No doubt you’ve all heard about former Wildcat Derek Anderson’s comments regarding John Calipari. If not, Kentucky Sports Radio has a pretty good synopsis here, along with a link to the original commentary on ESPN 360 here in Louisville with Drew Deener.
I just want to make a few points about Derek’s comments, with the first and most important being that Anderson was a great player at Kentucky, loves the school and the basketball program, and is not by any means a clueless Calipari detractor. He is a card-carrying member of the Big Blue Nation. As such, he is entitled to his opinion, unpopular though it may be in much of Kentucky fandom, and still deserves our respect.
