Of the 12 minutes John Calipari spent discussing Kentucky’s need for basketball facility upgrades in the Bahamas, he’d like 30 seconds of it back — or a rewording, at minimum. “I said the wrong thing,” the UK head coach said at the time. “… Sometimes it doesn’t come out the right way.”
The other 11-plus overlooked minutes? Those didn’t just disappear. Calipari feels the upgrades are necessary, with a new practice gym being at the top of the priority list.
UK AD Mitch Barnhart disagrees, making it clear “it’s not a project that we’ve put on our strategic plan” with the Joe Craft Center — built in 2007 — being just 15 years old.
