One day after his tragic passing, the basketball world is still reeling from the untimely death of Terrence Clarke.
Among those grieving is Kentucky coach John Calipari, who traveled to Los Angeles to be with Clarke's family. Upon his arrival, he wrote an essay about Clarke that he released on his website on Friday, calling his former player "as caring of a person as I have ever coached."
"His enthusiasm and energy—not just for basketball, for life—are what we all hope to have in our journey," Calipari wrote. "Terrence had figured that part out—that if you wake up every day with a smile on your face and a joy in everything you do, this life is beautiful.
