Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart makes John Calipari's exit official
For days we have heard that John Calipari's exit from the Kentucky Wildcats basketball program was a done deal, but it just wasn't official yet.
Even while the rumors were swirling, Coach Cal stayed busy and stayed quiet. Nothing official came from the Arkansas side of things, where Calipari is expected to coach next season and beyond.
Nothing had come out of Lexington officially either. Until now.
Where Kentucky goes from here is anybody's guess, but one thing is clear — the expectations are high in Lexington and patience has run out.
Calipari brought Kentucky six Final Four appearances and a championship, but his Wildcats had without a doubt disappointed in March Madness over the past few seasons.
The most recent example was Kentucky's 80-76 first-round loss to Oakland University just a few weeks ago.
