Who is John Calipari yelling at?

It happens every game.

Cameras catch players and coaches yelling, cursing, and basically acting like overgrown children all the time. Its nothing new.

This video is a little more interesting, however.

For those that watched the UK-UofL game on Saturday, you will remember that at the start of the game, this one came dangerously close to getting out of control. Knees and elbows were thrown and challenges were issued, the most interesting of which appears to have come from John Calipari himself.

Watch this video, and then I'll explain (the good stuff starts at the :16 second mark):



I'm not lip reader, but what Coach Cal appears to say is "he'll kick your ass after the game's over, wrong guy." And if you pay attention to player and referee movements before the camera zooms in on Coach Cal, he could be yelling this at Reginald Delk, who was the Louisville player jawing with Eric Bledsoe, or at the ref.

From my perspective, it looks like he is yelling at Delk, but who knows. I also don't know what Delk did or said to provoke Bledsoe to react like that.

If anyone has or knows of a video with a little more clarification, send it along.

He's yelling at the referee, lol, then I guess he yelling at his player trying to get him under control and it was successful...

as the biased Kentucky fan on this site, its pretty clear he is yelling at Delk... he even says in his presser that he doesnt remember who he yelled at

Some people who were sitting behind the bench said Cal was telling the ref that Delk said that to Bledsoe. Notice the video intentionally doesn't show who Cal was talking to or the first few words. The people behind the bench say Cal said to the ref that Delk said to Bledsoe, "I'll kick your a** after the games over - wrong guy." Meaning the refs went after the wrong guy and called the foul on the wrong guy.
