Calipari turned down rumors on Bulls

Calipari denied interest in Bulls coaching position, posting on his Facebook page: “Every year you will hear my named mentioned for NBA jobs because I coached in the league before. I’m very happy at Kentucky.”

He also told ESPN’s Andy Katz that he had no interest in the job.
Calipari’s eight-year, $31.65 million deal is already the richest in men’s college basketball. Yet Kentucky AD Mitch Barnhart said he is working on a contract extension for Calipari.

“We have begun initial discussions on restructuring his contract so that he’s the coach at Kentucky until he retires,” Barnhart said in a statement.
