All coaching records have been updated for 2006-2007. Gregchilders 00:15, 25 March 2007 (UTC)
Cal's Memphis stats and win-loss records need to be updated and examined for consistency throughout the article. The stats seem to be as of the end of last year (2004-2005 season).
Stats need to be updated at the end of the season, but not during the season. Constant editing after each game doesn't serve much of a purpose.
Added additional information, including breaking down his coaching record year-by-year
John Calipari led the University of Massachusetts to a #1 seed in 1996, and Memphis in 2006.
Roy Williams led Kansas to a #1 seed in 1992, 1995, 1997, 1998, 2002, and North Carolina in 2005 and 2007.
Bill Self led Illinois to a #1 seed in 2001, and Kansas in 2005. Gregchilders 14:25, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
Only Pitino has led 3 different schools to a #1 seed. Self and Williams have done this with only 2 different schools. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.86.236.51 ( talk) 00:10, 5 April 2012 (UTC)

Laughable, and deserving of the POV tag. Crotchety Old Man ( talk) 16:46, 15 March 2009 (UTC)
John Calipari was cleared of all wrongdoing at UMass by the NCAA. Wikipedia articles should only contain factual information, and not rumors. The only sanction handed down by the NCAA to UMass during Calipari's tenure resulted from player Marcus Camby accepting money from an agent. UMass had to forfeit their 4-1 record from the 1996 NCAA Tournament, but that was it. Calipari was cleared by the NCAA, and was given no sanctions himself. Even the Wikipedia article about the UMass Minutemen mentions it. Gregchilders 23:14, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
Crotchety Old Man was the one who made the claims of impropriety with no reliable sources. He was the one to hang the POV tag. So far, he's made accusations but posted no proof. Seems to me the burden of proof is on him. As for my statements, a simple Google search can confirm the whole thing.

If the trip to the Final Four was officially removed from the records of the NCAA, it should at the very least be included on Calipari's page. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Terrapinheel ( talk • contribs) 13:27, 1 April 2009 (UTC)
Again, the NCAA Tournament records were vacated because Marcus Camby accepted money from an agent. The coach was cleared by the NCAA of any wrongdoing, but the school had to vacate the games because of the actions of the player.

The page inaccurately lists him as Kentucky's Head Coach. This has not been confirmed by anyone and only attributed to unnamed sources. The news articles linked as the source of this information clearly identifies this information as unconfirmed. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.79.131.136 ( talk) 23:50, 30 March 2009 (UTC)
The article again says he is the head coach, which is speculation, not fact as of now. Someone enjoys compromising Wikipedia's journalistic standards. In addition, as to past problems with the NCAA, Seth Davis writes today, "Calipari's past NCAA transgressions also could be problematic for a program still sensitive of its image following the recruiting scandal left behind by Eddie Sutton in the late-1980s." http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/basketball/ncaa/mens-tournament/03/30/calipari/?eref=sircrc 00:09, 31 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.236.6.102 ( talk)

It is being "reported" that he has accepted the position, that is different than "confirmed." Until Memphis, Kentucky, or Calipari confirms the story the article should continue to list him as coach of University of Memphis. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.79.131.136 ( talk) 02:51, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
Since this page declared Calipari the new coach at Kentucky, ESPN and others have repeatedly reported that Calipari was still deciding -- wanted to sleep on it, was thinking it over this afternoon, etc. Therefore, this Calipari page has been wrong since yesterday and as the page is protected a good samaritan is unable to correct it. This statement is wildly misleading: "On March 30, 2009, four days after Memphis' season ending loss to Missouri in the NCAA Tournament, it was reported that Calipari will agree to be the head coach at the University of Kentucky.[1] Calipari rejected a counter offer by Memphis for Kentucky's 6 year, $40 million contract.[2]"
Someone is reporting hopes on Wikipedia, not facts, and that diminishes Wikipedia as a valuable resource for others. My hope is that people stop abusing WP. -- 21:25, 31 March 2009 (UTC) —Preceding unsigned comment added by 71.164.100.244 ( talk)
Memphis players have confirmed the move. Contract details are still not public, won't know all that until a press conference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.140.165.68 ( talk) 23:50, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
John Calipari made several announcements this week that his new official website http://www.coachcal.com ( example 1, example 2, and example 3) - which can be verified as coming "from the horse's mouth" as the new home for his "Official Website" - I don't want to get into an edit war, but when I looked at the page today and noticed that the site was not correctly linked in the bio, I simply corrected the URL (since www.coachcalipari.com has been a dead link for quite sometime) and this is being constantly edited with attacking comments (WP: is not a crystal ball) because of the current content of the site (a countdown to the official launch time of noon Thursday, July 23, 2009.)
Regardless of the content, there has been a longstanding portion of the bio linking to a dead site with no content other than a 404 page, when the subject of the bio himself states that his official website is found at another location, what is wrong with correcting a bad link. Regardless of the content of the site - it is easy to show it is the "Official Web Site of John Calipari" WP is also not a battleground. However, what is confusing to me is the choice to remove content that is valid and verifiable because one simply doesn't like the content. Bonked ( talk) 19:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
The picture located here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Calipari.jpg was photoshopped to add in the Kentucky logos. The picture was taken while in San Jaun at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Notice current Memphis Head Coach, Josh Pastner at the far left. I propose it be removed and replaced with a non-editted photo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.147.174.141 ( talk) 22:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
This sentence confusingly refers to details that are only explained in later paragraphs, and uses confusing terminology.
He is one of only four coaches to direct two different colleges to a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament, and the only head coach to have a Final Four appearance vacated at more than one school, though Calipari himself was not personally indicted by the NCAA while coaching UMass or Memphis.
What is meant by having a Final Four appearance vacated (I figured this out via context but it is a specific enough term to deserve some kind of definition), and why are the incidents at UMass and Memphis mentioned in passing in this sentence without any prior mention in the paragraph?
165.123.183.240 ( talk) 03:07, 31 March 2010 (UTC)
Shouldn't his record reflect the current vacated records? The records listed on the page pretend they were not forfeited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elwhajeff ( talk • contribs) 21:27, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
The following was copied and pasted from User:ElKevbo's talk page for further discussion here.
Why was this photo of John Calipari removed from his article? I took this photo during a game last year. Sure, I'd love to have been fortunate enough to get a face-on shot of him cheesing for the camera, but this was what I could get with a 12x zoom from about ten to fifteen rows back on the opposite side of the court. Surely, it's better than no picture at all, and I have no idea how it violates WP:BLP as your edit summary suggests. Acdixon ( talk • contribs • count) 13:26, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
(unindent) Minor point of clarification: The photo was removed from this article, not deleted entirely. ElKevbo ( talk) 16:36, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Another editor has repeatedly removed the "Controversies" section of this article. I have reverted those removals. I do not object to editing that section, including trimming it or removing parts of it entirely. I do object to the blanket removal of the entire section since parts of it are very well-sourced and almost certainly belong in the article. So instead of deleting a large part of this article supported by reliable sources, how about those who have objections (a) edit the article more carefully instead of deleting everything and (b) discuss those objections here with other editors. ElKevbo ( talk) 18:12, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Blanket removal of most of the controversial content is a showing of bias. The definition of controversy is "a prolonged public dispute, debate, or contention; disputation concerning a matter of opinion." All of the content posted under this section fits the definition of a controversy. Both sides are of a controversy are given the opportunity to voice the opposing views. For example, someone posted the racist comment Calipari made about a Mexican-American reporter. Later, someone posted Calipari's apology for the comment. In sum, as long as both sides of the controversy are voiced then it should not be deleted. If it is one-sided, then posting the opposing view of the controversy is the appropriate response. Blanket deletion of the section is not the appropriate response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CBBfan ( talk • contribs) 22:47, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
I find it highly suspect that the two main editors arguing against the controversy section both happen to hail from the state of Kentucky, where John Calipari is now head basketball coach. It is possible that their edits may be influenced by their own personal biases. 64.134.178.193 ( talk) 03:47, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Ya know? Should we start doing that for every public figure? I guess I just don't get why Calipari's annual salary is any more relevant than anyone else's. EVERYONE has an annual salary; yet I've never seen it in a place of prominence on anyone else's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.227.77.90 ( talk) 05:29, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
As the article states, there were two violations, and either one would've caused the season to be vacated. One was the Rose SAT, and the other was Memphis giving Rose's brother free transportation. Thus, the part about it having the university not knowing is inaccurate. Enigma msg 16:44, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Why are Calipari's records for vacated games in 2007-08 listed as "0-0"? This is highly unusual and is not done for vacated games by Steve Fisher, Kevin O'Neill, Tim Floyd, or Jerry Tarkanian on those coaches' respective wiki pages. Jamesbarlow3 ( talk) 15:57, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article that I chose to edit is the Wikipedia page of John Calipari. John Calipari is a hall or fame american college basketball coach. He currently coaches at the University of Kentucky. After reading this article I am confident in saying that everything in this article is relevant. At no point was I distracted while I was reading. The article is also neutral but contains a section about controversies that aren’t extremely bias.

I think this article contains a good deal of POV content. I am thinking of things like "Since 2012, the Wildcats head coach John Calipari has been on the top of the high school basketball recruiting mountain." Or this, from the lead: "On February 23rd 2019, in an 80-53 defeat of Auburn at Rupp Arena, John Calipari won his 298th game at Kentucky, officially passing Coach Joe B. Hall to become the 2nd winningest coach in Kentucky basketball history behind only the legendary coach Adolph Rupp." I would be interested to hear any other opinions. I will try to fix as much as this as I can soon, and may add a POV tag if I feel it is still too pervasive. JEN9841 ( talk) 04:19, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
Reports indicating Calipari may soon be hired by the University of Arkansas are intensifying. I added a transaction template, but Calipari's prominence — and the fact that the reported hiring would take him to an in-conference foe — makes me wonder if autoconfirmed protection is enough.

Memphis players have confirmed the move. Contract details are still not public, won't know all that until a press conference. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 74.140.165.68 ( talk) 23:50, 31 March 2009 (UTC)
John Calipari made several announcements this week that his new official website http://www.coachcal.com ( example 1, example 2, and example 3) - which can be verified as coming "from the horse's mouth" as the new home for his "Official Website" - I don't want to get into an edit war, but when I looked at the page today and noticed that the site was not correctly linked in the bio, I simply corrected the URL (since www.coachcalipari.com has been a dead link for quite sometime) and this is being constantly edited with attacking comments (WP: is not a crystal ball) because of the current content of the site (a countdown to the official launch time of noon Thursday, July 23, 2009.)
Regardless of the content, there has been a longstanding portion of the bio linking to a dead site with no content other than a 404 page, when the subject of the bio himself states that his official website is found at another location, what is wrong with correcting a bad link. Regardless of the content of the site - it is easy to show it is the "Official Web Site of John Calipari" WP is also not a battleground. However, what is confusing to me is the choice to remove content that is valid and verifiable because one simply doesn't like the content. Bonked ( talk) 19:46, 22 July 2009 (UTC)
The picture located here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Calipari.jpg was photoshopped to add in the Kentucky logos. The picture was taken while in San Jaun at the Puerto Rico Tip-Off. Notice current Memphis Head Coach, Josh Pastner at the far left. I propose it be removed and replaced with a non-editted photo. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.147.174.141 ( talk) 22:37, 26 August 2009 (UTC)
This sentence confusingly refers to details that are only explained in later paragraphs, and uses confusing terminology.
He is one of only four coaches to direct two different colleges to a number one seed in the NCAA Tournament, and the only head coach to have a Final Four appearance vacated at more than one school, though Calipari himself was not personally indicted by the NCAA while coaching UMass or Memphis.
What is meant by having a Final Four appearance vacated (I figured this out via context but it is a specific enough term to deserve some kind of definition), and why are the incidents at UMass and Memphis mentioned in passing in this sentence without any prior mention in the paragraph?

Shouldn't his record reflect the current vacated records? The records listed on the page pretend they were not forfeited. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Elwhajeff ( talk • contribs) 21:27, 2 May 2010 (UTC)
The following was copied and pasted from User:ElKevbo's talk page for further discussion here.
Why was this photo of John Calipari removed from his article? I took this photo during a game last year. Sure, I'd love to have been fortunate enough to get a face-on shot of him cheesing for the camera, but this was what I could get with a 12x zoom from about ten to fifteen rows back on the opposite side of the court. Surely, it's better than no picture at all, and I have no idea how it violates WP:BLP as your edit summary suggests. Acdixon ( talk • contribs • count) 13:26, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
(unindent) Minor point of clarification: The photo was removed from this article, not deleted entirely. ElKevbo ( talk) 16:36, 28 September 2010 (UTC)
Another editor has repeatedly removed the "Controversies" section of this article. I have reverted those removals. I do not object to editing that section, including trimming it or removing parts of it entirely. I do object to the blanket removal of the entire section since parts of it are very well-sourced and almost certainly belong in the article. So instead of deleting a large part of this article supported by reliable sources, how about those who have objections (a) edit the article more carefully instead of deleting everything and (b) discuss those objections here with other editors. ElKevbo ( talk) 18:12, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
Blanket removal of most of the controversial content is a showing of bias. The definition of controversy is "a prolonged public dispute, debate, or contention; disputation concerning a matter of opinion." All of the content posted under this section fits the definition of a controversy. Both sides are of a controversy are given the opportunity to voice the opposing views. For example, someone posted the racist comment Calipari made about a Mexican-American reporter. Later, someone posted Calipari's apology for the comment. In sum, as long as both sides of the controversy are voiced then it should not be deleted. If it is one-sided, then posting the opposing view of the controversy is the appropriate response. Blanket deletion of the section is not the appropriate response. — Preceding unsigned comment added by CBBfan ( talk • contribs) 22:47, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
I find it highly suspect that the two main editors arguing against the controversy section both happen to hail from the state of Kentucky, where John Calipari is now head basketball coach. It is possible that their edits may be influenced by their own personal biases. 64.134.178.193 ( talk) 03:47, 2 March 2012 (UTC)
Ya know? Should we start doing that for every public figure? I guess I just don't get why Calipari's annual salary is any more relevant than anyone else's. EVERYONE has an annual salary; yet I've never seen it in a place of prominence on anyone else's page. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.227.77.90 ( talk) 05:29, 13 March 2012 (UTC)
As the article states, there were two violations, and either one would've caused the season to be vacated. One was the Rose SAT, and the other was Memphis giving Rose's brother free transportation. Thus, the part about it having the university not knowing is inaccurate. Enigma msg 16:44, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
Why are Calipari's records for vacated games in 2007-08 listed as "0-0"? This is highly unusual and is not done for vacated games by Steve Fisher, Kevin O'Neill, Tim Floyd, or Jerry Tarkanian on those coaches' respective wiki pages. Jamesbarlow3 ( talk) 15:57, 8 May 2012 (UTC)

The Wikipedia article that I chose to edit is the Wikipedia page of John Calipari. John Calipari is a hall or fame american college basketball coach. He currently coaches at the University of Kentucky. After reading this article I am confident in saying that everything in this article is relevant. At no point was I distracted while I was reading. The article is also neutral but contains a section about controversies that aren’t extremely bias.

I think this article contains a good deal of POV content. I am thinking of things like "Since 2012, the Wildcats head coach John Calipari has been on the top of the high school basketball recruiting mountain." Or this, from the lead: "On February 23rd 2019, in an 80-53 defeat of Auburn at Rupp Arena, John Calipari won his 298th game at Kentucky, officially passing Coach Joe B. Hall to become the 2nd winningest coach in Kentucky basketball history behind only the legendary coach Adolph Rupp." I would be interested to hear any other opinions. I will try to fix as much as this as I can soon, and may add a POV tag if I feel it is still too pervasive. JEN9841 ( talk) 04:19, 19 March 2019 (UTC)
Reports indicating Calipari may soon be hired by the University of Arkansas are intensifying. I added a transaction template, but Calipari's prominence — and the fact that the reported hiring would take him to an in-conference foe — makes me wonder if autoconfirmed protection is enough.
