Watch: Reporter checks Kentucky Wildcats’ John Calipari during FBI investigation question

Kentucky Wildcats’ John Calipari wanted to avoid answering questions about the FBI investigation during a media day, and one reporter let him have it.

The FBI investigation that has rocked college basketball continues to heat up in the past few days, and it has quickly become the No. 1 thing on every college basketball fan’s mind.

As we approach the 2017-18 college basketball season, the media will have more access to coaches and will begin asking questions about it.

However, no one could have predicted what happened when one reporter, Jerry Tipton, asked Kentucky Wildcats’ Coach John Calipari about the FBI Investigation:

I understand why Calipari wants to avoid any type of questioning about the FBI investigation, as the college basketball season is quickly approaching and any type of distraction could be absolutely devastating to the mentality of a young team.

However, Tipton makes a fantastic point when he says that he has the right to ask it even if Calipari refuses to answer. Because, well, it technically is a “media day, not coach day.”

Would I talk that way to John Calipari? No. Even when I was a college student and we shouted chants making fun of coaches, we never shouted them at Coach Cal. Kevin Stallings? Yes. Coach Cal? No. There’s a line of respect towards a coach with that level of success,

But, if I was a member of the Kentucky media and had to deal with deflections in the midst of a massive, all-of-college-basketball-encompassing scandal, I would get frustrated, too.

Either way, the video is amazing and hilarious, and I love it when media members fight back.
