John Calipari has often said that he doesn't think of himself as a basketball coach anymore, but rather a leader of young men. On Tuesday morning in Campton, Ky., a rural town in Wolfe County, Coach Cal gave his players a different lesson in leadership while giving back to those in need.
Coach Cal and the Kentucky Wildcats joined Samaritan's Feet at Campton Elementary School to deliver shoes and a message of hope. More than 450 students from Campton Elementary and Rogers Elementary School sat down at chairs in the gymnasium, had their feet washed by the players and coaches, and were given new shoes for the holiday season.
Walter Cornett, of Glendale, Kentucky, is the owner and operator of Walter's Wildcat World. He founded WildcatWorld.com in 1998 making it one of the oldest Kentucky basketball fan sites in operation today.
