LEXINGTON, Ky. — One day after Kentucky's season ended in an Elite Eight loss to Auburn, the school has agreed to terms with head coach John Calipari on a "long-term contract."
A UK spokesman confirmed the extension he said would allow Calipari to "finish his career at Kentucky," but did not disclose details of the deal. Earlier in the day, Seth Davis of the Athletic reported amid interest from UCLA Kentucky had offered Calipari "what is essentially a lifetime contract" to remain as its head coach.
Calipari is expected to address the new contract during his radio show at 6 p.
