Rex Chapman Tweets that Coach Cal with Leave Kentucky, Win or Lose, for the Lakers

Rex Chapman, an ex-Kentucky standout and NBA player, tweeted out on Monday before the National Championship game that win or lose, John Calipari will leave to be the Lakers head coach next year. Calipari has said several times that the Wildcats’ head coaching job is the best job in the country, but a chance to be Kobe Bryant’s coach in possibly his final NBA season and rebuild with a high draft pick and a Pau Gasol trade, coupled with a huge salary may be too hard to turn down. Here’s the tweet:
