Despite flirtations with Texas in 2022-23 and Ohio State this spring, Calipari’s decision to leave Kentucky, where he amassed 410 victories including one National Championship, has taken many by surprise.
Kentucky now faces its first coaching search in 15 seasons, since the tumultuous Billy Gillespie era.
