Calipari: 'Not interested' in vacant Pelicans coaching job (Yahoo Sports)

John Calipari says he's not interested in the New Orleans Pelicans' coaching job and is happy at Kentucky. The Pelicans fired Monty Williams a week ago and the team's NBA roster features former Kentucky star Anthony Davis and Tyreke Evans, who played for Calipari at Memphis. Calipari said in a statement issued Tuesday by the school that, ''Even though Anthony and Tyreke are in New Orleans, I have no interest in coaching the Pelicans or any other coaching position.'' A person close to the situation said last week that Calipari and Kentucky are negotiating a one-year contract extension through 2022 that would pay him $54 million over seven years.
