Kentucky fans love John Calipari for what he has accomplished at Kentucky, and they should. He has three Final Four appearances and won the schools 8th National Championship in his five years as Kentucky coach. People outside Kentucky don’t share the same feeling about Cal as Kentucky fans do.
In my opinion, Calipari is one of the top five coaches in the game today, and he will eventually be in the Hall of Fame. As long as Cal is at Kentucky, he will continue to be successful and disliked by people outside Kentucky.
Sports Illustrated has listed The Most Disliked People in Sports and john Calipari is on the list at #17.
John Calipari
Kentucky basketball coach
Calipari wins and recruits wherever he goes. He’s also left a trail of NCAA violations in his wake at UMass and Memphis. His position at the forefront of college basketball’s “One-and-Done” era of recruiting have made him reviled among hoops traditionalists.
