Kentucky basketball won the coaching trade by replacing Calipari with Mark Pope
Kentucky, there's a clip going around. That's awesome. It's Mark Pope coaching in the huddle, essentially telling his players exactly what Cooper Flag is going to do... Something that Kentucky basketball is missing that in-game coaching. Kentucky basketball, good for you guys.
Mark Pope led Kentucky to the NCAA Tournament as a 5-seed in his first year, while Calipari's Arkansas also made the tournament as a 6-seed. Neither made the Final Four, so it's too early to declare a clear winner, but Pope's first year was solid.
