This is what I saw on Facebook from a mother that tragically lost a young child. Regardless of what you think our basketball team was doing, Cal was a caring individual and did a lot for our state. Sometimes you just need to be a nice human being.
John Calipari was one of the first people to reach out to Adam and me following Eli’s accident. We have no connection to him and even wondered how he got Adam’s phone number. He didn’t just call once. At Adam’s request, Cal called Adam’s special care brother to talk basketball. He texted periodically for months to remind us he was remembering and praying for our family. He sent us a kind package in the mail. He didn’t have to do anything, but he did. He did this in the quiet, remembering Eli, because he wanted to.
I have been disappointed by the Cal hate posts, awful memes, and good riddance rants. I wish UK basketball was my biggest problem. This is a human being. I can’t imagine seeing terrible things written about my dad, husband, brother, or son. Treat others with dignity and respect just as you would want others to give you grace and mercy. You can want a person to move on, but you don’t have to be an absolutely awful person to make your case.
Thank you, John Calipari. I wish you all the best.
