LEXINGTON – An emerging pattern in John Calipari’s public personality over the past five years may not necessarily be a giant leap to take logically, but here goes: When his teams are winning, he lights up.

He’s been dominant at times, absent at others, alternating at random between brilliant and stubborn (and sometimes both). He’s been at his best when […]
