John Calipari took to social media to seemingly respond to a report linking him with the UCLA head coaching job.
A report surfaced on Wednesday that Calipari was showing interest in coaching the UCLA Bruins. Later that day, the Kentucky Wildcats coach took to his Twitter account to say his “plan and desire” is to retire at Kentucky. Calipari then shifted his attention to the Wildcats’ NCAA Tournament game against Abilene Christian.
Before I go to bed, let me just say this: I’m coaching at the Univ. of Kentucky. In my opinion, there is no better job in the world to coach basketball. My plan and my desire is to retire at Kentucky. I think the university feels the same as I do and we’ve talked openly about it.

With the impressive resume Calipari has compiled, it’s not surprising to hear his name linked with one of the storied programs in college basketball. For now, he will be focusing on leading Kentucky to its first Final Four since 2015 and national championship since 2012.
