Talk:John Calipari

Undid the mention of him accepting the job at Kentucky, as this has not been confirmed anywhere.

John Calipari's daughter, Megan, went to White Station Middle School for 7th and 8th grade in 2002-3 and 2003-4. In 2005-6, she attended White Station High School as a freshman, but has since left. If anyone knows where she went to afterward, please contribute this information.

Cal's Memphis stats and win-loss records need to be updated and examined for consistency throughout the article. The stats seem to be as of the end of last year (2004-2005 season).

Stats need to be updated at the end of the season, but not during the season. Constant editing after each game doesn't serve much of a purpose.

Added additional information, including breaking down his coaching record year-by-year

Only Roy Williams won more games after 15 seasons

"And they have Calipari, a coaching animal and Larry Brown disciple, whose track record speaks for itself. Calipari has won more games (374) in his first 15 years than any other coach beside Hall of Famer Roy Williams, who won 418 in that period at storied Kansas before moving on to North Carolina. He is one of only three coaches — along with Williams and Bill Self of Illinois and Kansas — who have coached two different teams to No. 1 seeds."

No mention of the shady dealings at UMASS?

Laughable, and deserving of the POV tag. Crotchety Old Man (talk) 16:46, 15 March 2009 (UTC)

John Calipari was cleared of all wrongdoing at UMass by the NCAA. Wikipedia articles should only contain factual information, and not rumors. The only sanction handed down by the NCAA to UMass during Calipari's tenure resulted from player Marcus Camby accepting money from an agent. UMass had to forfeit their 4-1 record from the 1996 NCAA Tournament, but that was it. Calipari was cleared by the NCAA, and was given no sanctions himself. Even the Wikipedia article about the UMass Minutemen mentions it. Gregchilders 23:14, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
