In discussing the changing of the guard for UK men's basketball from John Calipari to Mark Pope, Barnhart says "sometimes fresh starts are good for everybody."

Pope explains why he plans on delegating more to his assistant coaches than he has in the past. He also speaks on the challenges and advantages of building a roster from scratch, and why he's so intrigued by the potential of San Diego State transfer Lamont Butler in his system.

Eaves also discusses how much he thinks Tiger Woods has left and the golfers to beat this week at Valhalla.
