The Kentucky Wildcats are hiring Illinois assistants Orlando Antigua and Ron “Chin” Coleman to join John Calipari’s coaching staff, the school announced Thursday.
Antigua, who was part of Calipari’s original staff that came to Lexington in 2009, was instrumental in the success of Kentucky basketball. To give you an idea of how massive of a hire this could turn out to be, Kentucky has not been to a Final Four since 2015, one year after Antigua left town.
Most of Kentucky’s teams since then have not met expectations (I legitimately think the 2020 Final Four was very possible). And Calipari continues to lose out on top-five recruits, something that was seemingly unheard of when Antigua resided in Lexington.
Something needed to change, and Kentucky is making a big splash by reuniting Antigua with Calipari.
