Calipari Close to Complete Staff Hirings
John Calipari already lured one assistant from a marquee program.
Now he’s trying to get another.
Sources with knowledge of the situation have told CBSSports.com that Calipari is considering completing his staff — now missing Derek Kellogg (new head coach at UMass) and Chuck Martin (new head coach at Marist) — by hiring from a group of candidates that is headlined by Pittsburgh assistant Orlando Antigua and Georgetown assistant David Cox. If Calipari gets his way, one of those two will likely join John Robic and Josh Pastner on the Memphis bench next season.
Pastner is coming to Memphis from Arizona.
That move should be made official this week.
