If this info about Pope is true and it appears it is, then the amount of fans who are upset is going to be long and this place is going to be a hard read for awhile. I get it and to each their own. That is one of things message boards are for.
In the end though, I suspect most fans will get behind Pope and give him a chance to see how he performs and most, if not all, will be rooting for him to be successful. Even fans who wanted cal out never wanted him to be anything but successful because we all love UK basketball.
I’ll admit I am surprised at the choice. Pope seems like a good coach and has had moderate success so far in his career. He is hungry and motivated and understands the culture. Most importantly to me is that he wants to be here. He knows what it is expected. Excited to see what he can do as I would have been for anyone hired.
Just my 2 cents. You all have a good night or as good a night as you can have right now. Later.
