as a “Special Assistant” that will not be part of the regular three assistants, but will have another role with the program. While his duties are not certain, he will be able to learn under Coach Calipari and get his foot in the door to coaching. Calipari already has two assistant coaching jobs filled and is looking for a recruiter for the third. Rod Strickland will be the Basketball Operations guy and Padgett will likely be in a special assistant role. In addition, another former player (this one of the Pitino era) is also considering a possibility of taking on a similar role to Padgett, although it is not clear whether he will actually end up taking the gig. If this becomes reality, we wish Scott well and I know he will do a great job. <-----according to kentucky sports radio
