If you scan the roster for the Kentucky Wildcats basketball team, you see the familiar last name of Calipari on the roster. John Calipari's son, Brad. is a guard on the 2016-17 roster and for Wildcat fans, seeing the coach's son on the team is not an unusual thing.

Brad will be the fourth son to play for his father as a Kentucky Wildcat since Adolph Rupp put on his brown coat. It's been an interesting trend in that every other Wildcat coach has coached one of his sons in the blue and white.

Adolph Rupp coached Herky Rupp. Joe B Hall did coach a son, but Sean Sutton played for his father, Eddie. Rick Pitino did not duplicate the trend, but Tubby Smith had Saul. There was no Billie Gillispie spawn on the floor, but Calipari is bringing this back with Brad.
