Kentucky basketball coach Mark Pope on challenges, advantages of building roster from scratch

View descriptionShare

This week's episode of The C.L. Brown Show features an interview with new Kentucky men's basketball coach Mark Pope, who was the captain on the Wildcats' 1996 national championship team. Pope was the surprise replacement for John Calipari who left UK after 15 seasons to become the head coach at Arkansas.

Pope explains why he plans on delegating more to his assistant coaches than he has in the past. He also speaks on the challenges and advantages of building a roster from scratch, and why he's so intrigued by the potential of San Diego State transfer Lamont Butler in his system. (This discussion took place before Jaxson Robinson became the newest Wildcat after withdrawing his name from the NBA draft and following his former BYU coach to Lexington.)
