Q. For Coach Cal, why do you think your program can be, let’s say, a magnet for criticism sometimes?
COACH CALIPARI: It’s Kentucky.
Q. Did you get the sense that when the team was struggling that people enjoyed that?
COACH CALIPARI: It’s Kentucky. It’s what you buy into. If you want to coach at Kentucky or play at Kentucky, You got some guys with agendas, you got some guys that, you know, it’s that program. It’s part of it.
