This is a vintage Wilson 28.5" rubber NCAA Final Four bracket basketball autographed by Hall of Fame head coach John Calipari!
It features a classic white, blue, and orange panel layout showing the NCAA March Madness Tournament bracket diagram alongside "NCAA CHAMPION" and "FINAL FOUR" graphics.
John Calipari is one of only two head coaches in NCAA Division I history to lead three different school programs to the Final Four.
His teams reached the Final Four in the following years: 1996: UMass Minutemen 2008: Memphis Tigers 2011: University of Kentucky Wildcats 2012: University of Kentucky Wildcats (NCAA National Champions) 2014: University of Kentucky Wildcats 2015: University of Kentucky Wildcats
In very good vintage condition with clean rubber pebbling and sharp printed graphics throughout.
Autograph Details: Located on the lower white panel near the bottom of the tournament bracket graphic. The signature is in black marker. Upon close inspection, trace amounts of red ink are visible beneath parts of the black signature, indicating Coach Calipari began signing with a red pen before switching to the black marker. No Certificate of Authenticity (COA) is included.
A fantastic addition for any Big Blue Nation fan cave, office shelf, or college basketball memorabilia display. Featuring Coach Cal's iconic signature on a bracket-themed ball, this piece captures the excitement of March Madness and Kentucky's dominant tournament runs.
