from Lexington Herald-Leader...
Coach John Calipari made it clear Wednesday that he loves Kentucky and is interested in a long-term contract extension, but that he's not in search of a raise.
"I said I didn't want the compensation to change," Calipari said, relaying his conversation with UK Athletics Director Mitch Barnhart, in an audio tweet on Lexy.com. "I'm doing fine."
In the audio tweet recorded around noon, Calipari said that Barnhart approached him about 10 days ago saying, "Cal, I want to extend your contract. I want you to be here until you retire," according to Calipari.
In a statement released through UK on Tuesday night, Barnhart did express interest in retaining Calipari for an extended period.
"We have begun initial discussions on restructuring his contract so that he's the coach at Kentucky until he retires," the statement said.
