How do you only get 3 shots off with Brea???
Coaching malpractice by Pope.
- Thread starter morristhecar
- Start date
Meanwhile Oweh bricks 3 threes as Brea sits.
I'll say the same thing I said last year when people said this about Cal and Sheppard.
Why are people so quick to blame absolutely everything on the coach? Brea is the one out there shooting, not Pope. It's Brea's responsibility to work hard enough to get his shot off. The other team is also trying to stop him. It's not as easy as just drawing up plays for a shooter.

He’s gotta be on the court though, right? I mean, he’s been sitting next to Pope most of the game, and almost all of the second half.
Here we go, took one game to start complaining about Pope. You guys are funny.
By playing him like two minutes in the second half
Knew it would happen. Cals pals .
How is he supposed to shoot when he barely comes off the bench?
Brea has to be tougher. If he can’t get open then he literally has little to no value. However he was absolutely covered hard all night
Brea has to get 13.65488 threes per game …. faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar Da Pope
He's been one of the worst guys on the floor tonight. And this wasn't exactly the type of game he excels in. You saw it on that last possession when Butler hit that 3. Something was clearly drawn up for Brea but Clemson completely took him out of the play.
They play two ends of the court in basketball. He’s behind Robinson and Oweh on the defensive end by a wide margin. He wasn’t getting open tonight so Pope went with the other two.
Gotta be kidding me! After 1 ****ing loss the lunatics have escaped the asylum.
Why are there a bunch of negative posts tonight from posters I've never heard of before?
Oh, that's right. Don't take the bait, folks.

Overreact much?
Nobody is above criticism. I think Pope is a great coach and perfect for us but at the same time tonight wasn't his best coaching job. Its ok we all have bad days. I bet you he would say so himself.
brea cannot handle physical defense. He gets pushed around easily and if he can’t get open he can’t do anything offensively. Also he’s awful defensively. So pope didn’t play him
I wonder if you guys actually understand the sport you’re watching sometimes

When he was in he was getting blown by on D and offensively he was a mess with the ball.
Maybe the right move was to keep playing him and hopes his shooting cancelled the rest out. But he was a liability in the first half
Butler being saddled with foul trouble all game is what killed us. Meanwhile their bull in a china shop big man didn’t have a single foul.
So a team takes a player out of the game by making sure he is guarded. You want to have Brea go up on 2 guys, oh you want to have every play drawn up for Brea. OK. UK had to overcome the refs tonight and could not do it. You want to go back and look at 20 rebound boy and tell me how he did not get any fouls, Maybe you want to watch Oweh drives where he was bumped and no call and then the play where the Clemson player side stepped, was not hit by Oweh but still a foul on Oweh. Get out of here.
This you? Yeah, your opinion is worth less than nothing.
OP not a UK fan so obvious
Pope was awful tonight, but it wasn't because Brea only took 3 shots. Stupid ass line-ups that weren't working, sitting Brea down 5 with 3 or 4 minutes to go. Playing Kriisa and Carr together. Running Kriisa at the point when he's been garbage on the ball all season.
The team was awful from the floor all night plus Clemson played a rough game, something the Cats obviously struggle with. Coach couldn’t do anything about either. Does DMB stand for dumb?
Some of you need to put the drinks down.
The threat of Brea alone
Will give you a lot more than what some others gave tonight that played alot more min.

There's a bunch of Calipari brainwashed idiots that have been waiting to trash Pope. I really need to stop visiting this board. I'm a low key laid back person for the most part, but the posts here trigger my intolerance for idiocy.
Mitch gonna give Pope the dope a 10 year 100 million contract no doubt
And when he is covered hard it leaves others open. Having him out there helps everyone out. The thing is a guy like Brea can go scoreless for 15 but all of a sudden pop for 9 points in 2 minutes. I can't understand how people are defending him sitting the bench when he is an elite 3 point shooter. He needs the shots.
But him being on the floor should make it easier for others. You can't just have a weapon like him sitting on the bench when your struggling to score.
I said the first loss it would be unreal with these people
Ton of idiot trolls currently stirring the pot
I see I haven't missed much the last couple of decades....
