Rick Pitino, John Calipari Both Say Tom Crean Will Get Another Job
INDIANAPOLIS — Kentucky coach John Calipari and Louisville coach Rick Pitino both supported Tom Crean after he was fired by Indiana on Thursday and both said he would land another job down the road.
“In this profession, you’re hired and you’re fired, that’s the two things that happen,” Calipari said on the eve of his No. 2-seeded Wildcats facing No. 15 Northern Kentucky at Bankers Life Fieldhouse. “Whether I think it’s right or not, I’m just disappointed for him and his family.
“But let me say this, someone will hire him because he’s Tom Crean, he works, [has] great integrity. So ther will be a job and if he wants to take it he’ll take it. And if not he’ll sit out and do what I did, I became the best amateur golfer in the country for about six months.”
