John Calipari (official thread of impending probation)

Something tells me this was going to be needed sooner or later for Cal

CALIPARI HIRES LEBRON'S BOY AS GRADUATE ASSISTANT

Rick Pitino brought on one of Marquis Teague's "guys" as a graduate assistant, but John Calipari may have one-upped his rival from down the road.

Calipari has added Brandon Weems as a graduate assistant.

No, Weems doesn't have a connection with a particular recruit as Shabaka Lands did with Teague.

However, Weems has one connection that could be extremely valuable.

Weems was a teammate of LeBron James' back at St. Vincent-St. Mary (Ohio) and is one of LeBron's closest friends. One source told me that Weems' presence in Lexington was key in LeBron showing up on the campus during the summer.

"You could say he's in LeBron's inner circle," said Walsh University head coach Jeff Young, who coached Weems at the Division II school. "They grew up together."

This will further a relationship between LeBron and Calipari that has been aided by William Wesley (aka Worldwide Wes), who is close with both parties.

This is pretty funny. It seems that one of Calipari's motivational stunts is to strike his clipboard and break it in half during time outs. He uses thin, fibre clipboards so that he can show his anger and motivate the troops.

Unfortunately for John, someone handed him a metal clipboard during the game at Kentucky. He hit it and had to have his hand bandaged.

"The other one I used to just be able to tap and it would break," Calipari said. "Somebody gave me a steel clipboard. Because of my strength, I really dented it, but it didn't break." (ESPiN link)

Because of his strength? :slappy:

He can ease that throbbing pain in his gourd with some of his namesake bourbon:

I'm really hoping against hope that this quote is lacking context and should include somewhere "We really wanted to see Evan Turner and John Wall go head to head on the same floor."

Because the way it's interjected here doesn't come across as being very flattering on Coach Cal's part.

Well, maybe ET can do unto John Wall as Oden did unto Joey Dorsey . . .:biggrin:

And you expect this guy to above that kind of thing? He is a POS any way you slice it. I believe he said that as a jab at Ohio State, meaning it would be an easy win. That is what this douche-nozzle is all about, winning at all costs. Just ask Memphis and UMASS fans if all that winning was worth it doing it the dirty Calipari way.


I hope those K-Y fans like the winning, because he will most likely get busted for dirty shit there soon and they will have to vacate all of these wins. Ever wonder why John Wall decided on K-Y over UNC? Things that make you go "Hmmmmmm....."

Fuck Calipari. I would NEVER let a child of mine be coached/taught by that sleaze bag.
