"Former Kentucky Wildcats Endorse Mark Pope as New Basketball Coach"

Sources indicate that Mark Pope, the current Brigham Young University coach and former UK basketball captain, is a leading candidate to become the next head coach for the University of Kentucky men's basketball team. ESPN analyst Fran Fraschilla believes Pope would bring a modern, upbeat, and competitive coaching style to Kentucky, citing his success at BYU and familiarity with Kentucky basketball. However, some skeptics question Pope's lack of NCAA Tournament wins and his ability to recruit at Kentucky's level.
