Calipari never was a Pitino assistant, like Billy Donovan and Tubby Smith were. Pitino got to know Calipari at Nike summer basketball camps and was impressed. When UMass asked their alum Pitino for a head coach recommendation, Pitino suggested Calipari.
@collegefootballfan44: UK has had the best recruiting class for the past 3 seasons, including this one. So that includes 2010, I don't know where you get your news from, but you're wrong.
i would love to meet michael wilbon so i could punch him in the face, he once quoted " i hope kentucky basketball never wins another basketball game" he then said because uk fired tubby, and then he goes on to say tubby lead us to a couple of final fours, which was very incorrect. i think he is a terrible, terrible journalist
When Kobe Bryant made a "mistake" and apologized, he was skewered by the media.
Also, in Bryant's case the alleged victim was believed right from the start. He was never given the benefit of doubt and is still vilified by some people today.
I realize people will make mistakes and fall short, but I despise hypocrisy particularly when it is based solely one's race.
Pitino did great things at Kentucky and he'll always have my respect for that.....but givin a choice between Pitino, Donavan and Calipari?? Coach Calipari by a mile! Goes to show that given a little time sometimes things fall into place!
@willlliw He said that in a earlier episode. I know this is a joke. That's bad journalism if you're a anaylst on ESPN hoping a team never wins another game.
these guys are so full of shit the dumbest two guys on espn everything they say and everything they cover is so wrong on everything they probably believed that pitino was coming back to uk but he never said that and uk never contacted him it was donavan and then cal but we hit a home run on this deal I wanted coah cal 2 years ago instead of billy g but we got cal now and its going to be a sweet ride back to the top
Great joke and these guys can act. The emmy goes to PTI. But honestly, I'd rather have Calipari facing Pitino. The hsitory dates back and you can look it up. Its amazing and will outdo every collegiate rivalry including the Red River and the Dukees and the Heels. Cards and Cats are gonna be fun to watch.
Haha very funny. Don't think I want Pitino back. He could've came back years ago. "hi, i want a divorce and I'm in love with your sister". Stay in Lville.
as a memphis fan... i remember watching this and getting extremely pissed off when i found out it wasnt real

So, what is the Calipari Curse?
Missed free throws.
When the game is on the line, when the heat is turned up, you can count on any team Calipari is coaching to miss free throws.
Beware the missed free throws...
