It’s no secret that Kentucky Basketball is a job that causes coaches to age faster than most gigs.
Well, at least that’s what John Calipari believes. Throughout Calipari’s tenure in Lexington, he’s stated on multiple occasions that the demands of this job are taxing to the point he may retire sooner than most coaches would.
Part of that is due to Calipari not wanting to coach so long that his last few years see the program take a step back. In all sports, we’ll great coaches go a little too long and struggle to produce during their last few seasons before retirement, or even getting let go by the school.
