Kentucky coach John Calipari says senior forward Derek Willis won't miss any game time despite his June arrest for public intoxication.

Calipari wouldn't say what disciplinary steps were taken against Willis other than to say the arrest illustrates his point to players that ``being here, you can't talk your way out of it.''

A Boone County deputy arrested Willis in Union on June 11 after finding him asleep and lying outside the open driver's side door of a car. The arrest citation said the deputy noticed a strong odor of alcohol coming from Willis, who had slurred speech when awakened.

Willis was arrested for a first and second offense and released after posting $50 bond.
