I was thinking for 11 months, but yes, that is like reporting water is wet.

Does the resigning of Mitch Kupchak mean anything?

It makes me inclined to say Cal isn't going to the Lakers. I would think Coach Cal wants to go to a place where he could get total control.

Why? He thinks he's going to be a great GM? I would think he would only want to go somewhere that is serious about competing for titles. I don't think the Lakers can compete with Kobe's contract, but the Lakers are for sure serious about competing for titles.

I guess if the majority of the freshmen decide to leave it will give us some indication that maybe Cal is letting them know he isn't going to be here. If players like Dakari and Marcus decide to go I think that puts the writing on the wall. I don't think Cal will announce anything until the Lakers season is over.

You think he's getting control of the Lakers? Phil Jackson didn't even get that. Come on...

Phil was sleeping with his boss- he had all the control he needed.

I think Calipari has the leverage and would want a job where he would have significant control over player personnel. It isn't like the NBA is going to trounce UK on dollars, so I would think that control would be significant.

Jeanie has about zero say in what goes on.

If he wants that he'll never get a job offer IMO.

She likely has some say.

I think he'll get it if he was openly courting the NBA. Some team would offer AT LEAST significant say in player personnel decisions to secure him.
