his freshman season. Calipari said freshmen tend to get to college by playing their way and think they can continue that to be successful, but often times that isn’t the case.
“A lot times guys will fight you as they have to develop good habits,” Calipari said. “They want to be sneaky and – you can’t. There’s nothing. These are the habits that you need to have success. I look at what he’s able to do. One, he’s owning his own game. Like, he’s in that gym, he’s working on his shooting, he knows that’s what he’s got to do. I love the fact that he’s competitive in what he does.”
Calipari said Briscoe has transformed himself on the basketball court.
“When you’re first getting started and you’re not hearing what you want to hear: ‘I don’t like him.’ I’m not going to tell you all what you want to hear, but I’m proud of him,” Calipari said. “I’ll tell you what: If I’m in a fox hole, that’s who I want beside me.”
