John Calipari bringing Kentucky staff (and Brad) with him to Arkansas
The sidelines at Bud Walton Arena will look all too familiar to the Big Blue Nation next season.
According to Matt Norlander of CBS Sports, former Kentucky head coach John Calipari is expected to bring most of his staff from this past season with him to Arkansas. In fact, Calipari intends to bring four of his five assistants from the 2023-24 Kentucky team.
Those include associate to the head coach Bruiser Flint, associate coach Orlando Antigua, assistant coach Chuck Martin, and assistant coach Chin Coleman. Additionally, Norlander reports that Calipari’s son, Brad, who served as Vanderbilt’s director of on-court player development this past season, will also join the Razorbacks’ staff in Fayetteville.
The lone staff member not tagging along with Calipari to Arkansas is John Welch, who was tabbed the associate head coach at Fresno State earlier this week.
At Arkansas, the trio of Antigua, Coleman, and Martin will hold the title of assistant coach while Flint will be named the special assistant coach, per Norlander. Brad Calipari will take over a player development role.
Calipari was officially introduced as the Arkansas head coach on Wednesday, receiving a five-year contract beginning at $7 million per year with plenty of incentives baked in. The contract runs through 2029 with a maximum of two automatic rollover years for NCAA Tournament berths. Calipari also receives a $1 million signing bonus.
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. – A new scam is popping up on screens, and banks say it’s catching people off guard.
Arvest Bank is warning customers about an increase in fraud involving unsolicited video calls that appear to be from financial institutions. The calls often begin with a text, email or phone call urging immediate action.
A spokesperson reported that scammers may claim there is suspicious activity or a technical problem, then push victims to join a video call through FaceTime or another platform, and once connected, they try to get customers to share their screen while logging in to accounts, entering passwords, or moving money.
“Scammers are always finding new ways to steal money, and that now includes video calls,” said Erin Gray, Arvest’s director of Integrated Account Protection.
Arvest urges customers to be cautious of urgent, unexpected requests, especially those asking to watch account activity in real time. The bank advises hanging up and calling back using a verified number, avoiding screen-sharing with strangers and checking accounts regularly for unusual activity.
Anyone who believes they’ve been targeted is encouraged to contact their bank and report the incident to the Federal Trade Commission at ReportFraud.FTC.gov.
