Larry Brown has attended Kentucky practices this week. He'll be at Saturday's game against Georgia, but will not be sitting on the bench, Calipari said.

John Calipari calls Brown a friend and mentor.

Brown, who parted ways with the Charlotte Bobcats earlier this NBA season, is serving as another set of eyes "to maybe throw me some ideas we haven't thought of," Calipari said. "I just like he's here. I like hanging around him. I'm more relaxed."

Center Josh Harrellson said Brown has been participating in practices.

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