Last time Cal was on the recruiting trip he was watching some hotel porn, which reminded him of the Divinyls "I Tough Myself".

Cal mentioned that he was recently painting a wall black and it reminded him of the song "Painted Black"

Cal mentioned that one time some posters from Arizona accused him of paying recruits and that reminded him of the song "Prove It."

If I read the article correctly on another website, the point was that Cal was just on Francesca's show, in person, earlier and none of that came up. Then once the interview was over, Francesca started in with those comments. Cal wanted to know why he did not bring that up in person. I love that Cal called right back and confronted him (in a jokingly way).

I understand the whole "everyone cheats" mantra, but this guy doesn't even try to hide it. I mean he literally openly pays players via WW Wes and has F U, try to stop me attitude about him. He already has 2 final fours vacated for blatant cheating.

I'll say it: "Calipari" is, I believe, a Sicilian dialect-based composite that means "beautiful pairs", essentially expressing the virtues of equality. It's unrelated squid.

If it's true that everyone cheats, why not like an honest cheat? A real, classic rogue.

University of Kentucky coach John Calipari is finalizing plans for an unprecedented two-day campus scouting combine for NBA executives to evaluate his star-laden roster of professional prospects, league sources told Yahoo Sports.

Calipari has invited officials of the 30 NBA teams to send personnel to Lexington, Ky., on Oct. 11-12 to watch his players do everything from run full-court five-on-five and NBA-style pick-and-roll sets to individual skill work.

The event is a chance for Calipari to impress a throng of top high school recruits on campus visits and once again frame his program as college basketball's best NBA feeder system. Kentucky is expected to be a consensus preseason No. 1 in the polls.

It's good to be king. On their Bahamas trip:

UK's own team expenses were eye-opening, too, from coach John Calipari's $1,550-per night Atlantis hotel suite to a $23,855.50 reception dinner that included a band and an open bar.

The total cost of the trip was $792,845.68. By comparison, an expense report acquired in an open records request showed that North Carolina's Bahamas trip last summer cost $154,825.91. Portland State, meanwhile, paid a total of $37,714 for its seven-night stay.

UK paid for 18 rooms for the Dominican Republic national team for six nights, 14 rooms for the Puerto Rican national reserves for six nights and 14 rooms for Champagne Chalons-Reims Basket for seven nights—each at $225 per room, per night. It also spent a total of $72,750 on airfare for the three teams, and $100 per day for their individual meal plans, totaling $36,000.

Holy shit!

John Calipari says his Kentucky Wildcats' loss to the Wisconsin Badgers in this year's national semifinals -- or at least part of it -- was due to his decision to leave slumping guards Andrew Harrison and Aaron Harrison on the floor.

Speaking with nearly six months of hindsight, Calipari said Sunday during a basketball coaches clinic in Los Angeles that inserting Devin Booker and Tyler Ulis in place of the Harrison twins could have helped Kentucky overcome Wisconsin and given them a shot to beat eventual champion Duke and complete a 40-0 season.

Instead, Wisconsin won 71-64, with the Harrisons missing seven of their last eight shots combined.

"Now you may say, 'Why didn't you have Tyler and Devin in at the end of the Wisconsin game? You probably would have won,'" Calipari said, according to USA Today Sports. "Because I was being loyal to those other two who led us to a championship game a year ago and they deserve to be on that court. That's why I did it. I knew who was playing well and who was struggling. You think I wasn't sitting there watching?

"But I owed it to those two (the Harrison twins) to do it."

Kentucky's last, best chance came when it trailed by three with 12 seconds left.

But Karl-Anthony Towns, who went on to be the No. 1 overall pick in this year's NBA draft, received the ball in the post and got fouled. He made only one free throw, and from there, Wisconsin iced it from the line.

Andrew Harrison was drafted in the second round by the Phoenix Suns and traded to the Memphis Grizzlies. Aaron went undrafted but signed with the Charlotte Hornets as a free agent.

Calipari sought to clarify his remarks later Monday via Twitter.

Why even talk about this? So classy

Chicat · Post by **Chicat** » Tue Sep 29, 2015 6:02 pm

He's trying to make a point about how loyal he is to players . . . by telling the world they stink.
