In Mark Pope BBN gets two things they have been most vocal about: a modern offense built around the three, and a pivot from player first to program first. His passion for the program will win over this fan base - if it hasn't already.
@tom_hart As a retired lifetime, Coach I completely respectfully disagree. A Coach should never put a program in front of the needs of a player....NEVER! It takes players to make a program great...if a Coach puts players first, you will have success! #WPS #calipari #RazorbacksUSA
@tom_hart @markcstory There’s nothing wrong with program first… bc that’s not at the expense of the players. Those players from 15+ years ago LOVE UK/BBN & it’s reciprocated. The players first thing was coming at the expense of the university though.
@tom_hart But Tom, I thought Kentucky could get anyone they wanted. 🤷♂️ They had to settle for their 5th choice, with 4 turning them down - that we know of.
