After a 1-5 start, John Calipari knew he had to make some changes. The first was sending Cam’Ron Fletcher home to help the freshman get in the right frame of mind and send a message to his squad about what is and is not acceptable at Kentucky. The second is asking three players to step up and help manage the attitude of the team, or, as Calipari put it, the “non-negotiables.”
“I just told them, I’m going to have fun with this,” Calipari said this morning. “I’m going to enjoy myself. We named three guys to be leaders to do away with all the non-negotiables, attitudes, how you accept coaching.
