John Calipari confirmed Tuesday afternoon in a video posted to X, formerly Twitter, that he will 'step away' from the University of Kentucky. Calipari joined the Wildcats in 2009 after spending nine seasons with Memphis. 'Since our season ended, Ellen and I have spent a lot of time thinking about our time here at Kentucky — what it means to us, the friends we've made on that court. Regional championships. Conference championships. Final Fours.
In his video, Calipari thanked the families of his players, the staff and the fans for 'all that you've done to build this program.' 'Those memories and what we were able to do together is what this is all about. Again, it's been a dream. What we've been able to do. Fifteen years, time for another voice. And you know I'm always going to be a fan,' he concluded. With Kentucky, Calipari made the NCAA Tournament all but two seasons.
Calipari went 410-122 with the Wildcats. Overall, he is 813-260 . Follow Fox News Digital’s sports coverage on X, and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.
