Did Brown's cameo with UK violate NCAA rule?

Hall of Fame Coach Larry Brown's attendance at Kentucky practices last week and his apparent interaction with players might raise questions about a violation of NCAA rules.

According to NCAA rules, a temporary consultant can be brought in to counsel the coaches. But that consultant is not supposed to interact with athletes. During Friday's interview session, UK center Josh Harrellson said Brown had been participating in practice.

"He'll even stop drills like Coach Cal does and put his input in," Harrellson said. "It's great having a legendary coach here guiding us and helping us out."

UK Coach John Calipari, who considers Brown a friend and mentor, said he invited players to seek advice from Brown about how to improve.

"Not a bad deal," Calipari said. "He's a Hall of Famer."
