First Cal era like game under Pope
- Thread starter champs-r-us
- Start date
What a great comeback!!! Your point is don't play on my court, take your ball and go home.
oldsports never engages in meaningful dialogue. He just does what he’s doing in this thread. Despite this new account, I’ve known the dude and his ways for years.
I don’t believe that coaches need to put players on blast in public, but one of my very few concerns with CMP is whether he’s too close to his players. There’s a reason bosses don’t typically socialize with their subordinates, and officers don’t fraternize with enlisted… it puts good order and effectiveness at risk, especially when tough discipline has to be handed out and tough decisions have to be made.
I’m not saying it’s a problem, but if or when, the team runs into some adversity or unrest in the locker room, the coach can’t be everyone’s buddy
I think the coaching staff is full but maybe you can call in to the postgame radio program. Clearly Pope needs your advice and coaching knowledge which far exceeds his.
Maybe you didn’t notice our two pgs are out and this game is sandwiched between one on the other side of the country that went to ot and the other is against a local community college down by the river.
When you call in, remind them to put Ritchie in.
I again suggest you phone in and hopefully the coaching staff will get to hear all about what you would do and they will take it and run with it. Your vast knowledge will be the key for this team’s success. Call now please. If busy, keep trying.
Probably that you sound like a blowhard douche and your UK fandom is very much in question. Probably.
It’s half asked. You were asked to do a job and you did half of what was asked. What would half assed mean?
Champs_R_us from 2009 til yesterday made like 35 posts, makes several posts today spelling doom and gloom .
It means little to no care. Not working for something.
They got up 17-0 thought they could just coast by on talent. Started getting serious and they turned it back on.
Not the best case scenario but not the sky is falling either. It happens all the time to every team out there.
Well its Louisville week so I think we know which team he's a fan of.Champs_R_us from 2009 til yesterday made like 35 posts, makes several posts today spelling doom and gloom .
I'm ok with having an off game. It happens, especially given the circumstances. What concerns me is how poorly we shoot the ball on a regular basis. Shooting was the last thing I thought would be a weakness for this team. It just doesn't make sense to me.
As important as not having our best 2 point guards, we have to move Robinson from the 2. We replace him with Brea at the 2. Brea is not nearly as quick and active as Robinson, thus slowing our offensive flow. Defensively Robinson lacks the quickness to guard the point and Brea lacks the quickness to guard a 2. This caused all kinds of problems tonight. I also feel Carr is much more effective offensively with Robinson at the 2 because of better spacing. We MUST have Butler back by conference play. He is the glue for this team.
Sounds almost as if you’re asking for a dose of Bob Knight or Nick Saban. Not sure any of that flies anymore in the NIL era?
I think that’s a pretty realistic take. I see the same thing. Most of the SEC competition is going to be better than UK.
