Dan Shaughnessy of the Boston Globe is upset that UMass is going to honor Kentucky head coach John Calipari this week.
Calipari led UMass to the Final Four in 1996 but that trip was infamously vacated due to mistakes made by Marcus Camby.
Shaughnessy, who has notably hated on Calipari in the past, believes UMass should cancel the celebration.
Here is an excerpt of his thoughts:
It’s Calipalooza for the University of Massachusetts Athletic Department this week. John Calipari, UMass’s former head basketball coach — a man who took the Minutemen to their greatest heights and lowest depths — will be honored Tuesday and Wednesday at events in Boston and Amherst.
