REPORT: John Calipari has “serious interest” in the UCLA job

We started out with endless rumors yesterday surrounding PJ Washington’s foot injury, with Kentucky head coach John Calipari saying today that the sophomore forward sprained his foot against Tennessee this past weekend. He’s expected to play this weekend, but he’s seeing a second specialist just to be certain.

Now, there’s a rumor out involving Calipari’s future at Kentucky.

According to Tracy Pierson of 247 Sports, there is significant mutual interest between John Calipari and the UCLA basketball program for the team’s head coaching vacancy.

“According to various sources, the Hall of Fame coach is showing what some have described as “serious interest” in coming to Westwood,” the report claims.
