Calipari shines while Barnhart blunders at introduction
Calipari shines while Barnhart blunders at introduction In his effort to “win the press conference,” Kentucky athletic director Mitch Barnhart opened with a sweet score: He pronounced the last name of his new head basketball coach correctly. It’s John Cal-a-PEAR-ee, not Cal-a-PAR-ee. So many people get that wrong, but not Mitch. And good for him,…

Calipari, Kentucky form scary union So now here comes Cal, not from some school off the beaten path where he needs to kick down doors and do the impossible, but right there from the mountaintop in Lexington, right there from the inner circle.

Papelbon born for 9th-inning stage
Papelbon born for 9th-inning stage Mississippi State always had it right with Jonathan Papelbon [stats]. When the big kid showed up as a freshman in Starkville, he was given a road map to the bullpen and was told he would be a closer. And so he was. And he was a good one. One of…

Let’s come clean about ‘dirty coaches’….Is NCAA the problem?
Let’s come clean about ‘dirty coaches’….Is NCAA the problem? Let me clarify my position on Connecticut basketball coach Jim Calhoun and his alleged illegal recruiting tactics by discussing Kentucky’s flirtation with Memphis’ John Calipari.

John Calipari is what Kentucky fans want
John Calipari is what Kentucky fans want LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari is a give-the-people-what-they-want hire. Sure, he brings risk. He also promises reward.

We learned a little more about John Calipari
We learned a little more about John Calipari They assembled outside John Calipari’s big house on Galloway, the TV trucks and the gawkers and the collection of never-say-die fans. “S-T-A-Y,” they chanted.

Calipari will get Kentucky back on top
Calipari will get Kentucky back on top It is about a six-hour drive from Memphis to Lexington. John Calipari will never find that out because he most certainly will make the trip by private jet.
