I don't think I have seen this posted (disregard if it was), but saw this a while back and was impressed.
It's a nice little video to see how Pope coaches.

He played under RP and remarked how tough it was and how they wore teams out.Fun watch. The boys are gonna be well conditioned!
thats about 2 more than weve seen in the last 15 years!3 and a half minutes in and watched two guys draw charges. I like it.
This vid is 3 years old, pre-rule change. Charges not what they used to be.3 and a half minutes in and watched two guys draw charges. I like it.
They have practice time allotted for individual workouts with assistants per the NCAA. The teams are allowed to practice X number of hours but there are hours over and above that for individual or small group stuff like position specific drills.Love how the majority of drills seem to be team drills. Team defense. Team offense etc. instead of an over emphasis on individual drills and skills.
You need both but the ratio should lean towards team drills. The individual stuff should be about improving individual pieces and then bringing it to the team concept and getting repetitions on how it all fits together…not just open scrimmaging
And double Post.I want more Dribble Drive, floppy action.
I think that was fading even as far back as 97.Did Pope press at BYU? I would love to see it back like the Pitino days.
Cal had the teams to thrive pressing and wouldn't unless we were down 10+ with 2 mins or less left.
Now floppy action is bad? Tell me you don’t know basketball without saying you don’t know basketball.I want more Dribble Drive, floppy action.
We'll see. I think it's much more about coaching and about the pieces you have to put on on the floor in order to make a press work. Pope is mostly about O so he might not press but I think he has the pieces if he gains a little more in depth. Either way, I bet we press 50% of the time....Just guessing of course.I think that was fading even as far back as 97.
Good modern squads tend to have too many ball handlers to do more than slow the other team down a bit.
Even Cal teams seldom had issues with presses and you know he wasn't investing a lot of time preparing for them.
Pressing is now a situational defense. Pope is going to use constant movement on offense to wear teams out.
was thinkin the same thing. I quit watching after a few minutes because of thatreminds me how much I hate those stupid a$$ masks
I agree. I’d love to see us press 50/50. Not only would the press wear a team down but also the constant ball and player movement on offense will wear them down as well.We'll see.

Presses aren't just about what we do or immediate turnovers but a psychological CHANGE in aggression that the other team has to meet both mentally and physically.
I'd love to see us press 50/50! Just love it! The old adage is, you throw over the top of a press. That works...some times but again, it's not all about what happens on each play but about the mental and physical fatigue that hopefully creates turnovers and transition points. Just my 2 cents though. Back out of a good press and the other team mentally takes a play off...and makes a mistake, kinda thing.
Oh, I love a good pressing defense. Two of the best ever were our Pitino teams and Nolan Richardson's Razorback teams, back then. His 40 minutes of HELL was for real. Gave us and a lot of teams fits. We were both very good and had some real battles with those teams. About as close as we'll ever be to a "rivalry" with that school, though. They were newcomers to the SEC and had something to prove for a while. Might be similar with Cal but I kinda doubt it, in the long haul. Might do more for a so called "rivalry" if Cal won the first game ...but screw that! Lol!I agree. I’d love to see us press 50/50.

We played them first in Fayetteville last year and then they had the return trip to Rupp. Not sure how the SEC schedule works but wouldn’t we get them at home first this season? I can’t wait, I hope we beat the brakes off them.Oh, I love a good pressing defense. Two of the best ever were our Pitino teams and Nolan Richardson's Razorback teams, back then.

Political theatre. Guys sweating and hitting each other. But the mask is protecting them! Lol.reminds me how much I hate those stupid a$$ masks

surprised they didn’t all instantly die when any coach lowered their mask to actually be heard
I saw a lady in Kroger with a mask. This is so infuriating!So dangerous. I am appalled they did hit have a bubble around the court.
You spelled GO! wrongI want more Dribble Drive, floppy action.
It’s off topic but it drove me crazy to have to wear a mask while standing in a restaurant but can remove it when seated. Like the virus only travels at around 5 to 6 ft up 😂. I know you have to remove to eat, my point is why wear them at all? Common sense was lostsurprised they didn’t all instantly die when any coach lowered their mask to actually be heard
I had to take a covid test for work and stopped at the bank right after getting the "all good". The bank made me wear a mask to enter even though I had the paper in my hand that said I didn't have the coof. LOL. I can't believe how we acted.It’s off topic but it drove me crazy to have to wear a mask while standing in a restaurant but can remove it when seated.

I always liked the ones in their car. LMAOI saw a lady in Kroger with a mask. This is so infuriating!
I purposely went the wrong way, because of the stupidity. I’m a rebel I guess 😂I enjoyed when they made Wal-Mart aisles one-way, that saved millions of lives
