Breaking News: Kentucky basketball head coach #Reyen day terminate contract….

Pope has been in Lexington for a while now and has put to rest almost every negative narrative about him as a coach early into his tenure. Coach Pope has recruited at a high level and won big games. All there is left to do is have success in the NCAA Tournament.

This discussion doesn’t really have to do with his abilities as a coach on the court. It is more about the other details of the job. Coaches in college hoops has other jobs than just winning games. They have to develop their players into great people after basketball, respect the game of basketball, and lastly, treat fans the correct way. Coach Pope is a perfect example of all of these things.

Coach Pope has a group of players who have been great with the Kentucky fan base and will all be great men when it’s time to hang them up.

A great example of this was on Saturday against Louisville when, after the big rivalry win, Coach Pope let the Louisville players get to their locker room before his players threw the L’s down to the crowd.
