He's been amazing this year. I just wish he was more of a disciplinarian. He seems to be more of a buddy to the players than a coach sometimes. He's the polar opposite of Cal. I think there's a solid middle ground there. When you've got kids trying to do too much, you've gotta shut it down.
The correct answer was to let Garrison have Carr's minutes at the 4. I know Carr has been banged up, but he has been putrid in almost every game he's played in the last month. Garrison even has a better 3-point percentage than Carr.
Perry was a SG in high school. what part of watching him makes you think he is a PG ? There is a reason why Robinson was playing PG with Butler out. Im sorry but you just dont seem to have the ability to be reasonable. falling apart at the end of games is something teams with no pg or freshmen pg's tend to do and why teams with experienced pg's tend to make the right plays down the stretch. If you havent noticed that about the game of college basketball then step back from the computer, go think about it and cool off then go to sleep
My only gripe with him is him teaching defense.. Got zero complaints about his offense but he's gonna have to get rid of one of his assistants and hire a really good defensive coach.. Really don't know what any of his assistants do beside maybe recruit?
Neither one was a lane violation. Both times the ball hit the rim before Williams or Oweh crossed.
I have to agree with this. When the decision is made that best chance for winning depends on putting them on the line and pressuring them to make free throws, the execution for doing so was glaringly absent. Late game situations like this should be preached, understood and PRACTICED, so that execution occurs !! To my view, this is grade-school stuff. Not sure who's at fault, coaches or players, but the failure to promptly execute was glaring. Hopefully, they will learn from this ... they must.
Not one single post from you after the Tennessee game regarding Pope or the team.
There are some issues that stand out. Amari was playing a great game until the last several minutes. Amari absolutely will not block out at the free throw lane. Watch the last several sets of FTs Texas took. He walks forward into the restricted arc like he’s just going to catch the ball out of the net. Assumes the free throw will be made with his hands way down.
Noah was missing a layup and then getting the ball stolen in crunch time. Played like a Morehead freshman.
"On offense our guys rarely run tight off of a screen."
I think Pope coaches more like he played, not like Pitino coached. Not a criticism, just my observation.
Troll??? Lol, I post here all the time but don’t live on here like you so ead jackass. Pointing out basic fundamentals isn’t trolling, it’s the truth and read the board and listen to the call in post game show will confirm it. I didn’t ask for your opinion so here’s some message board advice, don’t agree with it……scroll on cause no one care what you think in your parents basement.
Agree, Perry is not a PG but many people think he played that in high school- he did not- he can score/shoot well but a PG he is not
Reddick played point guard until they needed the best ball handler to ice the game- that was Perry.
