TOP TEN REASONS CALIPARI KNEW DERRICK ROSE DID NOT TAKE HIS OWN ACT
(10) Where the hell is Detroit Coach ?
(9) Hey Coach how come they don’t have the alphabet over the chalk boards in the class rooms ?
(8) Hey Coach I gotta pee !
(7) Hey Coach did you know Forrest Gump is my hero ?
(6) Hey Coach while your out at Wal-Mart can you pick me up some more crayons ?
(5) Hey Coach I am flunking Ebonics !
(4) Hey Coach momma says Basketball is the work of the Devil !
(3) Hey Coach I hired Wes as my agent !
(2) Hey Coach if we put the ball through the hoop more than the other team does that mean we win ?
(1) Hey Coach how do you spell Derik Roze ?
Gotta be Forde, right? I’m guessing Mr. Clay is categorically against coach-on-journalist violence.
I’m thinking Cal would like to punch that columnist back in Memphis. Caulkins I think is his name? Some of the stuff he has wrote since Cal left honestly I’m surprised he hasnt gotten sued over.
I think Caulkins is as likely a candidate as Forde.
I think it might be Mark Story. How can Story link the NCAA investigation at Memphis with Pitino’s sexcapades and Billy G’s late night/early morning golfing? Calipari has been found gulity of absolutely nothing at UMass and Memphis by the NCAA….and the way they have been making recent rulings, I believe if they wanted to, they would.
Have to agree with JHB4UK and Jack. I think it’s Caulkins. But Forde would be a good stand-in.
