LL: I know that coach Calipari has brought back Scott Padgett and Tony Delk for the coaching staff. Have you talked to him about a position in the future?

WT: No I haven’t. I pretty much understand how the coaching situation goes. I’m pretty sure a thousand other people that coach Calipari knows would love to be a part of his coaching staff that hasn’t surfaced yet. Coach Cal has been great for me as far as my return back here. He’s been showing me great loyalty. I can go to most practices whenever; I mean everything’s open arms with him. Just by him helping me actually transition back into school because I did call him before I made my return and he was all open arms and did everything that he could to get me in the position I am right now to finish up my degree.
