The longtime sports anchor: 'It's probably one of the coolest things I've covered.'
The longtime sports anchor: 'It's probably one of the coolest things I've covered.'
"I'm like, 'Let's go.' Now, I met with the team. There is no team."
"I should not have made it sound like there was a 'counter offer' situation."
"That’s solid trolling."
"Real ones remember the flip phone version."
On what was normally his off-day, the veteran TV reporter had the biggest scoop of his career
"How many was he supposed to win? More than Tubby Smith. More than Joe B. Hall. How bout that?"
"My dog is walking me."
'I'm going to work. I'll work for this program, for this state, for this university, really work for these young people. That's my commitment.'
"There are only two people on the planet who can coach Kentucky — it's Calipari and Pitino."
"He hasn't shown the agility to adjust to the new culture and environment of college basketball."
"The era of taking these young freshmen and trying to play against older players is over."
"But when the game started, you had some guys not play to the level they could play."
"'Are you going to have a soda?' What are you talking about? A pop?"
"It’s really lame not to do the Postgame Radio interview after this loss. It just is"
"Such a good story."
""What the hell was John Calipari doing right there?"
"He's the worst member of the boy band who doesn't realize he's standing next to Timberlake. When the girls are throwing panties at his head, he's going to get hit by some drive-by panties, but they're meant for Timberlake."
The Kentucky coach didn't want to talk about the FBI, but Jerry Tipton asked about it anyway.
"One-and-done" appears to have spread into the military and political realm.
John Calipari had a good time in his ESPN Selection Show interview.
Jonathan Hock's new 30 for 30 on John Calipari is a rare one on a still-active figure.
