LEXINGTON - Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari has shot down the latest rumors linking him to the NBA before they had chance to gain steam.
On Thursday, multiple media outlets reported the Knicks are set to hire former agent Leon Rose, a longtime friend of Calipari's, as the team's new president. The Athletic reported Rose is likely to hire basketball mogul and Calipari confidant William Wesley, known more commonly as "World Wide Wes," in his front office.
