BIRMINGHAM, Ala. — SEC commissioner Greg Sankey stepped onto the SEC Media Days stage at the Grand Bohemian Hotel on Tuesday and talked about Arkansas men’s basketball coach John Calipari.
Scanning a list, Sankey rattled off many of the Naismith Hall of Fame coach’s achievements — six Final Fours, 62 NBA Draft picks, philanthropic efforts and more. Calipari entered stage left and joked, “We’ve been together 16 years. I would figure he would know that without having to read it off a piece of paper.”
Of those 16 trips around the sun, though, only two have been with the Razorbacks.
