As the Kentucky basketball fan base is quickly learning, rumors of John Calipari leaving UK for another college job or another stab at the NBA have become as routine the past two springs as the flowers blooming and the seasonal rainstorms.Just last week the New York Post reported that Calipari may be on the New York Knicks’ head coaching radar should the Big Apple’s storied franchise decide to depart with current coach Mark D’Antoni. In an exclusive roundtable interview session with a handful of print and online publications Wednesday, Calipari didn’t deny the rumors but did appear to express comfort in his current post at the University of Kentucky.”Those rumors are going to be out there,” Calipari said. “I’ve got a great job. I’ve got one of the best in our sport. I can’t stop the rumors. I just don’t deal with them.”Following his first year at Kentucky, a 35-3 season that ended with a loss to West Virginia in the Elite Eight, Calipari was rumored for several coaching jobs in the NBA, including a possible collaboration with LeBron James in Chicago.Of course, those rumors never came to fruition, Calipari went on to sign his second straight No. 1 recruiting class and Kentucky returned to the Final Four this year for the first time since 1998. The only difference in the rumors this offseason, Calipari said, is that he’s already locked up the No. 1 class before the spring signing period. “Part of it is to try to screw up your recruiting,” Calipari said of the rumors. “I laughed when the rumors came out. I said, ‘You’re not screwing up our recruiting. We already have the kids signed.’ “Upon his hire in the spring of 2009, Calipari said he didn’t foresee himself coaching past the age of 60. While that line of thinking is up for debate with the ongoing tease to vindicate his first stint in the NBA, it appears the only move Calipari would make in the future would be to the pros.”The good news is they can’t say I’m taking other college jobs, which my whole career they’ve been saying,” Calipari said. “I wasn’t involved with the North Carolina State (job this offseson), the Georgia Tech, the Missouri, the Arkansas. Any job that was open (in the past) I was involved in, which I wasn’t, but that would be out there.”The ongoing coaching carousel still could affect Kentucky though. As Calipari grooms assistant coaches Orlando Antigua and Kenny Payne for future head coaching jobs, there is the possibility they could be ready to take on their own school in the very near future.Antigua was recently reported as a possible candidate for the vacant Miami (Fla.) job. “I would tell you within the next year, if not two, we’ll probably have a rollover; guys getting jobs and having opportunities,” Calipari said.Calipari said he would not advise his coaches to take just any job though.”You’re at Kentucky,” Calipari said. “You don’t just leave this for any other job. These guys, yeah, you’ll leave another job to go to another assistant’s job, but they’re at the place that you make sure whatever job you’re getting is a great opportunity.”That includes head coaching jobs.”(Opportunity) doesn’t mean leave now,” Calipari said. “Like someone says, ‘What’s a good Division I job?’ When you’re in this profession, it’s one you can get. That’s a good Division I job. A great Division I job is one of the top two or three jobs in any league. It doesn’t matter the league. If it’s one of the top two or three jobs, you’re going to win at a high level and then you’ll have opportunities to make that you’re next job – right where you are – or have an opportunity to move. It doesn’t matter if it’s the OVC. Is it the best job in that league? If it’s a great job, go for it. If it’s the worst job in the OVC, it’s a good job. It’s a Division I job, but it’s not a great job.”
