Hart has plenty of coaching and playing experience.
After taking the Kentucky head coaching job back in April, Mark Pope was tasked with not only building a roster from scratch, but also an entire coaching staff to surround him with. One of those guys he added to his staff was Jason Hart, a former NBA player with years of experience coaching at all three levels.
He is a very highly-touted coach, so much so that Pope called the hire of him a "no-brainer." Coming to Lexington after being a head coach in the G League, Hart is one that could even climb the ranks fast in the NBA, a real threat to do so with how much coaching talent he has. "J-Hart's a no-brainer. He just finished as a head coach in the G League. If he hadn't taken the job with the Ignite, he would be a head coach somewhere else right now. He's one of those guys that's just on an insane trajectory in this business because he's that good. Like, he is THAT good. He could be an assistant coach on an NBA bench next year, and be a head coach in the NBA two years from now. He's universally beloved throughout basketball.
