Kevin at 30 million for 7 years? How much is Kalani making again?

11:22am

More than this. The BYU basketball coach is not being paid more than the football coach. Basketball brings in

I hope Kentucky enjoys Mike Pope

Icelandic Cougar

11:22am

No, I think his name was Matt Pope?

Icecat

11:26am

We pushed out Pope for not delivering a single tournament win in 5 years and for consistent head scratching losses

True, true

Rhubarb

11:21am

Being an HC is about being a good administrator. And that entails surrounding

BackPacker

Is it crazy to think BYU might be in a better position than we were with Pope?

violetjazz

11:21am

Who's Pope? Isn't that some dude in Robes in Italy?

docrick

11:22am

Made something for the occasion:

mvtoro Scrub

11:21am

Okay, yours is better than the one I posted an hour ago.

Ted Lasso

11:25am

I'm in shock. We brought in a top guy, paying him over $4M/year, KSL reporting he turned down $5M/year to be the Nets HC

slappy All-American

11:20am

I honestly think Kentucky would take Kevin Young over Mark Pope. This is an unreal hire

RealTaysomHill All-American

11:20am

But Young couldn’t exit a bus with a bunch of 50 somethings who won 30 years ago

Ainge says the plan is to not come to training camp with 6 really young players.

Hypnotoad

It should absolutely be the plan. Play Lauri with all rookies next year. Keep Lauri and then trade the top 3 pick
