Calipari Has Kind Words For Pelphrey

When it comes to Arkansas basketball fans, John Calipari’s opinion probably matters very little. But for beleaguered head coach John Pelphrey, his rival’s words after last night’s 77-76 Hog win are no doubt appreciated.

“Any time you’re up against it like Arkansas was, to compete the way they did it says a lot about their team and a lot about their coach,” Calipari said. “I thought John coached a great game and his guys responded.”

Nice words. But when the coach’s detractors run them through the Rabid-Razorback-Anti-Pelphrey Translator, they’ll probably hear this instead: “Please don’t fire this guy, Arkansas, ’cause I can usually beat him.”

Kudos to Pelphrey. Talk about a guy who needed a big win. He deserves another season in Fayetteville to show what he can do.
