Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari
- John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.
- The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.
- Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.
- This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.

cbssports.com/nba/news/hornets-to-interview-lindsey-harding-jay-larranaga-for-vacant-head-coaching-position-per-report/
Quick Glance: Charlotte Hornets Interview Lindsey Harding for Head Coaching Role: Insider
- The Charlotte Hornets have been given the green light to engage with Lindsey Harding, the coach of the G League’s Stockton Kings, for the head coaching position in Charlotte, as confirmed by a league insider on Monday.
- If selected, Harding would make history as the first woman to lead an NBA team as head coach. Recently, Harding was honored as the NBA G League Coach of the Year for guiding the Stockton Kings to an impressive season record of 24-10.
- At 39 years old, Harding was the top pick by the Phoenix Mercury in the 2007 WNBA Draft. She made headlines last year as the sole female head coach in the NBA or G League, debuting against the Santa Cruz Warriors in November 2023.
- Despite the scarcity of women in NBA coaching roles, an increasing number are excelling as player development coaches or serving as second or third assistants.
