Cue NCAA sanctions in 4...3...2...1...

He tweets out of both sides of his mouth.

"I want to stay at Kentucky, where the front office is much more willing to spend money on free agents than the Pelicans have shown in the past."

Zags says Cal would have to take a pay cut from $8M a year to $4-5M. So it seems highly unlikely.

He's currently 5/1 odds to become Pelicans coach. Thibs is 1/1 and Gentry is 3/2.

For guys like him it may be more about the challenge than the paycheck #pray.

Ha ha -- so true!

For guys like him, it's been about staying one step ahead of the sanctions lynch mob.

March 24, 2009 - After Saturday’s game, Calipari said he has “no interest” in leaving Memphis for any other job. “We’ve got a good thing going here,” Calipari said. “Truth be told, there are probably better jobs than Memphis,” Calipari said. “But there may not be a better team than the one I’m going to have for the next couple of years. You don’t leave that.”

March 27, 2009 - Calipari, who just completed his ninth season with the Tigers, told a group of reporters at Wilson Air Center today that Memphis is "where I want to coach." "I want to be here," Calipari said today. "This is where I want to coach, and my name will be tied to every job that's open, and our fans I think have gotten used to it."

April 1, 2009 - After over a day of deliberation, John Calipari is headed to Kentucky. The coach sent a text message to ESPN.com's Andy Katz on Tuesday evening saying, "I am accepting the UK job! Go Big Blue, coach Cal."

Maybe. The tears from BBN would be delicious.

Am I the only who is still really nervous to see a thread titled PREPARE YOURSELVES!? I'm still emotionally scarred from the past several months I guess

Great way to boost your salary demands. Openly say you're not interested... If the Pelicans are truly offering 4-5 mil, he needs them to double that.

Shouldn't be hard to get more money...given Cal's stellar NBA track record.

If Hop was offered the UK job, I'd drive him there myself.

 

[Cusefan0307]

Hmmm. Add a couple guys that can shoot with Anthony Davis and Igor might be able to win 50 games coaching the Pelicans. Smart move.

I thought the same thing, but when I saw there were less than 20 replies I figured it couldn't be anything serious.

Still, I feel the OP should be sanctioned for the thread title and use of all caps.

Dear lord, not another Calipari to the nba rumor.

 

[jordoo]

What could be a worse feeling as a college bball fan than Cal leaving you for a new gig. Talk about impending doom!

Click it. Click it! You know you want to click it.

I think Hop aspires to a higher level of ethics than those needed at UK.
