LEXINGTON — Coach John Calipari personally announced in a video that he and his family have cherished their time in Kentucky, but they’ve decided to step down from the University of Kentucky Men’s Basketball program.
After a remarkable 15-year tenure, the Hall of Famer is departing to assume the head coaching position at Arkansas, according to sources. Calipari, aged 65, arrived at Kentucky in 2009, leading the Wildcats to a national championship in 2012.
This move marks one of the most surprising transitions in the sport’s history, as Calipari opts to remain in the SEC and take the helm in Fayetteville.
Stay tuned for further updates on this evolving situation.
