VIDEO: John Calipari Got Tossed for Going Nuts During Kentucky-Arkansas and Dick Vitale's Commentary Was Gold
By Thomas Carannante
We're in the middle of a heated SEC battle between the Kentucky Wildcats and Arkansas Razorbacks and it all finally boiled over. UK head coach John Calipari was livid with the officiating after he felt the refs missed a blocking foul on Arkansas, but his reaction is now costing the Wildcats. Coach Cal was T'ed up and ejected. While this was a tough watch for UK fans, Bud Walton Arena went NUTS and Dick Vitale's commentary when the whole thing went down was absolutely hilarious.

"Calm down, John! Calm down! ... He's out!" Could we have asked for a better buildup? Just watch the reaction from all the Arkansas fans:

Now Kentucky finds itself in a world of trouble without Coach Cal in a tightly-contested game on the road. After coming off a loss against South Carolina, this is not what Calipari had in mind in terms of a bounceback performance.
