Oh no, don't go Cal, not that, the game will never survive without you /s
While John Calipari has watched his peers -- such as Jay Wright, Tony Bennett and more recently Bruce Pearl -- surprisingly exit the game amid major changes to the sport, the 66-year-old coach said he's not considering a similar early departure.
But he also said he will leave college basketball when he can no longer do the job the way he wants to do the job.
"I want to help 25 to 30 more families," Calipari said during SEC media day Tuesday. "The only way you do that is to be transformational as a coach. If you're not, you're transactional. If I become transactional -- 'I'm going to pay you this to do this and that' -- then I won't do this anymore. I don't need to."

Calipari: Will retire before becoming 'transactional'
John Calipari has no plans to leave college basketball but said if he can no longer build relationships with players and do that job the way he wants, he'll exit the sport.
