Calipari has to say this as long as KY is playing. His language is clever. He puts it all on the administration. If he decides to leave, the kissing cousins with giant satellite dish lawn ornaments won’t blame him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaking the rumor, making a twitter announcement like this, talking to UCLA a couple of more times behind the scene, and finally milking UK for more $$$$. Way to go John! I don't mind UK paying $10M/year to this guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would he stay at UK? Seems like Cal just wants to be appreciated. Crossroads time for both. They'd be foolish to expect better results even in their warped sense of the word....but the job is a pressure cooker known by only a few in any sport.

Zlinedavid Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 He'd be a fool not to take it. Only things that would be an improvement in LA would be the weather and the shopping. Mindless kvetching from message boards aside, the man is a minor deity already. Team has a dorm that rivals a 4 Seasons. Whatever he does to get players through academically seems to be covered well enough. And yes, their fans will whine but as long as they're near the top next year, the ones paying the bills won't whine that loudly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUALUM03 Posted April 1, 2019 Report Share Posted April 1, 2019 I am thoroughly surprised that Laker's are not giving him a look for their gig. That is the LA job I could see Calipari jumping ship for. Has a former player on the team in Ingrim and relationship with Bron. Not to mention, Cal's one big strength is dealing with outside noise and ego management, which fits nicely in LA's current needs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just my opinion. Big, big difference between Kentucky and UCLA pressure. Year round, daily discussion vs 4 months. To me UCLA (and LA) for plenty of reasons just don't care the same way we do in this part of the country. Second thing though if he headed to UCLA he would buy himself at least 3-4 years of chilling out time before the pressure increases. At Kentucky....right now today the pressure is building and that won't go away. Every day of each year until he delivers another one. Given what I see on their roster and what's coming in I don't see next year being that title as well. Might be worth a break. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure how realistic either is, but if Cal ends up in LA I think it will be with the Lakers not UCLA. Just one note, Ingram played at Duke.
