Kentucky confirms status as America’s dumbest state – eliminates jump ball from high school basketball
September 22, 2020

Like we need another reason to mock Kentuckians! Just when you thought human beings could not get dumber, Kentucky has thrown its giant stack of moron chips into the center of the table. To protect high school basketball players from COVID-19, the KHSAA has eliminated the jump ball at the beginning of games. I’m not kidding. […]

It’s a beautiful night as justice came to Rupp Arena in the form of the one team from the state of Indiana John Calipari will allow […]

John Calipari is right to not want an NBA Draft expansion, but for all the wrong reasons
October 17, 2019

As I scanned sports stories this morning, I dug into one because Kentucky Basketball coach John Calipari and I would finally agree on something. Calipari came out against expanding the NBA Draft. I assumed he believed it would be bad for college players because it would make sticking on an NBA roster more difficult than with the […]

John Calipari’s lifetime deal means Kentucky will be fun to hate for a long time
April 2, 2019

John Calipari secured a lifetime contract to coach basketball at Kentucky not long after UCLA offered him a pay cut to jump to the Bruins.

Questions – lots of questions about college basketball – and for every question – an answer! Should Mike Krzyzewski and John Calipari leave Duke and UK, change their recruiting priorities, or keep thrashing with the best talent available?

Handshake line charade needs to go, but not because of John Calipari’s act last night
March 23, 2018

Kentucky coach John Calipari has always been a self-immersed twit and a blight on college basketball, so please don’t misunderstand my thoughts on the stupidity of the postgame handshake ritual as a validation of his decision to blow it off last night. Kentucky got beat, K-State celebrated, and Calipari left the floor without waiting to shake […]

John Calipari paints himself as victim while defending Fox and Gottfried
February 19, 2017

No one in sports is as clumsy and obvious in banging his own drum while defending others as Kentucky head basketball coach John Calipari. Listening to Cal whine about how college basketball coaches paid millions to educate and lead students are victims in our society is either nauseating or funny depending upon your ability to laugh […]

Top 10 reasons why the Indiana All-Star series should stop including Kentucky as an opponent
June 8, 2016

A group of Indiana high school players representing its state and their high schools as the final act of a long pre-college basketball career is a cool tradition. Being forced to play against a ragtag bunch of all-stars from Kentucky as the last test in that process is unfairly dreary. The 22-point win the Indiana seniors […]
