According to Kentucky Sports Radio’s Matt Jones, Kentucky men’s basketball head coach John Calipari will return to the squad despite the Wildcats’ first-round loss to No. 14 seed Oakland in the NCAA Tournament.
This announcement comes after Calipari met with athletic director Mitch Barnhart on Tuesday.
In 2009, the Wildcats hired Calipari, who had previously coached Memphis for eight years. Calipari previously coached UMass for nine seasons before moving on to coach the New Jersey Nets for three years.
Over the course of a decade or more at Kentucky, Calipari routinely added 5-star talents (and future NBA luminaries) to his roster, generally for a single year.
