Calipari, Wall’s former coach at Kentucky, went on Cowherd’s radio show The Herd and defended the young NBA player. Things didn’t get as heated as coach Cal’s appearance on the Dan Patrick Show on Thursday, but he had a strong defense.

Cowherd often brings up the fact that Wall did a dance called “The Dougie” in 2010. The Washington Post has a great history of all the times Cowherd brought up his dissatisfaction over Wall performing this dance. Here’s just one example from December 2014:
Cowherd has made plenty of other comments about Wall. He also discussed the recent report that Wall was thrown off of an airplane. Calipari didn’t deny it, but said it was one of his friends who acted rowdy and caused the disturbance, not Wall.
“You’re like that guy that’s hooked on this thing about the Dougie so it’s driving you crazy,” Calipari said to Cowherd. “You got to go to church, ask for forgiveness, let it go by. Let it go. Forgive.”
