Is anyone else out there tired of listening to Memphis coach John Calipari whine about the lack of respect his team is getting? It seems every time he speaks publicly — conference call, radio interview or television interview — he is bemoaning the lack of respect his team is getting.
Here’s what he said about Memphis’ poor free throw shooting, and the media writing about how Memphis ranked 326th out of 328 heading into last week’s games.
”When all the pundits were picking us to lose like every game we played and focusing on one area of our basketball team, and focusing to the point of ridiculous, it just got to them a little bit,” Calipari said. “Now, I laugh about it, and say, ‘You know, youre helping us and if you want to continue to help us, keep doing it.’ ”
