Jerry Tipton of the Lexington Herald-Leader has attempted to rain on John Calipari’s parade tonight as he says the Kentucky head coach only has 458 college coaching victories.
Here is an excerpt:

[QUOTE]Gary Johnson, the head of Division I men’s basketball statistics, said Monday that the NCAA does not recognize Kentucky’s 76-68 victory over Florida on Saturday as Calipari’s 500th college coaching victory.
Because his Memphis team had to vacate 38 victories in 2007-08 and his Massachusetts team vacate four post-season victories in 1995-95, Calipari has 458 college coaching victories going into Tuesday’s game against Vanderbilt, according to the NCAA’s official statistics. So after the Florida game, UK mistakenly presented Calipari with a basketball to commemorate his 500th victory.
