There is no doubt that John Calipari is a polarizing figure. When it comes to opinions about Calipari, a myriad of emotions arise. You do not have to look far to find them either. Big Blue Nation (99% of them anyway) loves the guy and realizes his greatness. They understand he is the best coach the University could ask for. Rivals absolutely despise him and have nicknames like Paypal Cal, CALamari, and many other less clever ones. We all know the reason behind that; jealousy, envy, etc.
In the middle, however, you will find a lot of varying thoughts.
