Has John Calipari been able to reflect on the honor in the months since it was announced he would be inducted into the Hall of Fame?
Kentucky coach John Calipari: "I haven't, but it's funny. All my friends and some Hall of Famers who are friends say you don't realize until you walk in there and you're on that stage. Then it hits you. Like, 'What just happened?' I've had to -- I've worked on a speech more than I've ever worked on any speech ever. Not for the sake of the speech. For time. This isn't just my night. There are 10 other people other than myself. So you don't want to -- so everything I'm doing, every time I come in is, 'How short can we make this and hit what we need to hit?' We've taken down a few trees trying to get this thing. Believe me. Eric and Metz are laughing, but believe me I've changed it 6,000 times to just keep shortening and shortening and shortening. I don't want to -- Let's put it this way: I don't want to be that guy."
