Joker Phillips was back visiting the new basketball coach, Coach Cal at Kentucky. They started a conversation and began arguing over who was dumber, a UK football player or a UK basketball player.
Joker said, "I hate to say this, but football players are dumber than basketball players. Watch and I'll show you". He then called in his quarterback and asked him to come into the office. The QB came in and Phillips says to him, "Here's 25 cents, go down the street to the car dealer and buy me a new Jimmy".
The QB takes the quarter and leaves. A few minutes later, he comes back in and says, "Hey Coach, I forgot to ask, what color did you want?" Phillips tells him to forget it, he's changed his mind.
After the player leaves, the new Wildcat coach says to the basketball coach, "I'm telling you, my guys are dumb!"
Calipari says "Not so fast, let me show you one of my basketball players" and promptly calls one in to the office. The coach says to Demarcus Cousins "Could you run down to my office for me and see if I'm there?"
The player starts to leave, but as he gets to the door, he stops short, turns around and says "Hey! There's a phone right there on the desk ... Can't you just call down there?" They hired him right on the spot to be Phillip's new assistant.
