Auburn's coach considers Calipari friend and mentor

As John Calipari prepared to speak to reporters in the Craft Center on Monday, Auburn Coach Tony Barbee walked by on his way to Kentucky's practice.

Huh?

Isn't Kentucky playing Auburn on Tuesday night?

"I told him he's welcome to stay," Calipari said. "It seems like we're running about the same thing. It's not like we're going to confuse him."

Barbee stayed for less than an hour. Then he had to leave to get to Auburn's practice later in the afternoon.
