This afternoon President Obama will be calling Coach Calipari to thank him for the Hoops for Haiti telethon. It doesn’t matter if you care for his politics, the fact that the President of The United States is calling our coach is a big deal. Again, we were out of the national picture in 08-09′ and now the President is calling our coach.
