After Kentucky’s 76-68 win over Florida on Saturday, John Calipari was presented with a basketball to commemorate his 500th victory.
That number included 42 wins Calipari-coached teams at Memphis and Massachusetts were forced to forfeit by the NCAA for violations during his tenure.
Gary Johnson, the head of Division I men's basketball statistics, said Monday that the NCAA does not recognize Kentucky's win over Florida as Calipari's 500th college coaching victory.
According to the NCAA, Calipari's record at UK is 55-11, at UMass 189-70 and at Memphis 214-68. That adds up to 458-149.
Calipari was not found to have violated NCAA rules in either case.
