That's an interesting read. I've never trusted Calipari, but I never trusted Pitino either, both come across as too slick to be believed, and what's more they seem to know this and keep on selling. In some ways that makes them each more genuine.
I will say, I've not always been impressed by Cal's tactics on court, but it's hard to argue that he gets guys to play hard. With the talent he brings in, getting them to play hard on a regular basis is enough.
