Calipari uses threat of treadmill to keep Cats in line

For Kentucky Coach John Calipari, it's my way or a 3-foot-wide strip of endless highway.

"We've got a treadmill," Calipari said Friday of a new way he's trying to motivate the Cats to play more efficient basketball. "Heavy duty. Best treadmill made.

"If a guy doesn't go hard, he goes 16 mph for 30 seconds. Or you can be George Jetson. One of the two. You're either going to run or you're going to be flipping under it."

The 16 mph is the equivalent of a near-world record 3:45 pace for a mile.

Or as Josh Harrellson put it: "That thing is a monster."
