Coach John Calipari 'Loses' Player Trey Lyles; Uses Twitter To Find Him [PHOTOS]

Being a college basketball coach has to be a tough job, especially when you are the head coach for Kentucky.

John Calipari has a lot of responsibilities. He has to answer to the media, make sure his student athletes are doing well in school and -- most importantly, perhaps -- keep track of the kids so there are actually players on the court at the appointed time.

Calipari, for the most part, does well with the first two, but apparently No. 3 is a bit of an issue.

The Wildcats flew to Baton Rouge for their match-up with the LSU Tigers and that's when Calipari noticed his 6 foot 10 inch tall power forward Trey Lyles wasn't on the plane.

Calipari went to Twitter to try and find him. (How do you lose someone who's almost 7 feet tall?)

Of course when you ask Twitter for help you will get some great responses.

Calipari followed all that up by making sure Trey showed up for the shoot around.

It does look like he made the trip.

This is a pretty good story. Where do you think Trey was?
