Hahahahahahaha. Fool me once...

Calipari's sell will be this: As his old Kentucky stars – DeMarcus Cousins (2018), John Wall (2019) – become free agents, he'll have the Nets positioned to sign them. His former players have largely kept excellent relationships with him, but there are those close to them who say that most of his ex-stars remain reluctant to committing to 82 games a year of Cal's abrasive style. It wore out players fast in the 1990s in New Jersey, and Calipari would need to bring a different disposition to the NBA and prove that he's willing to treat NBA players like men, not teenagers.

I always believed that's why Calhoun never went to the NBA. Coaching college kids and coaching very well paid pros are very different.

So it's not just the kids and their parents that have bought in? There's other stupid people.

12 year - $120 mil is the asking price? Prokhorov is way over his head

Cal is not dumb enough to do that to himself.

Not too mention he has proven he is a recruiting machine at Kentucky....as long as he is getting the blue chippers he is getting Big Blue is going to have success (competing for titles not necessarily winning them). A couple bad years in the NBA and the patience of an owner will run thin just like it did last time in Jersey...he makes damn good money and essentially has job security at Kentucky. Would have to be an incredible organization I would think to get him to take a second stab at the pros.

That would be stupid. Most id go is half that 6/60. That being said i dont see Cal leaving UK. Only way he leaves is if its a situation he could win now in .

He is lifetime 72-112 as an NBA coach. Amazing he would get hired at all.

Oh, oh Wildcats fans, if there is real talk of Coach Cal bolting to the Nets (or anywhere else), the NCAA can't be far behind. Just ask UMass and Memphis.

Yup. Only the Boneyard knows the real story.

Caliparis nets tenure is a bit underrated , really turned things around before management sent off cassell for Marbury and lock out etc.

You're learning Crack.
