Mark Pope Named Head Coach

of Kentucky Men’s Basketball

 

LEXINGTON, Ky. – 04/12/2024

 

When his alma mater came calling,

Mark Pope knew there was no place

Like home.

 

Mark Pope, a captain of the

University of Kentucky’s

1996 National Championship team,

Has returned to Lexington as the

23^rd head coach of Kentucky’s storied

Men’s basketball program,

 

UK Athletics Director

Mitch Barnhart announced Friday.

 

Coach Pope is a nine-year head coaching

Veteran with stops at BYU and

Utah Valley, amassing a 187-108

Career record.

 

His squads won 20 or more games

In six of the last seven seasons and

He has made six postseason appearances.

 

“Mark Pope not only brings an impressive

Record in nine years as a head coach,

But also a love of the University of Kentucky

And a complete understanding of what our

Program means to the people of our state,”

Barnhart said.

 

“As a captain on the ‘96 championship team,

Mark was a beloved and respected teammate.

As a head coach, he is highly regarded nationally

As an innovator.

 

His teams run a unique and dynamic up-tempo

Offense and they get after it on defense.

He is a strong recruiter with international ties

And a person of integrity.

 

“He fully embraces our high expectations and

Standards and I know that as our fans get

Reacquainted with Mark, they will be eager to

Join him on what promises to be an exciting ride.”

 

University of Kentucky

Athletic Director

Mitch Barnhart

Announcing the hiring of

Coach Mark Pope at U.K.

 

I don’t know that you can ever

Describe what it feels like to put

The ‘C’ on a shirt and captain a

Group of guys to a championship,

We’re gonna roll out at Rupp Arena

And we’re gonna have a spotlight

On the banners that represent this

Place. There are very few people

Who can stand on a podium and

Say they were part of that and

They captained the team and now

They’re ready to lead the ship.

 

University of Kentucky

Athletic Director

Mitch Barnhart comments on

The hiring of Coach Mark Pope as

The 23^rd Men’s Basketball coach

At The University of Kentucky

 

It worked out just like I had hoped

All the big “name” coaches turned

U.K. down and the University

Decided to go with one of its own.

As a long time fan of Kentucky

Basketball (our family moved to

The bluegrass state in 1966)

I am super excited what the future

holds for Kentucky basketball!

 

Go Wildcats!!!

"Hail Purdue"

To Your Call Once More We Rally;
Alma Mater Hear Our Praise;
Where The Wabash Spreads Its Valley;
Filled With Joy Our Voices Raise.
From The Skies In Swelling Echoes
Come The Cheers That Tell The Tale
Of Your Vict'ries And Your Heroes,
Hail Purdue! We Sing All Hail!

Chorus:

Hail, Hail To Old Purdue!
All Hail To Our Old Gold And Black!
Hail, Hail To Old Purdue!
Our Friendship May She Never Lack.
Ever Grateful, Ever True,
Thus We Raise Our Song Anew
Of The Days We've Spent With You,
All Hail Our Own Purdue!

 

The lyrics were written in about 1912

by James R. Morrison (class of 1915),

and set to music by Edward S. Wotawa

(class of 1912). The completed song

was published in 1913.

040824 "Too Late"...

“Too Late!”

Sad words those… “Too late” … for they always

Emphasize what might have been and should have

Been but was not… especially in life-insurance.

 

In March 1915, a man living in the northeast wrote

To a prominent life insurance company for information,

This was promptly forwarded.

 

As he did not reply, other correspondence was sent

Suggesting that he protect his family with a policy even

A small one. He put it off.

 

Finally, in October 1918 the insurance company sent an

Interesting booklet entitled, “How much insurance ought

I to carry?” Then, after more than three years and answer

Came… not from him but from his wife,

 

She wrote…

 

“Your letters and your interest in my husband’s insurance

Is appreciated, He died one week ago from pneumonia

Without insurance coverage and leaving two children.”

 

Like most husbands he doubtless intended to take out

A policy, but like many careless ones, he put it off until

Too late.

 

It was too late to protect his family after he was dead.

There was a time he could have done it quickly and at

Little cost, but he waited until too late.

 

As the cost increases with each year’s advance in age,

The time for everyone to insure is now!

040624 Basketball quotes in honor of the University of Alabama Men's Basketball team...

Today's post is in honor

of the Alabama Crimson Tide

Men's Basketball Team's

1st appearance in the

Final Four...

ROLL TIDE ROLL!!!

- Hayden Childs

 

To win, you've got to put

The ball in the macramé. 

- Terry McGuire

 

The secret is to have eight

Great players and four others

Who will cheer like crazy. 

- Coach Jerry Tarkanian

 

A basketball team is like the

Five fingers on your hand.

If you can get them all together,

You have a fist.

That’s how I want to play.

- Coach Mike Krzyzewksi

 

I tell the players that they

Can’t relive any day in their

Lives and that they can't relive

The minutes of a game,

So they should make a great effort,

A Mount Everest type effort,

To live up to their potential.

Success is a communal type thing,

And if we win, then everyone can be

Considered successful and we can

Move uptown together.

- Coach Al McGuire

 

Humility is the true key to success.

Successful people lose their way at

Times.

They often embrace and overindulge

From the fruits of success.

Humility halts this arrogance and

Self-indulging trap.

Humble people share the credit and

Wealth, remaining focused and hungry

To continue the journey of success.

- Coach Rick Pitino

 

When life kicks you,

Let it kick you forward.

- Coach Kay Yow

 

 

There is a point in every

Contest when sitting on

The sidelines is not an option

- Coach Dean Smith

 

A person really doesn't become whole,

Until he becomes a part of something

That’s bigger than himself.

- Coach Jim Valvano 

 

Talent is God given.

Be humble.

Fame is man-given.

Be grateful.

Conceit is self-given.

Be careful.

- Coach John Wooden

 

Your defense will save you

On the nights that your

Offense isn’t working.

- Coach Adolph Rupp
