While some of you argue that John Calipari has lost his way at Kentucky, the Sporting News named him its Coach of the Decade in the sport of men’s college basketball. Turns out, 305 wins, 31 NCAA tournament wins, nine NCAA tournament appearances, seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours and an NCAA championship is pretty damn good for a 10-year span.
More from the Sporting News’s story:
No one defined the 2010s in the same way as Calipari, though, nor achieved the same degree of consistent excellence. Calipari won more NCAA Tournament games this decade than all but five other active coaches did in their entire careers, or 18 coaches in the game’s history.
