Calipari has a new book coming out

Like former Kentucky Coach Rick Pitino, new Kentucky Coach John Calipari is more than a mere coach. Or unlike his immediate predecessor, Billy Gillispie, who thought of the job as almost exclusively coaching and recruiting, Calipari sees the job as a multi-dimensional, multi-medium adventure.

The evidence came before Calipari’s introductory news conference.

His co-author (ghost writer?) got the word out that Calipari is producing a new book that will hit stores soon.

Here’s the news release:

Coach’s forthcoming book from Simon & Schuster’s Free Press will release in time for next basketball season,
on September 15, 2009.

The book, “Bounce Back: Overcoming Setbacks to Succeed in Business and
in Life,” by Coach Calipari with David Scott, is available for pre-
order at Amazon.com.

The book’s focus is on helping readers to push through whatever of
life’s setbacks they have encountered – be it job loss, divorce, loss
of a loved one or any type of personal struggle. Drawing on his
experience from the very public firing by the New Jersey Nets, Coach
Calipari offers a road map for not only Bouncing Back, but for staying
on top once your goals have been reached
