People who defend overpaying incompetent coaches from taxpayer funds belong in the Hall of Shame. Like Jet said, Calipari would have already been the former UK basketball coach had he not been signed to a lifetime contract for an obscenely high salary. Cal was a mediocre NBA coach, at best, and two colleges who employed him have had NCAA Final Four appearances vacated as soon as he departed. Calipari has always been more of a shady manager than a basketball coach. And nobody is blaming UK's players for Calipari's failure to earn his keep.

They don't induct shady managers into the CBB HOF.

The evidence says that you are wrong. First of all, John Calipari is not in the National Collegiate Basketball Hall of Fame. Secondly, Calipari is in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame, along with the very shady Jerry Tarkanian and Rick Pitino.

Only one other college basketball coach has ever had two Final Four/Championship tournament finishes vacated. The difference between Rick Pitino and John Calipari is that Pitino is one of the greatest college basketball coaches in history and Calipari is not.

I wouldn't trade Rick Pitino for 10 Caliparis. And if I traded Calipari to you for Tubby Smith that's one of the very few deals in history where we would both get f@cked. No wait I would win because I would get the same results and save millions.

You're starting to look even worse. lol   Tubby Smith , another National Championship coach, who completely outcoached Duke's HOF'er in that 17 pt. comeback on the way to title #7 . Hell of a man, too.  Not surprised you love you some Rick. He's the Matt Gaetz of College ball lol   I liked him as a coached, liked his style of play, but wouldn't trust him around a young daughter if I had one.

Liberal Mind Virus sh!t from you again as always. Who could interject Matt Gaetz into a UK sports thread but a deranged liberal sicko?
