LEXINGTON, Ky. — John Calipari says he has some things he wants to discuss with Mitch Barnhart. One thing in particular. The Kentucky basketball coach says he wants to talk to the UK athletics director about a facilities upgrade.
Last month, Calipari told Dan Issel and Mike Pratt on their Louisville radio show that executives from Major League Baseball’s Philadelphia Phillies had visited the UK sports complex. They were wowed by the new baseball stadium. They were impressed by the soccer and softball stadiums. They loved the new football training facility. As for basketball, well, they were expecting more.
During the SEC spring meetings last week in Destin, Fla., the UK coach repeated the same refrain on the SEC Network’s Paul Finebaum Show.
