From UK to Wyoming, Allen Edwards finds success on basketball trail

Here’s a storyline that practically writes itself: Former Kentucky player Allen Edwards returns to Rupp Arena as a successful college coach.

But not so fast, newshounds.

When asked last week about a Kentucky-Wyoming game, Edwards said, “Not really interested in it unless they’d want to do a two-for-one and come back to Laramie.”

Edwards made sure to say he meant no disrespect toward former UK teammate Mark Pope, who will inspire the happy-homecoming theme when he leads Utah Valley against Kentucky next season. Rest assured, UK will not play a “return game” at Utah Valley.
