Pope's the next UK coach despite all the nonsense around here with Oats, Musselman, Pearl, etc.
I'll be beyond shocked if that's true.Pope's the next UK coach despite all the nonsense around here with Oats, Musselman, Pearl, Pitino, Lloyd, Drew, etc.

Mark Pope hasn't won a tournament game. That probably changes this year. But he's had NO post-season success. The only reason anyone is interested in Pope is his UK connections. But, there is zero track record. Everyone else you mentioned has proven far more.
Scott Drew actually has a full blown national championship.
I like Mark a lot, however THE Pope has a better chance of being UK's next coach than Mark Pope.
Pope is 51.Yeah lets hire some old farter.
Can you elaborate on why you like him?BYU pulling for them to win the Big 12 tourney and make a deep NCAA run as long as KY isn’t an opponent. Pope has done a fantastic job and hope if and when we hire a new coach he gets a look.
Didn’t say he would or should get it I’m sure KY can and would do better but I like his calm demeanor and his style of play. Doesn’t hurt he played for KY under Pitino.Can you elaborate on why you like him?
So far he has zero NCAA tournament wins. I suspect he'll win at least 1 or 2 games this year. But when I look at the best replacement candidates--Pope is so far down the list.
Yeah I know but wouldn’t be bad if KY is a 3 BYU the 4 in the same bracketBYU could theoretically leapfrog us in seeding if they make a run to Big 12 finals and we lose first game so would prefer they lose just in case
ZERO chance they beat both TTU and Houston to get to the finals.BYU could theoretically leapfrog us in seeding if they make a run to Big 12 finals and we lose first game so would prefer they lose just in case
Quin Snyder.Seeing Johnny Dawkins coach UCF made me wonder who is the best from the Coach K coaching tree? Would it be Mike Brey?
It has to be one of them. While Quin has done it in the NBA they both have about the same winning percentage at around 58%. Neither of them has set the world on fire.Quin Snyder.
He's made it to the Western Conference semifinals three times. To me, that makes him more impressive than Brey.It has to be one of them. While Quin has done it in the NBA they both have about the same winning percentage at around 58%. Neither of them has set the world on fire.
If you think people are upset at Calipari.... just go back and look at some of the games Pope has lost this year, and in past seasons. Coaching at BYU is a very unique job, probably one of the more difficult jobs in any major conference. So with that said Pope has done a great job building a solid team this year, but he would not be a great fit at UK.Pope's the next UK coach despite all the nonsense around here with Oats, Musselman, Pearl, Pitino, Lloyd, Drew, etc.

Calipari in his 2010-2015 mode.Who's your top choice?

That mode was AD, Julius, and Kat. Nothing else. If those talents come along again and Cal can get them then there’s hope otherwise nah.Calipari in his 2010-2015 mode.
I'm not sure Julius May's belongs with the other two.😉That mode was AD, Julius, and Kat. Nothing else. If those talents come along again and Cal can get them then there’s hope otherwise nah.
I knew with 100% certainty when I read the thread title, the debate that would follow. ONLY a handful of post about the actual game (subject of the thread title). I guess the 1st thread wasn't enough Pope to UK, not to UK.
It's a dog crap game no one cared about. What did you expect people to discuss?
No one on here gives a crap about byu vs ucf.
