I can’t get out of my mind the way John Calipari bit off the interview question about Derek Willis’ two three-point baskets just before halftime of the Mississippi State game.
The ESPN sideline reporter, an earnest and well-meaning Shannon Spake, said, "You must have gotten a lift from those two Derek Willis shots." And Cal just stared her into dust, with one of his "do you even watch the game?" smirks.
"Yeah," Calipari blurted, before she had even punctuated her sentence, "and then he gave up a three at this end," and, to quote Chief Marge Gunderson of the Fargo police department, he fled the interview.
