Here we go again…

April 10th, 2006 | Posted by Matt

Our favorite columnist/wanna be journalist Andy Katz is at it again. Today ESPN’s Katz reported that John Calipari is in “serious negotiations” with N.C. State regarding its head coaching position.

This is not the first time Mr. Katz has made a blunder with a head coaching vacancy. But in this situation, he might just be onto something. He makes a good point in the article, saying that Calipari would be “in the Triangle with Duke’s Mike Krzyzewski and North Carolina’s Roy Williams.” He goes on to call Calipari the “king of Conference USA,” which would be his biggest reason not to leave Memphis.

As usual though, we’ll leave it up to the real journalists in this country to give us the final word on the situation - or at least until we see Calipari at a press conference with an N.C. St. hat on.

(Update: Andy Katz is not the only one reporting this. Gregg Doyle from CBS SportsLine.com also says Calipari is in ’serious negotiations’ with N.C. State.)
