Kentucky men’s basketball coach Mark Pope was issued a public reprimand and fined $25,000 by the SEC for postgame comments he made in the wake of a loss to Auburn on Saturday night.
After falling to the Tigers 75–74, Pope was heard saying loudly on a hot mic, “[Athletic director] Mitch [Barnhart], if those mother------s try to fine me, screw them. I did not say a word about how they cheated us.”
