The Kentucky Basketball program will not be hiring a general manager, head coach Mark Pope announced on Friday.
Instead, Pope will go with a four-man management team.
“In this ever-changing, dynamic college basketball environment, everybody is trying a different solution. For us, instead of hiring a singular GM, we’ve gone with a more comprehensive general management team approach,” Pope said in his latest Twitter Q&A video. “We have four members of the team.
“Keegan Brown is a data analysis and roster construction expert that’s worked in both college and in the NBA.
“Nick Robinson is our salary cap strategy and management specialist.
“Kevin Sargent is our compliance officer, and he deals with all of our contracts and legal language.
“And Kim Shelton is our JMI liaison, and she does all of our NIL contracts and dealing with corporate sponsorships. That’s our four-person general management team.”
Not the answer the BBN wanted to hear, but it’s the hand that’s getting dealt.
