“They are not machines, they are not robots,” John Calipari said of his team following Kentucky‘s loss to Kansas on Saturday.

It’s become a go-to Cal-ism over the years, one used quite frequently as of late. He throws it out there just about every time he steps to the podium for a postgame press conference, win or loss. It’s a way to defend his players through struggles — both physical and mental.

A former Wildcat is now using Calipari’s quip against him while finding success at his new school, claiming he felt like a robot playing for the Hall of Fame coach in Lexington.
