During his speech, Calipari criticized NCAA President Mark Emmert for his position on one-and-done players, a rule Calipari says he doesn't like, either.
"The NCAA president said let them go right out of high school? What?" Calipari said. "How many ninth graders will think, 'I'm going right to the NBA?' Five hundred? One thousand? Now those kids will be really focused on academics. How could you make that statement? Source: Al.com
We expect this will not be Calipari's last negative comment directed at the NCAA. We may criticize Calipari from time to time but we openly applaud his criticism of the NCAA and the guts he displays when he does so. Other coaches in D1 should take note.
