John Calipari Is Photogenic, Full Of Expressions

There were multiple photographers keeping an eye on John Calipari during Friday night’s matchup between Kentucky and Indiana, monitoring his every move and expression. Turns out Calipari Cam is a national treasure, giving us eternal joy in the form of numerous hilarious faces -- some 20 photos, all of the Kentucky head man.

Calipariface is real, and really excellent.

This is just superb photography. The framing here is second-to-none. Really emphasizes Calipari.

Everyone else: pretty normal expressions. Calipari: photobombing with an upset look on his face.

Don't know what Doron Lamb did, but he done messed up.

Still confused, but even more so this time.

I just want to know what they’re looking at. I’m assuming someone just ate it on the court during a break.

This is what’s commonly known as the “bad burrito” pose.

Last but not least, the nightmare fuel.
