John Vincent Calipari (born February 10, 1959) is an American college basketball coach. Since 2009, he has been the head coach at the University of Kentucky. Calipari was the previously the head coach at the University of Memphis (2000-2009) and the University of Massachusetts (1988-1996). He was also the head coach of the National Basketball Association's New Jersey Nets (1996-1999) and the Dominican Republic national basketball team in 2011 and 2012.
Calipari has been to six (four official) Final Fours, four with Kentucky (2011-2012, 2014-2015). He had previously led UMass in 1996 and Memphis in 2008 to the Final Four, but those appearances were later vacated. However, Calipari himself was not personally implicated by the NCAA in the Memphis case. Calipari is the only head coach to have Final Four appearances vacated at more than one school.
As a college coach, Calipari has 21 (20 official) 20-win seasons, 9 (8 official) 30-win seasons, and 4 (3 official) 35-win seasons.

John is a common English name and surname:
John may also refer to:
A hall of fame is a structure housing memorials to famous or illustrious individuals in a certain field, usually chosen by a group of electors. The meaning of "fame" has changed over the years, originally meaning "renown" as opposed to today's more common meaning of "celebrity".
In some cases, these halls of fame consist of actual halls or museums which enshrine the honorees with sculptures, plaques, and displays of memorabilia and general information regarding the inducted recipient/s. Sometimes, the honorees' plaques may instead be posted on a wall (hence a '"wall of fame") or inscribed on a sidewalk (as in a "walk of fame" or an "avenue of fame"). In others, the hall of fame is more figurative and just simply consists of a list of names of noteworthy individuals (or sometimes groups, for ex. Sporting groups or Rock groups) maintained by an organization or community or honouring its inducted members legacy or legend.
The English-language term was popularised in the United States by the Hall of Fame for Great Americans at Bronx Community College, in New York City, completed in 1900. Its inspiration is the Ruhmeshalle ("Hall of Fame") in Munich, Germany. The Walhalla memorial in Bavaria, Germany, is an even earlier hall of fame, conceived in 1807 and built from 1900 to 1907.
