John Calipari just issued a response to the report that he reached out to the New York Knicks about its open president position. It was a full denial of contact with the Knicks organization by him or anyone around him. "NO ONE has contacted the Knicks on my behalf," Calipari said in a tweet. "I am the coach at Kentucky and will be for a long time!" https://twitter.com/UKCoachCalipari/status/880622566305652736 If you're wondering why it took so long for Calipari to respond and deny what has been said, consider that he has been sound asleep in Cairo, Egypt ever since the report came out. He has been snug as a bug in a rug without the slightest clue he's been the talk of college basketball for the last 5-6 hours, and then he wakes up to this bombshell to start his busy day. https://twitter.com/UKCoachCalipari/status/880622778994524160 https://twitter.com/UKCoachCalipari/status/880623001628278785 So there ya go. Just another case of someone throwing Calipari's name into the mix for an NBA job, likely someone with an agenda. It happens every summer, often more than once. We're used to it by now. So rest easy, BBN. Cal likes his team.
