Kentucky Coach John Calipari said Wednesday he's interested in more NCAA championships for UK — and not in any NBA jobs.
Calipari told ESPN that he isn't going to coach the New York Knicks or any other NBA franchise for the foreseeable future.
"Kentucky is the best job in basketball coaching," Calipari said. "Why would I leave? We just won the national title. We're chasing UCLA.
"... I've made statements that I've got the best job in basketball and I'm not going to change my lifestyle. I'm not leaving.
Kentucky's win over Kansas on Monday night gave the school eight national men's basketball titles, three short of UCLA's all-time record of 11.
Calipari said no NBA team has contacted him about an opening, including the Knicks, which are being coached by Mike Woodson on an interim basis after Mike D'Antoni resigned.
