Start of a new era!!!
We all know that Coach Calipari (head basketball coach of UK) is the highest paid coach in the NCAA today, but what is it that really makes him the highest paid coach in college basketball? My opinion is his ability to take players to the NBA level especially guards such as Derek Rose of the Chicago Bulls and our very own John Wall, who is predicted to be the first round pick in the 2010 NBA draft. Another great reason is that before UK hired him John Wall, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe, and John Hood were all committed to Memphis. Instead of going there they faithfully followed this legendary coach all the way to Lexington. Hint, hint, Calipari used to be an NBA coach so I'm guessing these players are the sheep and they see him as the shepard. Prior to this already successful Wildcat season, Calipari already brought two different schools to a number one spot. Memphis on more than one occasion. It also helps too when DeMarcus Cousins is widely predicted to be the number two first round pick in next years NBA draft. This has never happened for the first two picks in the NBA draft to have been on the same college team in the same class. I think Calipari is here to stay. Not to mention that many news sources have quoted Calipari for coaching at UK to be his "dream job".
