Just got this e-mail from someone with a very interesting perspective:
John,
As someone who worked in athletics at UK and UMass when Calipari was
there, I can only say that of all the candidates out there, he is the
best fit possible. The style of play and John’s own personal style
will be amazing. Not to mention with he and Pitino both being in the
same state, it will provide tons of material for all the media.
I have confirmed the authenticity of the e-mailer, but he or she doesn’t want the name used.
I really think this email is right. We need to return this program to prominence NOW. We cant wait 3-4 years for an untested coach to develop (all the while risking that he might not be so great after all). We need a proven winner, and Izzo, Donovan and Wright aren’t coming. SIGN CALIPARI.

He definitely knows how to make friends
Didn’t Sandy Bell work at UMass before UK?
No, she did not. That isn’t a Sandy e-mail.
Any truth to the rumors that Pitino is heading to Arizona?
And who better to stick it to traitor rick. Rick P should’ve focused more on last nights game than who UK should get next. Guess what, Rick is next!
To he person who claims to have worked at UMass! while Calipari was there: You seem to be the first to post with actual knowledge of the man. I hope your comments are from a wise observer and not from a ‘I love Calipari’ type. I also hope very much that you are correct..
