LEXINGTON, Ky. — Kentucky coach John Calipari didn't sound up to speed when he joined the summer Southeastern Conference teleconference Monday.

"What are we doing?" Calipari asked before receiving instruction to provide a statement about his team.

"On my team coming up this season or the team I'm now coaching," he said in reference to the USA Basketball Under-19 team he's in charge of. "Which one are we talking?"

The call was to talk Kentucky. But the NCAA one-and-done rule, a topic Calipari has addressed ad nauseam, came up again.
