During his appearance on ESPN’s Mike & Mike this morning, John Calipari clarified his previous comments to Mike Lupica on Lupica’s show regarding what coaches should and shouldn’t know about their program outside of basketball. Cal’s comments were taken as a shot at Rick Pitino, which led to a response from Pitino, but Cal wants to be clear: he has nothing but respect for Pitino and the words were not aimed at him.
“The stuff has blown up more than it should be,” Cal said. “If (Pitino) took it wrong, I apologize.”
