UK Insider Details What Might Have Been Calipari’s Biggest Whiff Coming into Arkansas

There is no question some are using this putrid Arkansas basketball season as an opportunity to kick John Calipari while he’s down.

After all, the Hall of Fame coach hasn’t been in charge of very many teams that have struggled to the extent as the Razorbacks have in his first year at the helm.

Even before Arkansas sputtered to a 1-6 start to SEC play, though, Calipari faced a bit of criticism for how he built his debut team. His decision to sign only nine rotational players received most of the attention, but at least a few critiqued the staff he assembled in Fayetteville.
