John Calipari wrote Monday that he plans for his coaching career to end at Kentucky, where he wants to put the men’s basketball program on track for surpassing UCLA’s record of 11 national championships.

“How long can I coach here? My plan is to coach here for the rest of my career,” Calipari wrote in a posting on his CoachCal.com website Monday. “I want this to be my final coaching position.”

“I never thought I would coach until the age of 60,” Calipari said in the posting. “I said that from the day I got here back in 2009. But now that I’m here and I’m entering my eighth season — how crazy is that?! — one thing has become very clear to me: I’ve gone from the business of basketball to the business of helping families. That’s not just a fancy line used on a recruiting pitch. That’s the truth. That’s why I’m here and that’s what’s allowed me to do this. As long as I feel like I can continue to help families, why not keep going?”
