In winter of career, Kentucky's John Calipari advocates for summer basketball

The 63-year-old Kentucky coach has no plans to walk away soon. He's too busy running toward big ideas.

“We’ve got to take care of the sport,” Calipari said. “Before I’m done, I hope there’s things we’ve done that people can look back on and say, ‘Wow, that was big at the time.’ And I think summer basketball is one of those.”

Wow - those guys not only were the fall guys from the beginning. Now they are completely changing the definition of a booster after they have gone to prison? Deplorable. I hope they are able to get some sort of retribution - their lives were turned upside down.

I read Merl Code's book and he was completely railroaded to begin with - this just makes it worse.

Bellarmine beat Louisville last night, 67-66.

I guess Louisville’s exhibition loss to a nobody wasn’t a fluke.

Coincidentally, I just watched this on HBO. Shame on the FBI for this shitshow & waste of taxpayer funds.

Criticism continues to mount on John Calipari after Kentucky's offense regresses in big spot against UCLA

The Wildcats have the pieces to be a very good team, but will Calipari figure out how to get Kentucky there?

The UK offense right now is bad, and they are not playing against or beating good teams.

Chris Beard is out as the HC of Texas.

ND wouldn't hire George O'Leary because of a fake resume line,

You think they're going to hire a domestic abuser?

My people WANT to care about BB, but we haven't had enough sustained success in a long time. Oats has us trending in the right direction, though, and we're starting to get fired up and involved with the game this year.

Fan ejected for sign urging Calipari, 'Please go to Texas'

LEXINGTON, Ky. (AP) — A spectator was escorted from Rupp Arena during the first half of Kentucky’s loss to South Carolina on Tuesday night after holding up a sign that said “Please go to Texas,” referring to speculation about Wildcats coach John Calipari being a candidate to coach the Longhorns.

It's gotten so bad at Kentucky, even Wildcats fans are urging John Calipari to leave

The heat is ratcheting up on John Calipari after a stunning loss to South Carolina.

sports.yahoo.com

This might be rock bottom for Calipari for his career. Worse than his NBA stint with the New Jersey Nets. From preseason until now, it's been bad. And for the last three weeks they're probably not even in the top 200 teams in America.

20 point home favorites to a South Carolina team that was pasted by 40+ against Tennessee.

I don't think they'll give him the boot, but he has been trending in the wrong direction for a few years. Not sure what the reason is.

He has another top recruiting class lined up to come in this fall. They give him the boot, they're not getting that.

2019–20	Kentucky	25–6	15–3	1st	NCAA Division I Canceled****
2020–21	Kentucky	9–16	8–9	8th
2021–22	Kentucky	26–8	14–4	T–2nd	NCAA Division I Round of 64
2022–23	Kentucky	10–6	1–3

Hard to really judge what is going on here, but this year on the back of a first round loss to a fifteen seed is not a good look regardless of the reasons.

 

[Bishop2b5]

For the first time in 20 years and only the 2nd time ever that I know of, my guys are the #1 team in the country in both polls. Nate Oats is a god in Tuscaloosa right now. Still a lot of basketball to play, but my boys are looking as good as I've ever seen them and it's nice to finally have something to cheer about in basketball.

Darius Miles asked Brandon Miller to bring gun used to kill Jamea Jonae Harris, police testify

Miller, an Alabama basketball player, was not charged. Tuscaloosa chief deputy D.A. Paula Whitley said, “There’s nothing we could charge him with."

Pathetic response.

oh hey! also a cofc alum. weird.

cougs have had an amazing year but that Drexel loss HURT. I don't see us getting an at-large bid but I definitely think we deserve one. CAA tournament is going to be a blood bath

I suspect you are correct.

Mountain West should be fun too. Lots of good home teams in there.

I dated a CoC Coug for a year when I lived in Goose Creek. Campus left a little to be desired. Teams weren’t that good. But that’s cool

Me and you are just not compatible😂. I love the campus. It’s amazing. Like stepping back in time.

Xavier alum here. I've been really impressed by Pat Kelsey so far in his coaching career. We got Miller back (thank you sweet baby Jesus) and probably aren't looking for another coach for a while, but I'd love to give Kelsey a look down the road if X changes coaches as he's an X alum. Good luck to y'all in the tournament.
