Calipari is famous for popularizing the movement of the dribbling movement, developed by Vance Walberg, who is sometimes known as the Memphis Attack . Calipari is a published author with several titles for his credit, including Bounce Back: Overcoming Setbacks for Success in Business and in Life and First Players: Outside Coaching. . In addition, Calipari starred in 30 for 30 documentary films from ESPN "One and No Finish" detailing his professional career.
In his 22 official seasons (23 seasons overall) as head coach of college, Calipari's record is 667-194 (.775). His entry in March was 107-37 (.743). Its adjusted NCAA (note two appearances removed) official note in the NCAA tournament is 38-12 (0.760), and at NIT is 15-6 (0.714). His team has made 15 NCAA tournament appearances (13 official, due 2 later emptied), including reaching Sweet Sixteen 12 times (10 officially, since 2 then emptied), Elite Eight 10 times (8 official, due 2 later emptied), Final Four 6 (4 officially, since 2 later emptied), NCAA Championship Game 3 times (twice officially, with 2008 2008 Championship Game performance in Memphis vacated by NCAA), win the NCAA Championship in Kentucky in 2012, and finish NCAA Runner Up on year 2014.

He is one of only four trainers in the history of the NCAA Division I to direct three different schools to the # 1 seed in the NCAA Tournament.
University of Massachusetts
From 1988 to 1996 at UMass, Calipari led the Minutemen's five successive titles at Atlantic 10 and the NCAA Tournament, including the period in which the program was ranked first nationally. He finished with a 193-71 record overall, with a 91-41 record in 10 Atlantic Conference matches. Calipari was named Atlantic 10 Coach of the Year in 1992, 1993, and 1996. He is also named Naismith, NABC, Basketball Times & amp; Sports News National Trainer of the Year in 1996. He leads UMass to his first appearance in the Final Four with the winning game of John R. Wooden Award and Naismith National Player of the Year Marcus Camby, although this performance was later vacated by NCAA because Camby has received about $ 28,000 from two sports agents that lured him to include the NBA draft after his sophomore season.
Calipari helps speed up the construction of the Mullins Center, the basketball and hockey facilities of UMass. He also reached east of Massachusetts and Boston to enlarge his fan base. Before moving to the New Jersey Nets, Calipari became the second winning coach in UMass history behind Jack Leaman.
In February 2010, Pat Forde, at the time of the regular college column sports writer called "Forde Minutes" for ESPN.com , recalled the 1992 team:
Calipari's greatest strength as a coach is his ability to create team playing together. His Massachusetts team in 1992 remained one of the most surpassed units the The Minutes had ever seen, featuring a very limited range shooting guard, he made one pointer throughout the season (Jim McCoy), 6 feet-3 forward (Will Herndon), and a left-handed center that stood 6-7 (Harper Williams). Somehow, the marginal talent collection reaches 30-5 and continues into the NCAA Sweet 16.
In 16 Sweet matches with Kentucky in 1992, Lenny Wirtz officially issued Calipari a controversial technical offense for being out of the coach box for a crucial UMass possession. Kentucky went on to face Duke in the next round in one of the biggest matches in college basketball history, winning in last-second shots by Christian Laettner.
In 1993, UMass defeated the reigning champions NCAA and pre-season # 1 North Carolina at the pre-season NIT at Madison Square Garden. The next year # 3 UMass defeated the reigning champions NCAA and # 1 Arkansas in the classic Tip-Off Hall of Fame, which resulted in UMass being the first New England college basketball team to be voted # 1 in an Associated Press poll.
During his Calipari tenure at UMass, the program became one of the most dominant in college basketball even though it only recruited one McDonald's All-American (Donta Bright) and only had two players composed by the NBA team (Lou Roe and Marcus Camby). Forde remembers the Final Four team in UMass's last season at Calipari in 1995-96 as a squad "with one superstar (Marcus Camby) and a collection of complementary parts". By winning both the regular season championship and the Atlantic conference tournament from 1992 to 1996, UMass became the second team in college basketball history to win 5 consecutive regular seasons and conference tournament tournaments (NC State is the first.)
New Jersey Nets
In the 1996-97 season, John Calipari replaced Butch Beard as head coach of the New Jersey Nets. After the 26-56 season debut, the Nets made a draft-day trade in June 1997, earning Keith Van Horn, Lucious Harris and two other players for Tim Thomas.
The 1997-98 season was a bright spot for the Nets in the late 1990s. The team played well under Calipari, winning 43 games and qualifying for the playoffs on the final day of the season. The Nets are seeded in the Eastern Conference and lost to the Chicago Bulls in the 1998 playoffs in three straight games.
The 1998-99 season was delayed for three months due to locking of the player owner. When the 50-match shortened season begins, the Nets are preferred by experts as a surprise team. However, Sam Cassell was injured in the first game and the team started badly. With the Nets performing at 3-15, the Nets sold Cassell to the Milwaukee Bucks, while the Nets acquired Stephon Marbury of the Minnesota Timberwolves. After two more defeats, Calipari was fired as head coach with the team at 3-17. He completed his tenure with an overall record of 72 wins and 112 losses, and an overall winning percentage of 0.391. He later joined Larry Brown as an assistant coach for the Philadelphia 76ers.
University of Memphis
Calipari became head coach at the University of Memphis from 2000-01. In the first nine years of Kalipari as head coach in Memphis, he won 214 games (38 vacated victories), recorded seven seasons of 20 successive wins, plus one in his final season (including a NCAA record of four consecutive 30-wins, emptied and this record is no longer valid) and earned seven consecutive postseason bids (plus one in his final season). His 38-team win in 2007-08 set a new NCAA Division I Men's Basketball record for most wins in a season, a record that now belongs to the Kentucky Wildcats 2011-2012 due to a violation of the NCAA that cleared all of Memphis's victories. Nine consecutive seasons of 20-wins and nine consecutive postseason appearances will be the ultimate in school history, though that is officially standing now in seven as the 2007-08 season emptied. He was named US Conference Coach of 2006, 2008, and 2009. In 2008, he was named Best Coach of Naismith College of the Year, receiving his honor a second time. In 2009, he was named Sports Basketball Coach of Sport Performance this Year.
He built a national program by recruiting blue chip players from the Eastern part of the country, such as Wagner's Progress from Camden (NJ), Darius Washington Jr. from Orlando (FL), Rodney Carney from Indianapolis (IN), Shawne Williams from Memphis (TN), Joey Dorsey from Baltimore (MD), Chris Douglas-Roberts from Detroit (MI), Antonio Anderson from Lynn (MA), Robert Dozier from Lithonia (GA), Derrick Rose from Chicago (IL), and Tyreke Evans from Aston (PA).
While in Memphis, Calipari popularized the movement of the dribbling movement created by former basketball coach Pepperdine, Vance Walberg.
On January 21, 2008, Calipari led Tiger to No. 1 in AP Poll for the second time in school history.
In 2006 and 2008, Memphis won No. 1. 1 in the NCAA men's basketball tournament. In 2008, Calipari's Tiger advanced to the national championship game, the first under his leadership. They also won 38 matches, regular season wins in NCAA history (the 2011-12 Kentucky team will also continue to win 38 games). His team, however, will lose to Kansas Jayhawks, 75-68, in extra-time. The team then has a season record vacated by the NCAA because ETS cancels SAT Derrick Rose. Nevertheless, Rose still denied wrongdoing. The NCAA began investigating tests and contacting ETS. As the NCAA began to investigate, ETS decided to review the tests. ETS sent three letters to the address of the former Rose family in Chicago (not his dorm in Memphis) to ask Rose to verify some information in his exam. Since he did not reply to the letters, ETS canceled his SAT. This was despite the NCAA investigating and reporting that they could not find any significant evidence to prove that Rose had not taken the test. Because the ETS has canceled the test, the NCAA retroactively states that Rose is not eligible. To this day, the official position of the NCAA is that Rose did take on the SAT himself. If it was not for the emptied victory, Calipari would be the most winning coach in Tiger history, as he would have 252 victories for Larry Finch 220.
University of Kentucky
On March 30, 2009, four days after the end of the Memphis season to Missouri at the NCAA Tournament, some sources reported that Calipari would agree to become head coach at the University of Kentucky, after British head coach Billy Gillispie was fired after two unsuccessful seasons. school. Calipari turned down a counter-offer from Memphis for an 8-year, $ 31.65 million Kentucky contract.

During the press conference, Calipari spoke at length about his relationship with former basketball and English trainers, and also in his difficulty in accepting jobs in England, largely because of his deep emotional ties to the city of Memphis and the University of Memphis. Calipari stated, "Coming to England is the easy part, leaving the city of Memphis is a difficult part." He went on to refer to the coaching position of the University of Kentucky as "his dream job". Calipari became 22nd overall coach in Kentucky, and only the seventh coach in the last 79 years for the Wildcats.
2009-10
In his first year as head coach, Calipari has a highly praised recruitment class, including No. 1 John Wall recruitment, plus 5 star recruits, DeMarcus Cousins, Eric Bledsoe and Daniel Orton. On December 21, 2009, Calipari led the Cat to their 12th win of the season and the 2,000th victory of the program. Kentucky won the 44th SEC Spring Championship in 2009-10, with a 14-2 conference record. Tim Calipari followed up this with the 26th SEC Tournament Championships in the UK, with overtime defeat from the State of Mississippi, 75-74, in SEC Tournament. In the NCAA Tournament, however, the No. 1 seed of Kentucky (Eastern Region) was angered by West Virginia at Elite 8, to finish the season at 35-3.
2010-11
In his second season in Kentucky, Calipari recruited the No. 1 point guard. 1 in the 2010 class, Brandon Knight. In addition to Knight, Calipari also signed two other 5 star recruits, Terrence Jones and Doron Lamb.

In the Final Four, England crashed into the NCAA Champions UConn with one point, 56-55, ending with a final record of 29-9.
2011-12
In this third season, Kentucky landed another No. 1 recruiting class with four consensus five-star players: Anthony Davis, Marquis Teague, Michael Kidd-Gilchrist and Kyle Wiltjer. Kentucky came into the # 1 ranking season in the country. They finished the regular season with a 30-1 record, their only defeat to Indiana by buzzer-beater and went 16-0 in a conference game. In the SEC tournament, Kentucky lost the championship game to Vanderbilt 71-64.

Thus, John Calipari became the fifth head coach to win the NCAA Championships in Kentucky (NCAA record), and the first trainer to do so at school since Tubby Smith in 1998.
After the 2012 championship, UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart announced on May 4 that the Calipari contract has been renegotiated. Under the new contract, Calipari will earn up to $ 8.0 million per annum (excluding bonuses), which subsequently earns its status as one of the most highly compensated college basketball coaches in the country. Mike Krzyzewski, coach of the Duke University team, leads the NCAA with an annual salary of $ 9.8 million.

Controversy
Marcus Camby
UMass had a NCAA Tournament 4-1 1996 record vacated when the NCAA found out that UMass player Marcus Camby had received cash and $ 40,000 prizes reported from outside agents without connecting to the program.
Humiliation addressed to journalist
In 1997, while coaching the New Jersey Nets, Calipari directed the indecency in sports reporter Dan Garcia and named him a "Mexican idiot". Garcia sued $ 5,000,000 for emotional distress. Although the case was rejected and Calipari apologized for his statement, he is still fined $ 25,000 by the NBA.
Derrick Rose
The NCAA investigated allegations that a player on the 2007-08 University of Memphis team committed "knowing fraud or error in relation to its admission exam" and having an unknown individual complete the SAT exam. The NCAA told Calipari in a letter that he was not considered "risky" in this investigation. The player was identified as Derrick Rose. Furthermore, allegations arose that Rose's brother, Reggie, was allowed to travel to Tiger street games for free.
On August 20, 2009, the NCAA ruled that Rose was not eligible and forced Memphis to vacate the entire 2007-08 season, including the NCAA Tournament and his position as runner-up. It required a line that since the SAT Rose score had been canceled by the Educational Testing Service, which administers the SAT, the strict obligation required Rose to be ineligible even though Memphis officials did not know at the time that Rose was ineligible. The committee also ruled that even without question about the SAT score, Rose would lose its eligibility in December 2007 because her brother was allowed to travel with the team for free.
On October 7, 2011, Memphis Commercial-Appeal reported that on May 28, 2010, John Calipari, Derrick Rose, and the athletic director of the University of Memphis, R.C. Johnson reached $ 100,000 out of court with three lawyers representing seasonal Memphis ticket holders and threatened a lawsuit over the vacant 2007-08 season. Also as part of the settlement, Calipari donated a nearly $ 232,000 bonus to the Memphis scholarship fund.
Overall victory
On February 26, 2011, after Kentucky defeated the Florida Gators at Rupp Arena, Calipari was recognized for his 500th career victory as the men's Division I basketball coach. Over the next few months, the NCAA Committee on Breach (COI) and the University of Kentucky exchanged letters debating whether Calipari had achieved a 500-won victory milestone. Since the game was vacated by the NCAA in two different seasons (the 1996 season at UMass and the 2008 season in Memphis), the NCAA only officially recognizes the Calipari 500th win of all time on March 15, 2012.
