Kentucky men's basketball head coach John Calipari didn't let social distancing stop him from holding a press conference Tuesday. He held a virtual call to discuss the state of the program, the impact of the coronavirus on college basketball and touched on the upcoming NBA draft.

From his home office in Lexington, the coach said he and his wife, Ellen, have been ordering takeout at least once per day to help small, local businesses survive during a time of uncertainty, and he has donated to the university's student emergency fund.
