John Calipari Would Prefer Players Get Credited With Points They Didn't Earn
FanIQ Blog —
I was pleasantly surprised with the tune of John Calipari's post game interview with the lovely Sam Ryan.

Meet John Calipari, who is the current head coach of the University of Kentucky men’s basketball team. Calipari is currently said to be the best college basketball coach in the country and he has just moved from Memphis to Kentucky. See photos, video and a biography of John Calipari here. Calipari started seriously considering a move to the University of Kentucky, after they offered him the position just a week back.

He was introduced as the Wildcats’ new head coach on Wednesday and he said that he ...
