Tuesday’s thrilling overtime win over Mississippi State marked John Calipari’s 800th victory as a head coach when you combine his victories at UMass, Memphis, and Kentucky.
Since most of the articles I’m seeing aren’t docking him for some of Memphis’s vacated wins, I think we can consider him at 801 following Saturday’s win over the Kansas Jayhawks.
The big question, of course, is whether he’ll hit four digits and get the prestigious 1,000. Only Coach K has officially done it, and Jim Boeheim has unofficially, though he’ll finish making up the vacated ones pretty soon anyway.
