May 4, 201016 yr With Vinnie D getting fired, the near consenus on Around the Horn was that John Calipari should be and would be the next Bulls coach. Making him a one and done also. Said lure of coaching Rose and possible high level free agents would be enough to get him back in the NBA. How do you guys and gals think this will play out? :popcorn:
May 4, 201016 yr Just like Pitino, he's been there and done that. Money is not much of a factor when he's raking the dough at UK. Plus, he is basically getting all the high profile players he wants with the Wildcats. IMO, he stays.
May 4, 201016 yr Plus, "Around the Horn" panelist aren't really "sources" or anything like that so I don't know how much I'd put into the whole thing. Although I did read that the Bulls may have Cal on their list.
May 4, 201016 yr :banana:Cal put this to rest early. He said he was not interested. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nba/news/story?id=5159051 Reported by Andy Katz...
May 4, 201016 yr Just posted on facebook: John Calipari Throughout my career I've been mentioned for other jobs. Now that I'm here u won't hear about other colleges because I've got the best job. Every year you will hear my named mentioned for NBA jobs because I coached in the league before. I'm very happy at Kentucky. Go Big Blue!
May 4, 201016 yr Do we have to hear this every time an NBA job opens up... Ha, yep, get out the lawn chairs and sit back, just like with recruiting, who knows.
May 4, 201016 yr :banana:Cal put this to rest early. He said he was not interested. http://sports.espn.go.com/chicago/nba/news/story?id=5159051 Reported by Andy Katz... I don't think he's going, but HIM saying it doesn't mean anything IMO. Coaches usually say they're happy and not planning on leaving. Right until they've signed the new contract anyway.
May 4, 201016 yr These are interesting: KySportsRadio I will expand a bit more on relationship stuff later on site. And yes I saw Cal's tweet. Said he loves UK, never said he had no NBA interest KySportsRadio One part of Yahoo article I know is true is poor relationship with Athletic department. Been a real issue behind the scenes all year KySportsRadio So Cal tells Andy Katz he isn't interested in Bulls job while Yahoo says he has expressed interest. So like with T Jones, who knows
May 4, 201016 yr So has Cal had an issue with the Athletics department? Is there really stuff going on behind the scenes that should worry UK that Cal may leave? Is Barnhardt taking advantage of Cal and everything he has brought to UK?
May 4, 201016 yr Could be the reason that Knight didn't sign the LOI. :sssh: Now that this has came about, it does seem to make sense.
