UMass honors John Calipari with statue

Kentucky Wildcats head coach John Calipari is doing his best two-step this week as he’s had one foot in the past, while the other is ready to bounce into the future to begin his 13th season in Lexington

On Tuesday, Calipari met with the local press to discuss summer workouts and was emphatic about “moving on” from a horrific 2020-21 basketball season. In fact, the 62-year-old has a new spring in his step and seems to be champing at the bit to unleash his most experienced team yet on the college basketball world this season.

Ironically, Calipari’s week ended with a time machine back to the University of Massachusetts campus on Friday where he had his own statue unveiled to commemorate his contributions to the UMass basketball program.
