Meet BYU basketball coach Mark Pope's toughest critic and confidant

LDS Living

BYU head basketball coach Mark Pope calls his wife, Lee Anne Pope, his "confidant of all confidants," his advisor and his "most honest and toughest critic."

The "power couple" sat down with Morgan Jones of LDS Living to talk about navigating life in the NBA, how they met, working for David Letterman and how basketball has shaped their lives. Lee Anne Pope grew up around the game as the daughter of Lynn Archibald, the former head coach at the University of Utah and an assistant at BYU.

"(Lee Anne) knows the Xs and Os of the game," Mark Pope says on the "All In" podcast.
