Regardless of what you think about his somewhat checkered past, Kentucky head coach John Calipari is a legend. When he speaks, everyone listens. And after his team earned a gutty 76-74 win over the Texas Tech basketball team on Saturday night, he shared his thoughts about what Chris Beard has built in Lubbock.
“This dude can coach,” Coach Cal said of Beard after the game. “I watch him in close games like the one tonight, he does the right things. I have great respect for him. He’s good at what he does & his kids fight for him.
