Jim Calhoun on John Calipari: He's a 'bulls----er' and 'he knows that'

With the Connecticut Huskies set to face off with the Kentucky Wildcats in Monday's National Championship Game in Arlington, Texas, Former UConn head coach Jim Calhoun appeared on WEEI's Dennis & Callahan morning show, and was asked about Kentucky head coach John Calipari.

“The one thing about John, John can become, you know, a bullshitter." Calhoun said. "The good thing about John … that’s why I actually have a better relationship with John than I used to many years ago, John kind of knows that. At least I think he knows that."

Calhoun and Calipari developed a rivalry back when the two coached at UConn and Massachusetts, respectively.

Calhoun went on to talk about Calipari's recruiting strategy at Kentucky.

"I don’t do business the way he does. But he’s done a good job coaching. His way, one-and-done, most institutions are not going to allow what Kentucky does. But that’s okay. That’s a lot of kids to leave early. But he can coach. He gets his kids to play. He’s done a good job certainly getting talent.”
