Yesterday, Kentucky officially introduced John Calipari as its new mens basketball coach. Calipari comes from Memphis where he led the Tigers to the national title game last season, and a Sweet 16 appearance this year.
Is anyone worried that Calipari, while certainly winning A LOT of games, hasn't really done so in a "major conference". Lets face it, the Conference USA that Memphis has dominated the last few years was an absolute joke, and at UMASS, the Atlantic 10 wasn't exactly the most intimidating field.
Certainly, the SEC has been down for the last couple of seasons, and Calipari may be able to take Kentucky back to the top of a weakened conference next season. But the SEC won't be down for long. In the long run, can Calipari dominate the SEC the way he dominated Conference-USA?
