Which SEC coach is pushing against Olivier Sarr’s waiver?

The decision of whether or not Olivier Sarr plays at Kentucky lies in SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey’s hands, and according to a new report, one SEC coach is trying to stop it from happening. But who?

Earlier this week, the news broke that Sarr was cleared by the NCAA a few months ago, but the SEC has to grant an additional waiver to bypass the league’s rule that student-athletes with less than two years of eligibility remaining have to sit out one year. Yesterday, Kyle Tucker tweeted that one SEC coach has been pushing against Sarr being cleared to play at Kentucky, sparking plenty of speculation.
