John Calipari is set for life, and he has UCLA to thank.

Kentucky has offered its Hall of Fame basketball coach a lifetime contract after UCLA tried to poach him, The Athletic reported Monday.

Calipari was already under contract through 2024, after signing an extension in 2017, but the new offer on the table from Kentucky includes a 10-year term as coach in addition to an agreement to be a paid ambassador for the university after he retires, the website reported. He made $9.2 million this year, making him the highest-paid coach in the country, per USA Today.

Before Calipari guided the Wildcats to the Elite Eight, an NCAA Tournament run that ended Sunday with an overtime loss to Auburn, the school gave UCLA permission to speak with the 60-year-old coach, not believing he would leave. But UCLA — which has been without a head coach since firing Steve Alford on New Year’s Eve — offered Calipari a six-year, $48 million contract, which spurred Kentucky’s lifetime offer. It appears to have worked, as Calipari told UCLA last week he would not leave his current job.

Calipari has one national title under his belt, after the Wildcats won it all in 2012 — his third season at the helm — in addition to leading them to four Final Fours. He also coached Memphis and UMass to Final Fours, though both of those appearances have been vacated due to NCAA violations.

With its dream of Calipari dashed, UCLA could try to pursue Virginia head coach Tony Bennett once the Cavaliers’ season is over, according to The Athletic.
