John Calipari vows to be a resource for Leon Rose if and when he takes over the New York Knicks, but he plans on staying put in Lexington.
University of Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari is linked to Leon Rose—the CAA agent who is reportedly taking over as New York Knicks team president. But don’t expect Calipari to make the jump back to NBA coaching anytime soon.
“I’ve known him for 25 years, dear friend. In a rough-and-tumble business—really, that business he was in was a sport too, like body-to-body contact, it is—and I’ve never heard in 25 years anybody say a bad word about Leon Rose,” Calipari said via Kyle Tucker of The Athletic.
