John Calipari is Kentucky’s Next Head Basketball Coach

It has been reported by several reliable websites that John Calipari has rejected the counter-offer that the University of Memphis offered him to stay at Memphis.  The report is that John Calipari has officially resigned as the head coach of Memphis.  He has called the University of Kentucky ”The Notre Dame of College Basketball” and expressed that he could not resist the opportunity to coach at UK.  Some have reported that the contract would be worth 40 Million dollars over a 6 year period, which comes to over a whopping 6 million per year, but there is no way to confirm the dollar amount at the moment!!

Either way, Kentucky was able to get their man this time and I’m sure all of us fans are looking forward to the coming months.  It has also been reported that several players from Memphis will accompany Calipari to Kentucky.  If this bodes true, look for the University of Kentucky basketball to become an instant powerhouse next year.  More to reports as information becomes available.
