John Calipari and Rick Pitino discussed the Kentucky-Louisville rivalry, Pitino’s early days at UK and their introductions to coaching during an hourlong podcast the Kentucky coach released on Thursday morning.
Calipari’s recently launched “Cal Cast” has included previous guests such as former NBA star Charles Barkley, and college coaches Jim Harbaugh, Mike Krzyzewki and Geno Auriemma, but fans have anticipated the release of the Pitino podcast since Calipari announced it was coming earlier this month.
“We don’t exchange cards. No birthday cards. No Christmas cards. But, you will find out that there is respect,” Calipari said in introducing the podcast with his rival coach at Louisville.
