I ran across this article by The New Haven Register, in an UCONN Basketball Blog of all places, that spoke very highly of Coach John Calipari.
Nice to see someone in the media from a (somewhat) rival school that doesn’t think Cal is the most evil man in the world.

Or, better yet, maybe you should.[/FONT][/COLOR]
[COLOR=#363636][FONT=arial]Calipari was in Stratford Wednesday night, not to recruit a player but to be the guest speaker at the St. Joseph’s boys basketball banquet. Stems from his long-time friendship with St. Joe’s coach Vito Montelli.
[/FONT][/COLOR][COLOR=#363636][FONT=arial]I’m not saying this is the greatest act of kindness ever performed by a college basketball coach (though it’s not the first time Cal has done something like this). But let’s face it, the head coach of the national champions didn’t have to come from Kentucky to Stratford, Conn., on a Wednesday night to address a high school boys basketball team — one which holds no potential recruits for him. Just a guy being loyal to his friend.[/FONT][/COLOR]
