Live updates from Rupp Arena: Kentucky basketball introduces Mark Pope as new head coach
kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-basketball-men/article287673085.html
Quick Glance: Enthusiastic Kentucky Fans Welcome Mark Pope as New Wildcats Coach at Rupp Arena
- Mark Pope's debut game as Kentucky's coach is still over six months away. However, the manner in which fans packed Rupp Arena for his unveiling as UK's new men's basketball coach would surprise those unfamiliar with the sport's calendar, considering the 2024-25 season doesn't commence until November.
- Rupp Arena accommodates 20,500 spectators. The lower section of the venue features 10,000 theater-style seats, all of which were occupied. The upper section, with an additional 10,500 seats, took longer to fill, but by the time Pope was formally introduced at 4:54 p.m. on Sunday, not a single seat was vacant.
- All of this to greet back a beloved figure.
- "We witness these introductory press conferences frequently," Pope remarked. "No individual worldwide has ever witnessed a spectacle like this."

espn.com/womens-college-basketball/story/_/id/39877359/ex-virginia-tech-g-georgia-amoore-transferring-kentucky
Quick Glance: Georgia Amoore Transfers from Virginia Tech to Kentucky: Impact on Wildcats
- Georgia Amoore's transfer to Kentucky follows Virginia Tech's announcement of hiring Megan Duffy. Amoore's 'do not contact' request indicated her predetermined transfer plans. Duffy's successful coaching history with the Golden Eagles sets the stage for Amoore's transition to Kentucky.
- Amoore's impressive performance at Virginia Tech, with career-high statistics, positions her as a key player for Kentucky under Coach Brooks. Despite her WNBA potential, she opted for an additional college season to aid in implementing Brooks' system at Kentucky.
- Amoore's elite playmaking skills and deep understanding of the game will be instrumental in enhancing Kentucky's performance. Her role as a player-coach figure will elevate the team's dynamics and foster growth under the new coaching regime.
- Playing a pivotal role both on and off the court, Amoore's expertise and strategic gameplay will significantly impact the Wildcats' overall performance, providing a valuable asset to the team's development and success moving forward.
With John Calipari on the way out, a top candidate for the Kentucky job makes a statement
kentucky.com/sports/college/kentucky-sports/uk-basketball-men/article287503915.html
Quick Glance: Arkansas Saves Kentucky and John Calipari
- John Calipari and Kentucky were on the brink of giving it one more shot. Arkansas saved them from themselves - and that's good for everyone.
- The relationship between the 65-year-old Hall of Fame coach and the elite program was not just dull but also burdensome. When athletic director Mitch Barnhart and Calipari sat for a local television interview last month to assure fans that they were on the same page and committed to getting the Wildcats back on top, it seemed more like a hostage video.
- Arkansas and its billionaire supporters unexpectedly intervened to recruit the coach nobody else pursued and offer him a compensation beyond what others could provide. Everyone benefits. Perhaps not the Razorbacks - time will tell - but certainly Calipari and Kentucky. He was in desperate need of a fresh start, as were the Wildcats. After failing to reach the second weekend of the NCAA Tournament for the fourth consecutive year, the individual who led Kentucky to seven Elite Eights, four Final Fours, and a national title in his initial decade came to a realization.
- This is not intended to diminish Calipari's past achievements at Kentucky. He revitalized the Cats, contributed to their national title, and kept UK in contention for a championship nearly every year during his remarkable first ten years. He served as a positive influence in the state, demonstrating his philanthropy in times of crisis. This is about recognizing that since 2020, Calipari was tarnishing this legacy. It's about acknowledging that both sides knew the journey had come to an end and it was time to step away. Just when it seemed that Calipari and Kentucky were considering another attempt, Arkansas intervened and rescued them from themselves.

Kansas governor vetoes ban on gender-affirming care for minors and 2 anti-abortion bills
pbs.org/newshour/politics/kansas-governor-vetoes-ban-on-gender-affirming-care-for-minors-and-2-anti-abortion-bills
Quick Glance: Kansas Governor Kelly Blocks Gender Confirmation for Minors
- Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, vetoed a bill on gender confirmation for minors, leading to conflict with Republican state lawmakers.
- The package of measures now goes back to the state Legislature, where the GOP majority is likely to have enough votes to override the governor's veto. Lawmakers are expected to return for a veto session on April 29.
- The proposed measure would ban gender-affirming care for trans and non-binary youth in Kansas, including puberty blockers and surgeries, although surgical procedures on children are rarely performed.
- The law would also allow lawsuits against doctors who would lose their licenses if they provide gender-affirming treatments to minors, and state funds like Medicaid would not be used for such treatments.
