For John Calipari, it's all about Ws and the L-word. As his Kentucky team prepares to host Auburn Saturday at Rupp Arena, Calipari is focusing less than ever on basketball, but he's jumping through all sorts of hoops in order to get the Wildcats where he wants them.
“I'm not watching game tape with them. None,” Calipari said. “The staff is doing that. I don't want them to see me in a basketball sense right now. I'm just teaching life skills. That's all. How to deal with this, how to deal with adversity. What does it mean to love? Tell me what it means to love.”
Those were two of nine times Calipari said “love” in an 11-minute meeting with the media Thursday.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter's Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
