The Chicago Tribune says William Wesley continues to work back channels to sell Calipari and Lebron James as a package deal to the Bulls, Nets and Clippers
Keep drinking the koolaid BBN. Everybody are not haters of UK. I repeat, this coach of yours (?) is the biggest slimeball in CBB.
Memphis fans are right to feel like jilted lovers. But there's no need to preach to UK fans. Pitino jilted us exactly the same way. After two consecutive national championship games, said he was in Camelot and wasn't going anywhere. Two weeks later he was gone.
So been there, done that. We can only hope we don't get burned twice. In the meantime, I'm drinking the Kool-Aid. If you can't enjoy it while it lasts, what's the point?
I am as big a fan of UK basketball as anybody but I know that Calipari has no intentions of retiring from Kentucky basketball. It might not be this year but he will move on at some point. It's his nature and the nature of the game at this level.
I just hope Barnhart knows it and is preparing for that day.
Look, Pitino stayed at UK a good long time and completely turned that program around. Nearly won back-to-back championships. Calipari stayed at Memphis a good long time and completely turned that program around. Made the championship game and probably should have won it in regulation.
True, they said they were staying just before they left, but stop crying that they didn't stay for life.
What would be remarkable - and he has no history of this - is if Calipari decided to leave the best job he's ever had after only a year. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am? I don't think so.
Try thinking like a career counselor. Calipari has said from the beginning that he's not going to be coaching into his 60s. He knows he's rounding the turn and heading for home. He believes he has 9 or 10 years left, and he has to decide how best to spend them.
At this stage in his life, he should prefer stability and success over uncertainty and a much greater workload. He should prefer spending more time at home with his family. He and his wife both say they don't need more money. So it's a quality of life issue.
Cat wait to see the new horses Calipari will have running next year!! I watched some film on Vargas, looks like hes just what we needed...more of a finesse player-very tall and long wingspan.

Somebody is lying here. Either it's the Chicago media or Calipari.
Here's hoping it's the former.
Here we go again...
"Memphis is where I want to be"
"I will coach at Kentucky next year."

Seems like a no-brainer.
