John Calipari says NCAA changes raise more questions than they answer

By ADAM ZAGORIA

Kentucky coach John Calipari says the new NCAA reforms in college basketball raise more questions than they answer.

“None of this goes into effect until the NBA and the Players Association come up with something, and I’m hearing it won’t be until 2022,” Calipari said Wednesday night on ESPN from the Bahamas, where the Wildcats will play four games between Aug. 8-12. “So we’re probably wasting our breath dealing with the ins and outs of this.”

The NCAA’s rule changes include allowing players to work with an agent while declaring for the NBA draft. College players would have to request an evaluation from the NBA Undergraduate Advisory Committee on their draft prospects. The rules would also allow elite high school players to work with an agent if the NBA removes its one-and-done rule. The one-and-done rule may not change until 2021 at the earliest, however.
