Not all press on the Kentucky basketball team has been positive as of late. No, we won't go into the whole "fans threatened a referee" story, but Calipari has also been dragged by the press for his lack of championships at UK, just one in 2012, despite recruiting the top talent in the country. A look at the man and the method to his madness, the ESPN 30 for 30 documentary One and Not Don

John Calipari hates post-season conference tournaments. HATES! Like the way I hate licorice or the word "fisticuffs." (Geez, I even hate typing it). Yeah, no love lost between the two. So here's his idea...

Kentucky already has, arguably, the top recruiting class of 2016 with McDonald's All-Americans Bam Adebayo, De’Aaron Fox, Sacha Killeya-Jones and Malik Monk, plus 5-star small forward Wenyen Gabriel.

Holly Canter (nee' Mills) and her husband Cory lucked out and got seats right behind the Pelicans' bench. What they didn't re

In the wake of a scandalous publication in which author Katina Powell details her provision of professional escorts to Louisville Cardinal basketball recruits, Cards coach Rick Pitino has what some would call an unlikely ally.

There was a coaches' clinic in Los Angeles this weekend. John Calipari was in attendance and the subject of Kentucky's season-ending loss to Wisconsin in the Final Four came up.

Earlier this year, I was listening to a talk show on which UK head coach John Calipari was the guest. What he said about the goal he spelled out for the 'Cats at the beginning of last season seemed to be something that Big Blue Nation could take the wrong way. Maybe.

Maybe the headline says it all. The University of Kentucky Athletic Department just ponied up another $8 million for coach John Calipari's services to extend through, at least, 2022. Meanwhile...
