Calipari, a native of Pennsylvania,
said the decision to leave Kansas was
not an easy one.
John Calipari, a KU assistant basketball coach for the past three years, has resigned to accept a similar position at the University of Chicago.
"I wouldn't have left Kansas for any other job," he said yesterday. "But Pitt's in the big East Conference and it's my hometown."
Calipari said he would be leaving Lawrence for Pittsburgh this weekend.
At KU, Calipari coached the junior varsity team and helped in scheduling and recruiting efforts. At Pittsburgh, he will coordinate recruiting along with coaching the Panthers.
Calipari was born and raised in Pittsburgh. He played college basketball at Clarion State University in Connecticut, where he graduated with a degree in business marketing in 1982.
Calipari, who first worked under Ted Owens and then Larry Brown at KU, said he was looking forward to coaching in the Big East Conference, which placed three teams in this season's Final Four.

Bird will lead Celts in game 4 against Lakers
Larry Bird, who on Monday was named the National Basketball Association's Most Valuable Player, will lead the Boston Celtics against the Los Angeles Lakers and Magic Johnson tonight in the fourth game of the NBA playoff finals.

Johnson was second in the MVP balloting by a nationwide sports media panel. Tonight's game will begin at 8 and will be televised from the Forum in Inglewood, Calif., on channels 5 and 13.
The Lakers hold a 2:1 advantage over the Celtics in the best-of-seven championship series and finished the regular season with a 36-5 record at home.
