Mark Pope is a master of his craft. He’s an X’s and O’s wizard, a master motivator, and a man who understands how to connect with his players and the fanbase on a deep level. He can manage the intense pressure of coaching at Kentucky, but as he recently revealed, there's one common skill he struggles with: driving.
A tale of tunnels and tickets
Speaking with the Field of 68 network, Pope admitted he was a "terrible driver, especially with a bigger vehicle." When analyst Jeff Goodman asked how many tickets he's gotten in his life, Pope launched into a classic, winding story about a recent trip to Switzerland for the U19s.
