Calipari - goal wasn't winning championship but getting 8 drafted (Memphis 2008?)
Fell just one short of the team's goal -- but for an injury ... Same philosophy at Memphis? >>>

...“Last year we started the season with a goal. You may think that goal was to win the national title, win all the games," Calipari said at the Alltech REBELation conference, where he was awarded Alltech’s 2015 Humanitarian Award. "It was to get eight players drafted."

“We had a historic year, fell short of a national title, but seven players will be in the draft this year,” the coach said, and if Alex Poythress didn't get injured, "we would’ve had eight," he added.

I think Calipari will have to come back and re-explain this one. Some of the old time Kentucky fans can't be happy with the program being sold as little more than an NBA feeder.

Had he won the NC this statement never would have been said. It's all coach speak.

What does he care? Isn't he interested in the Pelicans HC position? I mean he says he's right where he wants to be, right?

Supposed Pastner supporters like TIGERCITY continue to post Calipari threads on the Dockery-Finch.
