Is the Kentucky Wildcats coach John Calipari still shopping himself to NBA coaching jobs? Or is this leaked news just a little publicity stunt, to make the BBN fans forget that he disagrees with many of them. Proclaiming that the confederate flag should be removed?
Yesterday John Calipari made this Facebook post
Most know the state of Kentucky has a rich Confederate history and heritage. Kentucky has several historic sites related to the civil war, with many descendants of Confederate veterans. Some of them are part of the big blue nation.
The Kentucky Division of the Sons of Confederate Veterans may feel insulted with this basketball coach and his opinions.
So how does a guy like John Calipari recover from offending a large part of his fanbase? The negative facebook and twitter comments are pouring in, condemning the UK coach. He needs to sweep this under the rug quickly, but how?
How About Another Leaked NBA Job Rumor?
Yes, that’s right, the day after John Calipari gets slammed for his controversial comment regarding removing the Confederate flag, the news was leaked that the Coach of the Kentucky men’s basketball team might be in talks to take over as an NBA head coach, and head of basketball operations for The Sacramento Kings!
According to Yahoo! Sports’ Adrian Wojnarowski, The Sacramento Kings have had discussions with John Calipari about taking over as head coach and head of basketball operations, But why is this even news? The Kings haven’t made a formal offer yet, and Calipari has consistently denied interest in leaving Lexington for the NBA.
The correct answer may be to get some UK fans thinking about something other that him disrespecting the flag of their heritage. What better way to get the low fan base back in your corner, then present them with the threat that you could leave them?
I think you are dead on correct with this one.
Cal should keep his opinions and comments strickly to basketball
