Kentucky's TV station, WKYT has interviewed University of Kentucky NCAA championship winning coach John Calipari who will once again lead the Dominican Republic basketball team in its quest to play in the London Olympics.

Coach Cal will spend time with the Dominican Republic team this summer, trying to qualify for the Olympics for the first time. He says he has learned from the Dominican players. Cal is also a possible coach for the United States basketball team for the 2016 Olympics.

"They play different," Calipari said. "They play more of a spread game like we play. So I got new ways of getting into things we do... a lot of pick'n'roll stuff I'd never seen before. They play defense differently."

Calipari is coaching the Dominican Republic team for the World Olympic Qualifying Tournament for Men, set for 2n8 July 2012, Venezuela.
