... to call Coach Pope a "replacement" for Cal?
I get the term isn't necessarily wrong, but he's so completely different of a coach and person that it sounds OFF calling him a "replacement."
He's the new coach, but he was chosen in good part because he ISN'T Cal-like. Going in a new direction is more accurate to me, so he doesn't seem like a replacement as much as a complete overhaul. I know it's picking nits, but it seems quite a bit different going from Pitino to Tubby than Cal to Pope.
Anybody else thinking the same?
