Pitino is clearly going to mentor Pope

[BigE_44]

Everything Rick has said tells me he’s going to be a featured player moving forward. Return this year for a game, retirement within two years then I absolutely see Rick holding something akin to the Coach Emeritus role that Cal was set up for in his deal.

Hey I'm all for it. His personal life aside, he's a damn good coach.

Hope he doesn’t have him bring prostitutes in for anyone.

Certainly seems like he is setting up for something like this. Maybe take the GM role some have spoke about

I can agree and see this.
Kinda like a Joe B Hall for Cal but actually more influential for Pope.

I'm all for it. Having Pitino mentor Pope as a legendary coach here is how I would like to remember Rick for on top of everything he did to revive Kentucky Basketball in the 90s.

Pitino as GM/Ambassador and he can play a part in the revival of UK Basketball, again.

Pitino thought he was a good pick so why can't everybody on here?? He knows more than all these basketball experts posting here.... LOL

Pitino wants to have Kentucky be his legacy home and I’m all for it. He knows this is the one place he’s been where he can do that. I truly believe he regrets ever taking that Louisville job. It was way too small time for him but he was young and arrogant plus mad at the brass for not taking him back when he wanted it.

Now he wants Louisville to suffer and destruct too.

It’s the 90’s again!!! What a wild time to be a UK FAN.
