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,…

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.
