Mark Pope doesn’t talk about basketball the way most coaches do. He speaks on parts of the brain, and how to use them. He talks about philosophy and joy. He speaks on his faith and how it fuels him. And now he talks about physics.
It's bot basketball, it's physics
“Everything we think about in this game is about how do we achieve gravity,” Pope said. “You achieve gravity with space. You achieve it with pace. You achieve it with great cutting.”
It’s not jargon, it’s the essence of his basketball blueprint. Pope’s Kentucky is designed to pull defenses apart and create motion where others see static.
