John Fanta caught up with Kentucky head coach Mark Pope, who was a member of the Wildcats' 1996 national championship team and takes over after John Calipari spent the past 15 seasons in Lexington.
Mark Pope sat down in his office on a Zoom call, smiling from ear to ear with a look of excitement on his face – one that says he's enjoying every second of life. As hectic as it might be to take over a college basketball program and build it from the ground up, especially a blue-blood program like Kentucky, it's a special time for Pope, who is now home in Lexington.
' But, we get to build it from the ground up. It's pretty special. The guys have just started moving in. I'm picking up each guy from the airport, and we're getting to know each other. This is where it gets super exciting. One element to your journey into getting this job is the challenge you just encountered. You had to lead BYU from the West Coast Conference to the best league in America, the Big 12.
