John Calipari isn't ruling out coaching the Dominican Republic's national basketball team, but he did confirm that he hasn't spoken to anybody about the job.

“I've not been contacted by anybody,” Calipari said. “It would be an honor to be considered for something like that, but I don't know (the) timeframe. I don't even know if I could do it. Where that got started, or whether they're considering asking, I don't know.”

Speculation about Calipari's involvement with the Dominica Republic's team has intensified after the announcement of Rick Pitino as head coach of Puerto Rico's team.
