Vanderbilt hired Brad Calipari, the son of Kentucky coach John Calipari, as the program's director of on-court player development on Monday.

"He is knowledgeable, high energy, and a strong communicator. We are very excited about his ability to add value with our student-athletes and within our coaching staff," said Vanderbilt coach Jerry Stackhouse.

Calipari spent last season as the director of player development under Rod Strickland at Long Island University.
