Jason Hart turns down pro job

[Smashcat]

An NBA team came for Jason Hart, but he turned them down to stay with the Cats

Hart received high praise from Mark Pope.

Good to see he stayed loyal to Pope and honored his commitment to coach for the University of Kentucky. Unlike that one position coach in Football, forgetting his name of the top of my head but went to the Eagles a few years back IIRC.

He may not stay long because he may be highly sought after, but if that happens I trust Pope to bring in just as capable assistants.

He has been paying benefits to the recruiting side that is for sure.

Agree.

Hopefully he just prefers the college game and stays until he gets a good D1 HC offer.

or at min stays until an NBA HC job and not just jumps for an assistant spot in the league.

That’s when you know you have it cooking. Pope assembled one helluva a coaching staff to have NBA coming after coaches and the staff hadn’t even coached a game yet as a unit!

Well, I can tell you one name that won’t be mentioned by the Pros thinking about taking a NBA job…

Mark Pope.

Indeed but if he is highly sought after that means it probably led to good things for us .

Probably the Pistons with the restructuring being orchestrated by Trajan Langdon. I could see that Dukie trying to snipe a recruiter away from UK. Hart was also a player for the Bobcats while Bickerstaff was an assistant coach for his dad.
