Calipari’s Statement after Anonymous Coaches Criticized Players

Champions Classic

Earlier today, a story by The Athletic’s Sam Vecenie got a lot of attention.

Vecenie interviewed assistant coaches that faced Kentucky last season and asked for their thoughts on Tyrese Maxey, Nick Richards, Immanuel Quickley, EJ Montgomery, and Ashton Hagans.

The coaches, who are anonymous in the piece, didn’t have great things to say, especially about Ashton Hagans. One coach called Hagans “trash” (as a player).

John Calipari released a statement defending his players.
