LEXINGTON, Ky. – During Thursday's media day, Kentucky basketball coach John Calipari said he would be open to possibly appearing on Rick Pitino's new podcast.
But don't expect Pitino — the ex-Louisville coach — at any Kentucky practices in the near future.
While Calipari said he has spoken with Pitino a couple of times since Pitino was fired by Louisville, the longtime coaching rivals will not be reuniting for one of Pitino's new speaking engagements with college basketball teams.
"Probably wouldn’t have him come talk to the team based on it would put North Korea on the backburner," Calipari said with a laugh. "Let me just say that."
Calipari was also asked Thursday whether he had been scheduled to appear on Pitino's podcast. Calipari said he has not but would probably be open to the idea. It would be returning a favor, since Pitino appeared on Calipari's now-defunct podcast in January 2017.
