John Calipari addressed the situation with Croatian big man Zvonimir Ivisic on his call-in show Monday night.
“How about this? He’s dying to get back. He wants to play for this university and these fans in the worst way,” Calipari said of Ivisic after confirming that he will return to Lexington this week. “He went back and told everybody, ‘I’ve never been coached this way. I’ve never been challenged this way. I love the environment, the fans.’ He just wants to play.”
Calipari clarified that the issue with Big Z and the NCAA is money that he received while playing for a professional team overseas.
