On Thursday news came out that Brad Calipari, son of Kentucky head coach John Calipari, entered his name into the NCAA transfer portal. It was also revealed, by his sister, that he didn’t inform the entire family of the move ahead of time.
John later addressed the move and says he talked with his son about “keeping his options open to play more.” He then added that he wants his son to be happy before admitting it’s hard to get minutes at Kentucky, even if you’re the coach’s son.
We talked about the transfer portal and putting his name out there. He didn’t think – nor did I – that putting his name out there would go crazy. We honestly didn’t think anyone would notice. But at the end of the day, I want my son to be happy.

If he decides to leave, I know our fans will continue to root for him. And if he decides to come back, I’ll soak in every moment to coach my son.
I love all my players – I just love Brad a little more.

You can respect that. John is going to put the best players on the floor and just because you’re the coach’s son it doesn’t make you one of the best players.
