Since John Calipari took the reins of Kentucky mens basketball in 2009, he has led the Cats to 41 NCAA Tournament games and four Final Fours.
A lot has changed since Calipari’s first NCAA Tournament game with Kentucky in New Orleans in 2010. Just take a look at the color of Calipari’s hair or the length of those shorts.
Until recently, though, one thing hadn’t changed: Calipari’s ‘fit. In his past 40 March Madness games, Calipari has sported a suit as he takes the Cats dancing in March. He ended his own tradition in Greensboro on Friday, March 16, when he swapped the formal wear for his new look: a blue Kentucky quarter zip.
