Kind of a cool nugget we came across the other day that I wanted to share with Kentucky men’s basketball fans.Arizona State’s website, thesundevils.com, has a release on Herb Sendek, Arizona State’s basketball coach, and his success of helping former assistants get head-coaching jobs. Of course, if you’re going to mention coaching trees, UK’s very own, head coach John Calipari, has to be mentioned on the list.Sure enough, Calipari ties for second most in the nation in producing current head coaches with six. According to the release, six former Calipari assistants have gone on to take head-coaching jobs at other schools, tying him with Rice’s Ben Braun and Louisville’s Rick Pitino. Sendek ranks No. 1 with eight coaches.Check out the list below to see who Calipari has helped land a head-coaching gig. And don’t be surprised if you see one of Cal’s current assistants end up somewhere else in the next couple of years.BEN BRAUN, RICE (6): Keith Dambrot, Akron; Billy Kennedy, Murray State; George Nessman, San Jose State; Joe Pasternack, New Orleans; Charles E.
