The youngest member of Mark Pope’s Kentucky basketball coaching staff won’t be going anywhere for a while.
Mikhail McLean, who was the final addition to Pope’s first UK staff last spring, has signed a new contract that will keep him in Lexington through the 2026-27 season. McLean, a former Houston player, a longtime support staff member under coach Kelvin Sampson, and, more recently, an assistant coach at Lamar University, came to Kentucky on a one-season deal last year.
