Hogs have possible rivalry brewing with unlikely program even if they never meet on the court.
FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — There are currently two active coaches in men's college basketball who have taken three different programs to a Final Four.
Both coaches are still near the top when fans talk about the sports best coaches. A little luster has fallen off Calipari and Pitino's name over the past few years due to limited tournament success. Winning in March goes a long way for respect at the local, regional and national levels. What have you done for them lately is the barometer which a coaching tenure is viewed.
Pitino sits directly behind Calipari at No. 10 with 854 wins in his career spent with Hawaii , Boston University, Providence , Kentucky , Louisville , Iona and St. John's. It's certainly realistic to believe both Calipari and Pitino finish this season in the top five in wins. Since the 2021 NCAA Tournament, Calipari led Kentucky to one victory in three separate appearances. Upset losses to Cinderella St. Peter's and Oakland led by Jack Gohlke's dependence on three point shooting hampered what could have been promising tournament runs.
