ESPN’s Jeff Borzello and Myron Medcalf have released their college basketball Coach of the Year rankings as of right now.
Amazingly, Borzello and Medcalf have Kentucky head coach Mark Pope at No. 10 on their list. It’s hard to imagine any list not having Pope in the top 5 at the very least.
ESPN top 5 right now are Bruce Pearl, Jon Scheyer, Darian DeVries, Todd Golden and Dennis Gates.
Here is an excerpt about Pope:
