John Calipari 'couldn't be more happy' for new Georgia basketball coach Tom Crean

'We start five freshman,' says John Calipari after win against Davidson. But he says 'you can't have three bad minutes' of bad play or 'you're down 12.' Matt Stone, Courier Journal

BOISE, Idaho - Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari was a vocal advocate for former Georgia coach Mark Fox retaining his job in Athens.

That support -- most recently voiced during the Southeastern Conference in St. Louis -- did not stop Fox from being fired though. Now that Georgia has hired former Indiana coach Tom Crean, Calipari will see another friend on the sideline next time Georgia and Kentucky matchup.
