During the Kentucky Wildcats' 78-65 win over Albany, freshman guard Jamal Murray was called for a controversial technical foul towards the end of the game after forcing a jump ball. Calipari was not pleased with the call, and after arguing with the referees, told the ref who called the technical "you are done" if he was lying about why he called the tech on Murray.

It looks like Cal is already in midseason form. He said after the game that the ref said he called a tech on Murray for cussing, which Murray and his teammates dispute. Cal also doesn't believe it, and if the tape doesn't show Murray cussing, watch out ref.
Cal, on his talk with ref after Murray technical: "If you're going to tell me one of my kids cussed, you better not be guessing."
