John Calipari has went to twitter to address the comments made by Jim Boehiem. If you recall yesterday Jim Boeheim says John Calipari is Disingenuous about Coach K’s Team USA Advantage.
Earlier today Calipari took a jab at Boeheim when he made a comment about an orange.
Calipari sent out these tweets addressing the situation.
Jim’s comments were brought to my attention & I called him. We are friends. I have unbelievable respect for him & how he runs his program.
