August 12, 201511 yr I saw this on KSR. Who did Cal do this too? Does anyone know? I love this story. Cal is a G. :lol2: :lol2: Gary Parrish just told the most John Calipari story ever | Kentucky Sports Radio
August 12, 201511 yr Just read that, too. Talk about a power move. Certainly not going to make many friends that way but it gets the point across.
August 12, 201511 yr Yeah Parrish told that same story like 5 years ago Except the Cronin/Teague story was with some merit as Cal and Wes got Jeff Teague a big time Nike deal when he was nothing more than a bench warmer in Atlanta in exchange for Mook. Cal never confronted Mick in person because he knew the deal... :thumb:

Cal never confronted Mick in person because he knew the deal... :thumb: So the alleged confrontation isn't true or it happened with someone else? Why would Teague leave Nike for Adidas after that?

August 12, 201511 yr So the alleged confrontation isn't true or it happened with someone else? Why would Teague leave Nike for Adidas after that? The stuff with Mick/Cal/Teague was a couple years before what Parish is talking about. I know both sides of that story very well, but not positive what GP was talking about this time. I have a few ideas, but not sure which one it might be...
August 12, 201511 yr What was he wearing before? Those Nikes have turned him into a pretty good ball player. Jeff got a small Nike deal out of Wake. He got an extension in between his 2nd and 3rd year I think it was, and at the time he was getting very limited bench run. I heard enough from both sides (I can include UL in there as well) to know how things were shifted behind the scenes on Mook...
August 12, 201511 yr Author The stuff with Mick/Cal/Teague was a couple years before what Parish is talking about. I know both sides of that story very well, but not positive what GP was talking about this time. I have a few ideas, but not sure which one it might be... Some folks mentioned Bruce Weber and Anthony Davis. Is that possible?
August 12, 201511 yr Some folks mentioned Bruce Weber and Anthony Davis. Is that possible? No because Davis didn't hit the scene until his final AAU spring and summer. Thinking either Booker or Ulis, but that's just a guess...
August 12, 201511 yr Author No because Davis didn't hit the scene until his final AAU spring and summer. Thinking either Booker or Ulis, but that's just a guess... This story fascinates me because of the use of the words "prominent coach". Makes me think it is a very recognizable name but not someone like Coach K, Izzo, Pitino, Ole Roy, Self and maybe a few others. At the same time I am on a mission to find out who it is so I can see who went out like a punk. :lol2:
August 12, 201511 yr I'm guessing it was Izzo concerning Tyler Ulis. I just don't see Izzo calling Cal a cheater like this coach did.
August 12, 201511 yr Author I just don't see Izzo calling Cal a cheater like this coach did. I dunno, LRCW. I think I could see every coach in the game talking crazy about one another.
