Here’s an excerpt from Zagsblog, where former Cardinal Francisco Garcia acknowledges Cal’s greatness.
[QUOTE=Zagsblog][B]NEW YORK [/B]– Count Sacramento Kings swingman [B]Francisco Garcia[/B] among those who’d like Kentucky coach [B]John Calipari [/B]to lead the Dominican national team at next summer’s Olympic qualifying event.
“He’d be more than welcome, you know, he’s a good coach, great coach,” Garcia said after scoring 8 points and grabbing 5 rebounds as the Kings downed the Knicks, 93-83, Friday night at MSG.
Ooh, the sky’s the limit for us if everybody plays,” Garcia said. “I’m sure me, Al and Charlie [are] playing this summer for sure. We gotta get Trevor. Trevor Ariza told me he might play this summer, too. So we’ll see.”
