C'mon man...he took a bunch of McDonald's All Americans, taught them how to play together, selflessly, with limited minutes...wire to wire regular season AP #1...SEC regular season and tourney champs...went 38-0 with them before losing in the National Semi-Finals to a Wisconsin team that was **** good. Final Four in 4 out of the last 5 seasons. May put 5 kids in the NBA Draft this year.

As for the X's and O's lapse during the Wisconsin game when he should have called a timeout...even Michael Jordan missed a jump shot now and then...didn't mean he wasn't all-world at the game of basketball. Calipari deserved Coach of the Year. There were others deserving, but there can only be one.
