John Calipari doesn't mess around...

The Memphis Commercial Appeal is reporting that according to one source Calipari met with Memphis boosters to encourage them to hire UTEP's head coach Tony Barbee who is a former Memphis assistant and one of Calipari's close friends. They said he may be using leverage that includes players leaving Memphis if Barbee isn't hired. I have also heard that John Calipari is going to have a press conference in Memphis very soon and will be in Lexington by late this evening.

I've also heard that Sully Sullenburger, the pilot who landed safely in the Hudson River, has been hired to fly Calipari to Lexington, just so we are sure that he will be in good hands and arrive safely. I might have made that last sentence up but I want it to be true so badly.
