Memphis Could Have Avoided This Mess

In most cases if John Calipari were to stay quiet for this long, someone might want to shove a cell phone under his nose to see if he showed any signs of life.

This is different. There can be only two reasons why he has maintained public silence for such a long period:

1) He’s seriously considering becoming the head coach at NC State, but it’s a tough decision because of the great team he’d be leaving behind;

2) He’s torturing the Memphis administration with a long wait because certain people were foolish enough to believe he couldn’t/wouldn’t leave for another job.

    Corchiani is a F**** mortgage broker, and people with Calipari’s cash have no need of his services.

    So…according to the Rumors…John Calipari is wearing a red plaid blazer on his way to Raleigh while his wife is riding around with the UPS driver and Chris Corchiani looking for a house? I thought the UPS driver would know where any house is located?

    why would corchiani need to be a mortgage broker? didn’t he make milions in the nba?

    Anyone with Calipari’s cash would be smart enough to keep their money and use someone else’s money to buy a house. You don’t spend your cash on that shit…you get thirty years of tax deductible interest by taking out a loan and use your own money in the stock market.

  11. JimmyVguy 04/11/2006 at 3:48 PM #

    or better yet…take out a loan for that too.

    Dammit, the mood is sour right now. All my hope has left me again, chased off by too many memories of disappointment the last 16 years. I’m back to thinking we might as well hire Mike O’Donnell since he did such a bang-up job filling the last “empty spot” on the basketball roster.

  13. JimmyVguy 04/11/2006 at 4:01 PM #

    I liked Mike O’Donnell. He was better than Atsur.

  20. Jeremy Hyatt 04/11/2006 at 4:04 PM #

  21. Jeremy Hyatt 04/11/2006 at 4:04 PM #

  22. Winston Wolf 04/11/2006 at 4:04 PM #

  25. Jeremy Hyatt 04/11/2006 at 4:06 PM #

    1) why wouldn’t Ced wait to see who is coach

    2) does he think he get picked hi just cause of that one Duke game
