The University of Kentucky men's basketball department will undergo changes to its administrative staff for the upcoming 2010-11 season, head coach John Calipari announced Thursday. At his request, assistant coach Rod Strickland will take on an administrative role in operations to reduce travel requirements. The search for a new assistant coach will begin immediately. “Rod Strickland has been a vital part of our success here at Kentucky and helped set a foundation for our program,” Calipari said. “He will continue to be an integral part of our future successes in a non-coaching capacity. We expect other administrative staff changes as opposing schools fill their vacant basketball staff positions.”
