“First of all I want to apologize for my language at the end of the game. I got caught up in the emotion of the game, but that’s no excuse.”

“Sometimes you don’t realize in the moment that what you’re saying is on national TV. The BBN deserves better and so do my players.”

Yes. This is the first time a coach has ever sworn at a player. Anyone that took umbrage with what Cal said needs to get real and get over it. (That’s the edited version of what I want those people to do. I would have sounded more like Calipari, but I don’t need that headache anymore than he does.) Calipari recruits and wins. If you have a problem with him swearing at some one-and-done kid getting a “free education” stop following college basketball because that’s how basketball works dummy.

For what its worth, Jones scored 17 points on 5 of 13 shooting to go along with 2 assists. And he defended Calipari via Twitter.
