UK coach John Calipari is an absolute master at clever recruiting techniques. But this is one he can't claim. And it's not even a technique. But it does involve a basketball legend.
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...
Some people like John Calipari. Some people don't like John Calipari. And those that don't either don't like him because he's John Calipari or because he's the UK coach. It's no secret "polarizing" has been an adjective used to describe him from time to time.

When Skal Labissiere declared for the NBA draft and said he was hiring an agent, I blogged about it because I thought, unlike Jamal Murray who'd declared a few days earlier, that he wasn't ready.
