Calipari is not the bad coach everyone makes him out to be*. Ignoring vacated records:
- In 12 yrs, his finishes at UK are: 1 NC; 1 Runner Up; 4 ; 7 Elite 8s; 8 SSs. 9 Tournament appearances. [i know there's doubling up here, but idk how to present it clearly] 6 SEC Tournament Champs. 5 conference champs.
- Getting Memphis to within a robbed bucket of a NC is quite impressive.
- He took UMass to a FF. UMass.
This is absurd success. Now compare that to Penny.
