Rick Pitino wants Kentucky to treat John Calipari like one of their own when he returns this week.
Calipari will return to Rupp Arena for the first time since he left Kentucky to become the head coach at Arkansas in April of last year. He departed after 15 seasons in charge of the Wildcats, which included a 410-123 (.769) record, four Final Four appearances, six SEC titles, and a national championship in 2012. Pitino, himself a legendary Kentucky coach, believes Calipari should be welcomed back with a big ovation.
