Mark Pope is one of the most intelligent men in college basketball right now. He was in med school, and he coached a style that was innovative and fun. Then he changed his vision, he bent to the sound of others that said Kentucky would never win a title playing the way he coaches.
Last year, when he spoke on life lessons and using the brain to help stay positive, everyone was loving it. Now that the team is fully healthy and playing as badly as they have all season, BBN is starting to grow tired of the poetic Pope.
