Rick Bozich: Announcement of Calipari could come as late as Thursday

Rick Bozich just updated his blog, saying things are still looking good on the John Calipari front, but that an announcement of the move if it happens (I refuse to jinx this thing) could come later than we are anticipating (and hoping for):

*All systems remain go on bringing John Calipari from Memphis to Kentucky as the Wildcats’ new basketball coach. Folks from UK did indeed have a productive 3 1/2 hour meeting with Calipari yesterday.

Word is that Kentucky has received an all-clear from the NCAA as well as from the Southeastern Conference to hire Calipari, if an agreement can be reached. The two sides are still negotiating.

I’ve been told the earliest a new coach will be announced is tomorrow — and it might be Wednesday or Thursday.

Part of me says “as long as the deal gets done, I’ll be ecstatic”, but another part of me wonders if I can survive another 48 hours of this. I think the “I’ll be ecstatic” part will win out, but if it stretches out and I mysteriously quit posting, you need to be worried about me.
