LEXINGTON, Ky. (WYMT/UK Athletics) – Kentucky men’s basketball staff hired Mikhail McLean (pronounced: MICK-hail MUH-clean) as an assistant coach on Friday.
“Mikhail played and coached under Kelvin Sampson who is one of the best, toughest, and smartest coaches in the game,” Pope said in a statement to UK athletics.
McLean has spent the last three seasons on staff with Lamar University as an assistant coach.
The Cardinals jumped to a record-breaking 19-14 season in 2023-24. The Cardinals’ 19 wins were their most in NCAA Division I since the 2011-12 season.
McLean is a native of The Bahamas and serves as the associate head coach on the Bahamian National Team staff.
