Coach Cal Records His New Book at Dynamix
“Bounce Back,” written by John Calipari and David Scott, gives guidance to individuals that suffer setbacks in business and life. The book chronicles Coach Calipari’s own very public setbacks, like his firing as the New Jersey Nets coach, or the Memphis Tiger’s loss in the final minutes of the 2008 NCAA Basketball Championship game. Calipari offers insights on how he “bounced back.”
Coach Cal, as he is affectionately known by basketball fans, is the hottest news in college basketball right now. Having signed a multi-year contract with the UK Wildcats, he is the highest-paid college basketball coach up to this time. He’s had a similar distinction before. When he was hired as the New Jersey Nets head basketball coach in 1996, he was the highest-paid NBA coach up to that time.
