Kentucky Basketball Coach's Assistant Leaves for SMU

On March 25, Kentucky men's basketball coach, Mark Pope, could soon have an opening on

his staff.

Assistant coach Jason Hart is reportedly heading to Southern Methodist University as associate

head coach.

He'll reunite with Andy Infield, who just took over at SMU after leading Southern

Cow.

Earlier this week, CBS Sports reporter John Rothstein broke the news.

Hart spent eight seasons with Infield at USC from 2013 to 2021.

That strong history likely smoothed the move.

No word yet on reactions from the Kentucky program, or a timeline for Hart's departure.

Fans are already buzzing about who might fill the spot.

This shakeup highlights how quickly coaching staffs evolve in college basketball, especially

with fresh hires like Pope still building his team.
