Memphis fans are pissed the school is honoring John Calipari

Will be honoring Hall of Fame coach @UKCoachCalipari in Memphis, Dec 28-29. Stay tuned for details. Will be a great homecoming.

@UofMemphisPres @UKCoachCalipari u know I am a big supporter of everything you've done, but this is a HUGE mistake & will reopen old wounds.

@UofMemphisPres Please tell me you're joking.

@UofMemphisPres Dr. Rudd, with all due respect, this will not go well.

Not a good idea. The man did not do right by our University or this city
