The phrase usually lends itself to a negative connotation. For example, when the Twins play the Yankees in the playoffs, they are usually "one and done". Same goes for most of Denny Green's playoff appearances that didn't involve an ill-timed knee or a complete no show in the NFC Title game.
But much like every stupid Jeremy Lin pun to which the media has subjected us, this now overused, worn-out phrase is synonymous with what is becoming John Calipari's legacy at Kentucky. It basically refers to the tendency of his recruits to do their "year of hard time" in college in his program knowing full damn well they have no intention of seeing Sophomore year in blue and white. Lexington is merely a one-year pause on their way to the NBA.
