Meanwhile in Lexington KY the introduction of UK’s new coach Mark Pope drew a standing room only crowd of 20,000+ fans to Rupp Arena on Sunday. I think that answers the question about Wildcats fans’ first reaction to the new coach. You left out the mass exodus of most of the current roster as well as the decommitted highly rated recruits.

I’m not a blind apologist for UK athletics-was just reporting what I was reading a few minutes ago in the print Courier Journal . I did hear that DJ Wagner was in the portal and heard earlier that Reed Sheppard was staying. Sounds like other players must be in the portal-have not been paying attention. I’ll be with some UK fans tomorrow afternoon at our every Wednesday watering hole so will catch up then

I think that answers the question about Wildcats fans’ first reaction to the new coach. Today’s The Athletic Antonio Reeves and Tre Mitchell are out of eligibility; Rob Dillingham, Justin Edwards and Ugonna Onyenso declared for the NBA Draft; DJ Wagner, Adou Thiero, Joey Hart, Aaron Bradshaw (Ohio State) and Zvonimir Ivisic (Arkansas) hit the transfer portal. That leaves only Reed Sheppard, a potential top-10 pick, who is weighing his stay-or-go decision, and deep reserve Jordan Burks as the only scholarship players who haven’t publicly expressed plans to leave.

Bump- didn't realize until just now Bryan Dougher (grandson of HC's Jim Dougher) was thrown under the bus as well in this transaction. Doesn't seem to be employed as a basketball coach anymore.

His grandfather did the job of three assistant coaches and team manager timholycross probably did some of what a DOBO does today.

Before Dougher, Frank McArdle coached the freshman team AND he was Jack Donahue's only assistant (at least the only one in my 3 years watching Jack's teams). While Jim was there, there were others around at least, even if they didn't have the status Jim had.

No one has brought this up in a while, but Chaminade is the high school of the late, great George Kennedy.
