[Hoot Gibson]

^Calipari is a great recruiter. He does not get any player to the NBA. The players that play for him and then make it in the NBA would probably be better off jumping from high school directly to the NBA and then go to the G-League. Calipari is a great example of a coach who takes credit for the athleticism and talent of players whose development he has made minimal contributions. As Jet and others have pointed out, many players who have struggled under Cal's "coaching" have excelled in other programs. 

In fact, many players who have excelled in their rookie NBA seasons were not impact players at UK. Remember, Devon Booker was not good enough to start over either of the Harrison twins when he played for Calipari and UK blew a possible championship because Tyler Ulis and Booker spent too much time on the bench.
