During his post-game news conference following an 82-77 win over Georgia, Kentucky head coach John Calipari defended two coaches with the same first name.
First, it was Georgia head coach Mark Fox, who Calipari had just beaten. While there have been those vocal on social media and message boards about Fox’s job performance this season, the actual truth is nothing has risen to it landing him on the proverbial hot seat.
Even so, Calipari rose to his defense following Saturday’s game, which included Georgia having to go the final 38 minutes of the game without star forward Yante Maten, who sustained what Fox called a “significant” injury to his right knee.
