According to Paul Myerberg of USA Today, John Calipari is the most overpaid coach in college basketball.
Myerberg claims, “the Wildcats have looked tired and predictable on offense while struggling to lock down a postseason bid.”
Here is an excerpt:
John Calipari, Kentucky
There are concerns that Calipari’s tenure at Kentucky has grown stale as he heads into the home stretch of his 14th season. After missing the tournament in 2021 and getting jettisoned early last spring, the Wildcats have looked tired and predictable on offense while struggling to lock down a postseason bid. The results haven’t been there to justify Calipari’s salary, which is by far the largest in the country; in second is Kansas’ Bill Self at $5.96 million.
You can always tell it’s March. That’s when national writers who dislike Kentucky and Calipari put out most of their hit pieces.
