Calapari and James are not the big buddies everybody thinks. It pays both of them to be casually attached. World Wide Wes and James are thicker than thieves and Calipari rides their coat tails for recruits. UK is also wearing Lebron's shoes, which means UK makes him a healthy check. When World Wide Wes gets a fish on the line for a team he wines and dines them by getting players like Lebron on the phone and let's them talk for a minute. 18 year old kids eat that stuff up and it works.
Calapari has alot of Eddie Haskell in him, he is a smoove operator and always has been. If I was you I wouldn't believe a word that comes from his mouth. And before you say it, I don't think Pitino is much better.

Fact is, dont count on any coach being with there program until the next season starts, especially the sucessful ones. Im sure they get tempted with offers all the time and we dont even hear about most of them. The ones we do hear about most of the time are from "sources close to" who dont want any one to know who they are,. And any publicty is good publicity for caoches, cause it keeps there name out there, and good for there programs for the same reason. Is it me or have a lot of the high profile caoches become a lot lie politicians?

Also heard a tape of Calapari the other day, where he said..
''I don't like horse racing and I don't like Bourbon either''
Run him off Cat fans, you can't have a coach of The Wildkittens saying that kinda stuff, lol.

ESPN has the same report. No quwstion I am a die hard UT fan, but after going thru what Kiffen did to the football program, I hope Cal stays. I dont want any program to have to go thru that crap. I hope Cal will be a man and do what he has said, stay at UK.

MONEY and EGO, take your pick because either of them will make the best NCAA coaches try the NBA and both of them together FORGET ABOUT IT!!!
How many College Coaches does it take to make the jump to the NBA and Fail miserably before they will understand that there are "College Coaches" and "NBA Coaches" and it takes different talents to succeed in both. My bet is Phil Jackson would stink as a College Coach but one of the best ever NBA coaches. Talent is what it really takes in the NBA to win and coaching is secondary. When was the last time the NBA title went to the team with the second, third or forth best talent in the league and how many times has it happened? Bulls - Jordan and Pippen, Spurs - Duncan and David Robinson, Heat - Wade and Shaq, Lakers - Kobe and Shaq, Boston - Garnett, Pierce, Allen
Maybe the Pistons in 2003 did not have the best talent but that is questionable
Talent wins in the NBA over coaching, Talent and coaching wins in the NCAA
