Around this time two years ago, it was Willie Cauley-Stein going blonde in an unexpected, midseason change of hairstyle. He recorded seven rebounds and nine blocks while going a perfect 3-for-3 from the field in his first game in the new ‘do.
Following Cauley-Stein’s blonde debut, John Calipari said in the postgame press conference, “There’s two things I’m not. I’m not the tattoo police and I’m not the hair police. I don’t care how you make your hair look. I’ll say this: ‘Looking like that, you better play, Willie.’”
I wonder if that was Cal’s response when he saw Willis’ new look for the first time yesterday.
