Calipari said he has not yet met with athletic director Mitch Barnhart, but he plans to as early as Tuesday.
In an hour-long appearance on his weekly radio show Monday night, Kentucky coach John Calipari did not sound like a man whose job is in danger after a fourth consecutive season without making the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament. He did, however, sound like a man who understands that the recent results have not been good enough for the Wildcats program he guided to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours and a national title in his first 10 seasons. “I’m gonna work,” Calipari said.
“How do you continue to do it with freshmen — what do they have to look like physically — and how do you bring in some transfers out of the portal? I like the combination of both. We just gotta get the right transfer who understands what this is. We got to keep coaching these young kids. We probably got to use the summer a little bit different, because where all this has gone, we got to get more physicality, more time in the weight room.
