Seattle coach praises Kentucky

Published by jtipton on November 4, 2007 in UK opponents.

Despite his team losing, Seattle Coach Joe Callero lavished praise on Kentucky.

“I want to thank everybody in the state of Kentucky for the hospitality we received,” Callero said after Saturday night’s 82-63 loss to UK. “This is so special.

“We are a good Catholic school, and this i s the Vatican of basketball. Lexington is Rome and Kentucky is frickin’ all of Italy.”
