At times, we, as coaches, try to shove guys as square pegs into round holes and keep hammering away.
Quote by -John Calipari
I majored in business/marketing because I was going to be a teacher and a high school basketball coach.
Quote by -John Calipari
If they want to go to college and then leave, let them leave when they want to leave. Why would we force a kid to stay? 'Well - it's good for the game?' It's about these kids and their families.
Quote by -John Calipari
My life, even as a college student, has all been through the NCAA, and I'm telling you there's so much good that comes out of it.

I've always said I have more money than I can spend, than my children can spend.
Quote by -John Calipari
I'm going to continue to see my friends who coach in the NBA and see my former players who play in the NBA. I'm going to continue to go to games.
Quote by -John Calipari
We should not go to a baseball rule. If a kid goes to college and, after a year or two, wants to go to the NBA and is good enough - and he grew, he got bigger, he got more confidence - let him go. Why would you now force a kid to go two years?
Quote by -John Calipari
We don't get every kid. We get the ones we are supposed to get. It just kind of plays out that way, and it always has.

He helped my career, helped me basketball-wise and every other way. I'm a big fan of Thibs.

Quote by -John Calipari
In most cases, in this sport, for guys to advance in this sport, you gotta fight. If you don't fight, you're not making it, because it's too competitive.
Quote by -John Calipari
I tweet, Facebook, website, but guess what? Do I look at any response? Have I ever looked at a response? I wouldn't know how to get in.
Quote by -John Calipari
You're not gonna do what we do better than we do it. Even if you're doing what we do, you're not gonna do it better. I'm absolutely convinced of that.
Quote by -John Calipari
So kids that have pro potential and want to take a loan so that their families don't have to deal with it, why can't you?
Quote by -John Calipari
All my best players have been really good guys, which means I can coach them.
Quote by -John Calipari
There are certain people I do want to absolutely dislike me. And I want them to paint me as their enemy. Because I want nothing to do with them.
Quote by -John Calipari
The thing I can tell you about coaching is that we make decision and career moves when your nerves and emotions are still raw, right after the season. It's the worst profession for that.
Quote by -John Calipari
If it's late in the game, then you have your five best free-throw shooters on the court.
Quote by -John Calipari
We're not the only ones out there trying to get good players and trying to help kids.
