Calipari is very frank with these kids that they MUST (with honor) agree to finish strong in the classroom

One of the reasons I respect Cali.

I wonder how he'd fit into Jazz culture. Seems like he has some Sloan qualities. Doesn't like his players
showboating or doing flashy finishes. Just score, and be done with it.

I know Pitino quite well.. and I lived two doors down from him at Harbourside Condominiums. One time.. once he had become the coach at Louisville, we were on the elevator after UK spanked UL and I said, "Nice try coach." (I had called him coach for many years)

He looked at me, no change in expression, and said, "Call me Rick."

I thought that was awesome... that he was a little pissed.

Ouch!!!!! You guys won the game, but I think he won that little interchange in the elevator!!!!

Do you remember when the NY Times (iirc) write called him overrated and said he would get exposed in the upcoming exhibition game against a college team (Div ii or iii but whatevs)?

His team was expected to lose but he went and torched them for either 54 or 57.. crushed it when he was challenged.

Yep he also shut down Randle a possible future nba all star last summer..I think its a bit premature to kill him about effort..

Im sure big time players have taken a few plays off so to speak in hs before..When you're being told you are gonna be the #1 pick in the draft in a little over a year im sure it can be hard at times to get motivated every second playing against much inferior competition..

It's a pity Pitino isn't more likable. I could totally see Al Pacino playing him in a movie.

<<<< After the loss to UK, scene in the elevator >>>>


Michael Douglas: (looking straight ahead) "Nice try coach."

Al Pacino: (also looking straight ahead) "Call me Rick".

Michael Douglas: (punches side of elevator) "You little *******"

Al Pacino: (as he walks away) "You may have won the battle, but I'm gonna win the WAR".


<<<< Story proceeds on how Pitino used that as the motivation to coach harder than ever >>>>

<<<< Flash Forward TV clips of how he led a team of mis-fits and scraps (Louisville) winning the '13 Chips >>>>

<<<< And TV clips of UK losing to Robert Morris >>>>>

Al Pacino, trophy n hand, is asked by a cub reporter about the elevator incident and if he's seen PKM since that momentous encounter.

With a wry smile, Pacino reprises his famous line, saying, "No, I haven't, but If you see him, say hello to my little friend."
