Before Antigua was a Head Basketball Coach

This evening’s game is an ode to Orlando Antiga, Calipari’s former right hand man that should be credited with much of the success at Kentucky over the last seven years.

During his time at Kentucky, Antigua was considered the master planner behind Calipari’s evil recruiting genius. Many loved Antigua’s styled hair, but other than “he’s the behind-the-scenes recruiting guy,” we didn’t know much about it him…other than he was once a Harlem Globetrotter.

Little did we all know the long road Antigua took to success.
