06:53 AM ET 03.30 | University of Memphis coach John Calipari is open to meeting with officials from the University of Kentucky about its head coaching position and could do so as early as today, according to a source close to the situation. As of Sunday night, Kentucky officials had not contacted Memphis asking permission to speak to Calipari, according to sports information director Lamar Chance. After the Tigers returned Friday from Glendale, Ariz., where they played in a fourth straight Sweet 16 last week, Calipari told reporters that Memphis was "where I want to coach." Yet, he apparently is willing to listen to overtures about the job that came open when Billy Gillispie was fired after just two seasons.
