— -- John Calipari has too much on his mind. The University of Kentucky basketball coach got his daughter's birthday wrong on Twitter.

Calipari tweeted today what at first seemed like a heartfelt birthday wish to his daughter, Megan.

Only, Megan's birthday wasn't today. She turns 25 on Sunday.

Looks like Coach Calipari's pulled a classic parental mistake: forgetting their kid's birthday.

He chalked it up to having to keep track of his two platoons, a crushing offensive strategy in which Kentucky's top-ranked players play just half the game in two teams of five.

Blame it on the basketball.
