They may be close off the court but on the court they will both be doing everything they can to beat each other. Then when the game is over they will shake hands and life goes on. ![[Smile]](smile.gif)
When Kentucky goes against UCLA this afternoon in Chicago, coach John Calipari will be facing another friend, UCLA coach Steve Alford.
“I’ve known him for years and years. We’ve become close, but I knew him when he was at Southwest Missouri State,” Calipari said. “I did things for him.
“My wife grew up an hour and a half from there on a dirt farm. You guys didn’t catch that. That’s what I told her, she grew up on a dirt farm.
“He and I have been close. When he went to Iowa, I think we played. They beat us when I was at Memphis, one of my first years. But he’s a terrific coach, just a great guy. Great family. Tanya’s a great lady. His kids are great kids.
“And he now has that opportunity to be there in that job, which is one of the premier jobs.”

Cal has many friends in the coaching ranks these days. Almost like professional wrestling. You fight during the fight then go out for a beer afterwards!
